Re: [A/S] 4 WD when towing
Well, I guess it depends on where you are towing and where
you are parking. The parking and unparking would be the
important part, since you can't tow in 4WD over about 45 and
it uses more gas.
If I am backing my '29 Ambassador up hill into a parking
place, I use 4WD.
If I am going to my parking spot at the International in
Lansing, I use 4WD because of the sopping wet field. And
Ditto going out, and then I towed several other people out
of the mud.
If I am on a dirt road and it rains a lot, I use 4WD.
When I drive my trailer up to my friend's house in MT on top
of a butte, I use 4WD.
and best of all:
When my friend's AS classic motor home got stuck in a muddy
field, I put my big black truck in 4WD and pulled him out.
Ta Daa.
And then there's always my parent's driveway in MA that
turns into a luge run for the winter.
Do you have to have it ? No, but I wouldn't leave home
without it.
