The reason I ask is because when I moved to Colorado I decided I needed a 4-wheel drive truck, for the same reasons you mentioned.

I've hardly driven it for the last eight years because it bugs me to spend $40 (now probably $60) on gas every 300 miles. I drive it less than 2,000 miles a year because of that.

We also have a small Subaru, which gets about 50% better mileage and has no trouble getting around in the winter.
