4X4 Questions

[FleetsidePaul]

I recently got a place in a fairly rural area. The last storm made a mess out of the dirt roads.They basically turned into mud, and I was pretty much stuck in the house. The paved roads were flooded too.

So I thought I should look into a 4 wheel drive truck.

There's what looks to be a nice 4X4 70 71? GMC sitting on a farm near me.

I drive by it all the time.

It never moves.

I'd like to make the guy an offer, but it's a big property with a gate and I don't want a shotgun in my face.

But I want to know what to look for on a 4 wheel drive, I've never had one. I've had a few of these trucks, but is there anything specific I should watch out for on a 4X4?

I really want another GMC, and this one looks pretty good, and it's right around the corner.

But I don't want to buy a money pit. Assuming that I can actually get it.

Any information would be appreciated.
