I used to tow my 16x6 Wells double axle box trailer with my 4WD S-10. It
was a handful but, at 14mpg, I just watched the fluids and eventually got
there. You will never, ever, ever, ever, need 4WD...........
UNLESS
you get stuck in some rain-soaked paddock area.
I now tow the same trailer with my recent purchase: 2002 Silverado 1500HD.
I need my mirrors to remind me there's a trailer back there. I no longer
have 4WD but, I'm REAL careful where I put that trailer.
If I lived further North, I'd probably have held out for 4WD but, down here
in Texas, it is unnecessary unless one just LIKES to drive in the dirt.

Subject: [F500] tow vehicle question
I'm looking at buying a new pickup for towing my racing trailer. The deals
being offered make buying a truck from dealer stock instead of ordering
very appealing. So all the local dealers only stock 4 wheel drive pickups.
I've never considered towing with a 4 wheel drive. Are there any
significant advantages or disadvantages to consider?
Thanks
Herb Noble
