I'm completely happy with my 2 wheel drive 1993 Chevy Silverado C2500 ext cab 2 door, 6.5 ft box (would prefer 8 ft box), 350 cid V8, has 156,000 kms / 97,000 miles ... bought it 5 yrs ago. I drive it daily, but not insured in winter months.
I don't often have it out in fields, and it can occasionally get stuck in soft, wet areas. Not used in winters. However, I plan to put some aggressive All Terrain tires on it in the next few months, and then it should be unstuckable. It is a beast of a workhorse, but 4x4 would be a bit better (I sold the 2007 GMC K1500 Crew Cab with all the bells and whistles, didn't need it after the kids were independent)
We have an all wheel drive SUV for year round needs.
But, If/When I was replacing my truck ... definitely a 4x4 is my choice.
