    I've used 4WD from time to time when I hauled RV trailers from the factories. Many places store the trailers in muddy farm fields and the tractors they use to shuttle them from the factory to the staging areas are not always available. So I've had many times in the rain I was in a deep rutted out clay mess picking up my trailers.
    Not every manufacturer brings the trailer out to you on a nice paved parking lot.

    Plus I delivered only in Canada, and year round. So that 4WD was nice on our highways with snow, freezing rain and 8% hills.

    Warmshot,
    Are you still delivering RV's.
    If so, how is it going, staying busy?
    THANKS

    It's not the transmission's fault... the weak clutch and dual-mass flywheel is the culprit. The G56 can handle a lot more than 650 lb-ft.
