Proven by who...data...facts? Maybe yes, maybe no....but proven by a bunch of post writers opinions? Not really.I would argue that advocating using 2WD when you could have the extra security of 4WD is more a machismo thing....'I don't need 4WD like those young whippersnappers.' 4WD has been proven to be safer on slopes. Just because it hasn't killed you yet, does not make it a better idea.
Balancing the initial cost and maintenance vs the actual usage would be an interesting study. I am on a tractor every day of the year on my farm and a I rarely wish I had 4WD. But I am not feeding cattle, in a feed lot, in the winter mud.
