Since then, it's been 4WD or AWD. I'm old school in my thinking, and would prefer manual locking hubs mainly because they are easily replaced, whereas automatic locking isn't. However...the wife's Tahoe has the button to press instead of the shifter on the floor.
That's my problem, I live on a side road and in snow over 4-6 inch's my truck just won't go. I got stranded a number of times this winter. I ran with 1k-1.3k in the bed sometimes and it was only a marginal improvement over my 600 of sand.

Than my buddy comes rolling up in his G wagon like its a summer day...
