You may want to ponder ways of solving these problems in other way, if
possible, before getting into a 4wd vehicle. Even for the 99% of the time
you're not using 4wd, you're still turning lots of extra metal parts. Gas
mileage can be rather appalling.

We can talk about any sizes, specifically the 16' and under I'm interested
in.... My truck is 2 wheel drive standard with a light back end... my boat
launch areas include:
1. beach with grassy incline to follow
2. an older gravel boat launch that could have a tiny bit of muck just
near the water.

My biggest thoughts are around the rear wheels spinning coming out of the
water with the boat on... then getting stuck...

For those using cars, I suspect a good front wheel drive would clearly
help out as you're in the dry with lots of weight on the front... As well
those launching on concrete boat launches should have an easier time
too...

What size of boat are we talking about? I went out over the weekend to
watch people loading/unloading boats and there were midsized cars
trailering the smaller boats. I plan on using the mini-van or my
daugters bonneville to launch our 16' boat (heck, I think a decent
lawn tractor could probably tow/launch my boat)
