Two-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive?

When it comes to choosing drive type, you've got three choices: All-Wheel Drive, Two-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive. These refer to the number of wheels that are putting power down on the ground. It's important to understand the basics along with the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

Two–Wheel Drive (2WD)

2WD can be either Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive depending on which axle is driven. All General Motors pickup trucks use a rear-wheel system.
The primary advantages of 2WD over 4WD are:

• Lower purchase price
• Lower Curb Weight (the truck itself weighs less, so with the same GVWR it can carry more payload)
• Lower maintenance costs (fewer power train parts)
• Lower fuel consumption

Rear-Wheel Drive is typically a stronger, more robust system with easier-to-service individual components, and better hauling and trailering capability. Drive-wheel traction can be improved with the addition of a Locking Differential.

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) and All-Wheel Drive

Within the truck industry the term 4x4 is used when referring to a system with a driver-controlled part-time four-wheel-drive transfer case, while All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is used to describe a full-time or automatically controlled system. Most pickup trucks use a part-time 4x4 system that sends power only to the rear wheels in normal operation when 4-wheel drive is not engaged. Having the ability to drive all four wheels improves traction on slippery or off-road conditions. This can be a real advantage when pulling a boat out of the water up a slippery boat ramp, for example. But it will cost you somewhat more in initial cost and in fuel.

Body Type

Mid-sized or Full-sized Pickup?

Based on the size of your cargo and the number of people you need to carry, you will want either a mid-size or a full-size pickup.

Mid-size : example- GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Colorado Full-size : example - Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Avalanche, GMC Sierra

Configuration

You also need to determine the right body type. For example, if you know you need room for 5 people and you also want to carry 4'x8' sheets of building materials, you may be interested in a truck with an extended or crew cab and a long box. On the other hand, a standard box (6.5') will fully support a 4'x8' panel with the tailgate down.
See all the different configurations of full size body types:

• Regular cab standard box
• Regular cab long box
• Extended cab short box
• Extended cab standard box
• Extended cab long box
• Crew cab short box
• Crew cab standard box
• Crew cab long box

Trailering Considerations

Extended cab standard box models are very popular for family trailering because they have a shorter wheelbase and are more maneuverable than long box models. However, standard box models may not have enough back-of-cab to rear axle length to provide enough "swing radius" to permit turning with some fifth-wheel trailers. Ask your trailer sales consultant about cab-to-axle (CA) requirements if you are considering a fifth-wheel trailer.

What Are You Carrying?

Pickup trucks are the workhorses of the vehicle world; reliable, tough and great at getting the job done. Before you can choose the right one, you have to decide what you'll be using it for:

• How many passengers will you be carrying?
• What kind of cargo will you be hauling on a regular basis? And its weight ?
• Are you going to be trailering? And what's the weight of your loaded trailer in addition to the load in the truck?

Answering these questions lets you figure out the Payload Weight. Here is the actual calculation: Payload Weight = Weight of Occupants + Weight of Cargo + Weight of the Options and/or Additional Equipment (such as roof rack, snow plow, bed liner, etc…). In other words, everything added to the truck's base Curb Weight + Tongue Weight.
The Tongue Weight is the weight of the trailer tongue that is carried on the hitch ball. Tongue Weight is generally 10-15% of the maximum total weight of your trailer when it's loaded.
