I've never had a truck with lockouts as my first 1/2 of life it simply was not necessary - and in fact you could haul more weight more safely with 2wd. Up here, 4x4 is a must! The Dodge (2001 1/2-ton) doesn't have lockouts, but 4-lo works quite well. I don't have chains on it so there are times when I need to shift to 4-lo for a short time. As for 4-hi, the truck won't hardly go at all in 2wd but works great in 4-hi. Had to get an off-brand of tires some time back and the rubber is rather hard - so lots of spinning tires in 2wd.
As for the 2004 Chevy 1/2-ton that has push button, the 4-hi on it made a bit of noise when we first got the truck. Also, it was VERY often that the truck wouldn't even shift into 4-hi from 2wd, or into 4-lo from 4-hi. Now that I use it more often it seems to work more like it should. Still, can't remember the last time I even "tried" to shift the thing when sitting still. This truck has to be moving in order to shift. Which means if you're already stuck, ....then you're stuck! But at least it has awesome tires on it!! I use General Grabber AT2 tires, and I swear I will NEVER go back to Goodyear Wranglers....or any other tire!! These General Grabbers work awesome year-yound and are actually quieter than Goodyear HP's, which are supposed to be on-road tires. Lots less expensive also!

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
