I used to put additional weight in the bed of my old two wheel drive truck, but am not sure if it is necessary in my new 4 wheel drive truck.

Not usually, unless you are going thru some REALLY deep stuff, then it couldn't hurt. But you will not need nearly as much weight as you had in the 2wd.why do some interstate signs have the State on them while others do not?

It would help but not nessary, more weight better traction. Every auto is differentNo, but if you're concerned then replace your tires with ones that are rated A for snow.

not really. but if its long bed, then it wont really hurt.voluntarily re take your driving test - what do you think?
Since the four wheel drive is just a two wheel drive with the front axles being capable of doing additional duty, just treat it as you did your 4x2. The extra weight will still help.It will improve traction at the expense of handling and performance.

On most 4 wheel drive trucks the power is a 60/40 split so most of your power will still be going to the rear wheels so it would be a good idea to add weight like you did for your 2 wheel drive truckcan stability control be added after a car is bought?
With a four-wheel drive vehicle, you will have better power traction, but when it comes to stopping, it doesnt matter if its 2x4 or 4x4. Extra weight helps no matter what drive your vehicle is. But, if you have a pickup, weight in the bed helps dramaticlly whether its a short bed, long bed, standard cab, extended cab or the big four-door cab. Also, if you got alot of power, it helps too. My little dakota has a 4.7 in it and without extra weight in the bed, its all over the road, 4-wheel drive or not.Are red cars in more accidents than cars of other colors?
Vehicles, such as trucks are designed to operate efficiently as there are manufactured and delivered, without any additional weight. Four wheel drive vehicles have better traction than their two wheel drive counterparts but-- they cannot stop any faster. Adding weight can do two things- yes it can give you more traction but the added weight can increase stopping distances and depending on where the weight is situated (front or back of box) you have to account for somewhat different handling procedures (depending on how much weight is used). Tires and driver experience are the most important factors when using a 4X4 vehicle. You must also remember that when you are in a skid with a 2 wheel drive vehicle the reaction and response are different than a four wheel drive (when it is engaged) because the front tires on the 4X4 are pulling the vehicle now also with the rear tires. It is not really necessary to add weight (I have owned 4X4 and 2WD vehicles for years and found that when driving normally--- the vehicles handle just fine when driven according to the conditions at the time.Why is it that when approaching road construction the lane closing seems to go faster?
Use extra weight then you do not to be in 4 wheel drive all the time. Save gas $$$no since the front tires are pulling weight transfer balances out the truck
I saw a McDonalds tractor trailer today at one of their local stores. How I could I buy one?

What is the lowest driving age in georgia?

Yes. Extra weight over the rear axle = more available traction to rear wheels = less fishtailing. This is true for 4x4, RWD, and FWD.
