Yes two wheel drive. I grew up in the lake effect snow belt in upstate NY in a rural farming area populated by penny pinching dairy farmers. They would never in a million years by a truck with 4x4. Costs more money and it only breaks sooner than a 2 wd would. To drive in a 30 inch snowstorm they put weight in the bed (stone? wood?) over the rear wheels.
They would sit around the woodstove and slap their knees laughing and telling of the city slickers with their 4x4s who went off the road in a snowstorm because 1) they were going too fast and 2) back then there was no differential acion between the front and rear wheels with 4x4. Going around a corner the too fast set of wheels will lock and skid on the snow and ice and send the vehicle into the ditch. Although they are all dead now Im sure they are looking down on me and if I bought a 4x4 Im sure I would hear about it when my turn comes.
