I have to concur with the idea of 4 wheel drive being unneccessary for field work. It tends to make one go where they shouldn't. If you're using 4wd, you probably degrading a road or trail, and aren't we all here to protect resources?? I've worked in temperatures and environments from Northern Michigan at -20F to the Grand Canyon at 123F, carrying all my own gear, and I've found that the most reliable SUV you can use are your own frickin' legs!! If you can't haul all your own stuff, then HIRE SOMEONE TO HELP YOU! Lots to drink, plenty to eat, and the right clothing.
