I am buying a 2008 CR-V and live in the south so there isn't any snow. So should I consider the 4WD because of slick roads when it rains or just save my money and go with 2WD?

If you don't slip, it's always FWD anyway. FWD will cost less up front, the vehicle weighs a bit less, and it should be slightly more fuel efficient. |

| Can I remove the front driveshaft on my NP 233 and drive it 2WD? I mean will this work or cause problems? | |
| Hello. Looking at a 2006 Buick Rainier(AWD) or a Pathfinder (4WD) to pull a boat. I've heard you can really get nailed with tire problems on an AWD. True? Any other input on the two vehicks is appreciated. No off-roading will be done. Probably could get by with 2wd, but due to snow and the occasional tough ramp I might as well go with 4. The pathfinder has a switch to select the drive. No switch on the Buick. Thanks. | |
