    If you want a 4x4 get a 4x4. Dont lift your 2wd expecting 4x4 traction. I live in sugar sand and am the only person on our dirt road with a 4x4. I get at least 2 calls a week asking if i can come pull someone out.

    I love the ECSB 4x4's. Especially the Sierra All-Terrains. And while I agree with not getting yourself into a pile of debt at 19, I'm all for starting to build your credit early. You'll have to sit down run the numbers, and put some serious thought into it. What happens if you lose your job? Can employment insurance cover your payments and bills then? Etc. Etc.

    Not to be a dick, but thinking you'll never loose your job is a good way to get yourself into some trouble. At this day and age, there is really no such thing as a 100% secure job. Personally I would put as much cash down on a new truck as possible, and pay the rest off as fast as possible if you end up going that route.

    Well im right with you man, im 20 and bought a new truck because this. Im young still live at home, no wife, kids, and i can afford to do mods now that i might not beable to once i get a family. If it was me and knowing the traction problems these 6.2s have i would go with a ECSB 4x4, and unlike what another guy said, a 2wd can go nowhere near the places a 4x4 can. I know from personal experience with identical trucks but one 4x and the other 2x.
    Trade your truck in on a new one also. You dont want to pickup where someone else left off.
