I used to tow with a Jeep Cherokee with 4WD.....during the 9 years and 220,000 miles I put on it I had to actually use the 4WD 4 times....twice in the snow in Maryland and 2 times in the paddock at Mid or is that Mud-Ohio during the deluges of the 2000 Runoffs.

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.
