Definitely. It makes perfect sense to spend $34,000 on a used truck
three model years old and pay $700 more to get it here. Go for it!

Not to mention it's only a 2WD model.
If I was going that deep in the hole.... especially for a used truck, it
would be 4WD

I'm the real Harry, and I post from a PC or a MAC, as virtually everyone knows.
If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a PC or a MAC, it's from an ID

Duh..... I only bought the RAV4 18 months ago after the lease on my Ford
Ranger 2WD expired.
After driving front wheel drive vehicles since 1984...... that truck made
me nervous in the snow.
The rear end sure liked to jump out..... I had 100 lbs of bagged sand in
the bed although I only had the original equipment all season tires.

What would an ID spoofing moron who lives in Florida or Georgia know
about snow?

We had a significant amount of snow here last winter. I was very glad we
had a 4WD vehicle in our "stable."

I am not sure why anyone in Northern Va would need a 4wd. That is
needless complexity and lower gas mileage for a feature you might only
use once or twice a year in a freak snow storm.
I had a Jeep for 5 years across the river from him and I may have
actually used the 4wd for something where I really needed it 6 or 7
times. I probably should have stayed home and enjoyed my fireplace but
I had a Jeep.. Most of the time I was just out on the beltway heating
up 2 extra gear cases full of 90 wt.

Amen.

When I bought my truck I saved the $3,500 on the sticker by going 4X2
and I saved on the mileage by going with the 15 to 19 rather than the 13
to 17.

I was thinking for boat launching/recovery on sub-standard ramps.
