Suburban/Tahoe question..... is 4WD really worth it anymore?

4wd adds $3k to the price of a new suburban - quick configurator check. If the driveway forces you to buy 4wd vehicles and no other use "requires" them....how much would you save over your lifetime by asphalting the driveway

Shooting from the hip here, with no real data, but RESALE value of same suburban is $3k higher than 2wd version, so it costs you nothing? :confused:

We get snow, I’m in the mountains. Going to the landfill with dump trailer requires it too but your point is valid. Most folks do not need it.

Wheel base?
ALl I know is the explorer would fit in my garage and close the door. The Tahoe wont.
Neither would be comfortable.

I do.
And Id never park either in there because it houses the 65.
Its a single car hole in the daylight basement and has a built in shelf along the opposing wall.

The mustang is 15' 3"...the shlef unit is 16" deep. Its an adventure pulling it in enough to close the door and not hit the front. Turns out cammed up small block and carbs arent great at precise movements with cable clutched manual trans, who knew, but I digress...
