I think for the most part, we are the exception to the rule when it comes to 4x4 usage. Not the rule.
New trucks and 4low...

Aside from stagecoach vintage leafs you have the much improved coils and monobeam control arms. This setup greatly improved handling and cut 5.5' off the turning radius.
My friends 2001 F-350 xtracab 4wd takes a city block to turn around.

you go to the website, the electronic dodads take up half the page but good luck trying to find anything on capacity.

These modern multi speed automatic transmissions have very low 1st gear ratios which is good enough for 99 percent of the drivers out there.

When I bought my wrangler it was HARD to find one with no options, as it is I'm still super happy with the no-frills it has. Soft top, six speed manual, crank windows and manual locks, simple radio and AC. I wish it didn't come with carpet or had vinyl/rubber carpet tho. As it is I bedlined the tub in it and thats been about perfect.

I use 4lo quite a bit. Makes it easier backing my boat up a steep grassy hill to the barn.

Yep. Even still, I know a lot of boat owners who get 4x4 trucks for that low range when launching boats.
I kind of miss the radio delete plates, lol. Or the just AM/FM radios...
We're planning on keeping our '03 Sierra until the chassis falls apart, its only a 2wd but I'm starting to feel like the GMT800 platform is better in a lot of ways than the '19 and up GMs. I really wish I could talk my partner into a truck from Dodge or Ford but she won't budge. Sigh.
I've often wished I had a 2low on my jeep for similar reasons. Or again, boat ramps.

Cool. Even my 2011 XLT has the vinyl floor. Super easy to clean
My 2017 STX also has it.

Just reading the brochure for the 2019 Silverado. They offer two options for transfer cases. They both have an Auto 4WD mode but only one has low range.
I started messing around with the build tool. Depending on where you start you can option a 2-speed case even with a regular cab WT, V6. It's a $200 stand alone option there. On other trucks starting with a WT I could add Z71 to get a 2-speed case.
Either way I don't like the sound of a "high preemptive coupling torque" clutch.

My dually has the 6-speed manual tranny. Don't know how I'd get by without 4-Lo - I use it all the time when maneuvering in tight situations, especially backing up. Most times I don't even bother locking the front hubs - I just need the extra "creeper" gears. Sure wouldn't want to be slipping the clutch instead! I've also heard of people overheating their automatics when backing up slowly while moving around a lot of weight.
