Shopping for an LBZ. Currently using an 03 Yukon XL 8.1 4wd, and I'm wondering if I need to get 4wd this time. Hardly every use it, but I was glad to have it the few times it was needed... unexpected mud pit or ???.

I guess the real question is: Would a 2wd Duramax be any WORSE than a 2wd gas due to the extra forward weight bias of the heavy Duramax? The Dmax does have limited slip rear.

Gonna pull a 2-horse trailer or dirt bikes on the weekends. Not super duty towing by any means. Thanks.
