At this point I would not do much towing (but do live at the beach and have thought about a boat).

• What are the true advantages or disadvantages of the AWD system (one I recall is if you have a tire issue you have to replace all 4 tires)?
• I live in South GA, rarely would go off-road, no snow, etc.
• I might tow occasionally but other than that would I really want it?

So if we get past that for almost $2,000 what do I get? (load leveling?, safer in rain perhaps?, etc.)?

Thanks all!

Here in Seattle we really have no choice, they all seem to come only with AWD. We drive up to the mountains during ski season, so it is useful, but if I didn’t ski and had the option I probably would get FWD. It would cost less and get better fuel economy.
