Are 4 wheel drive trucks just as fast as 2 wheel trucks?
 
is there any draw back from buying 4x4 besides weight? thinking about buying a new silverado and trading my old one in

Personally I always buy 4WD. We do get a little snow up here so that's one reason, resale is better, ect.

if it was a Duramax the 4WD's are almost always faster. Gas engine, it's gonna be a bit slower but not much.

Faster for drag racing, plus 4x4 is great for resale.

what if you put it into 4 wheel drive in theory doesn't that kinda make it all wheel drive and isn't the ss silverado all wheel drive?

Exactly why 4x4 rules truck racing.

All wheel drive vehicle's have a different transfer case made to handle highway speeds. A 4 wheel drive transfer case is made to handle up to about 45-50mph before it start's destory itself.

I would go with a 4x4 cause of the resale and it is nice to have it when you need it. If it was me I would look at a GMC I just like the styling better and the All Terrain package looks killer in black.:thumbsup:

If you are still moving to Montana? You will need it up there...

Get the 4X4 if you are moving anywhere where it gets snow.
You WILL NOT regret it.:thumbsup:

yeah i have a 4x4 now but where I have lived its never snowed.every time I have ever used 4x4 i have always gone looking for a mud puddle lol.but after driving the new Silverado last night i didn't really see much difference so i think I'm just gonna go ahead and keep mine.
