     Welcome from California.  Are they both evenly priced and in about the same shape ?  Are these trucks you have seen and are thinking about buying ?

      The real question is, are you a 4x4 guy or a 2wd guy.

Put it like this... if I see a hill, curb, or somethin to climb I'm there :) but mostly it will be driven on the street to and from work. I really like to 4x4 on 35s look and durability/ capability to go on the terain of my choice. The 2wd has 3:42 gears and I know them rpms are gonna be high as crap on the highway doin like 75mph

3.42 gears are a good all around gear and most would consider it a highway gear.  Welcome to the site from NW Indiana
