I have a 2-wheel drive Interstate 24 GT on order. The expected delivery is around the end of March so I'm looking into switching to 4WD. My dealership said it is possible. But before I pull the trigger, I want to make sure there are no significant disadvantages of 4WD compared to 2WD. Here are my questions:
It will come with autoleveler. Since the chassis will be raised a few inches with 4WD, how does this affect the extension limit of the feet? I have no specs on max extension. I know I can always add lego blocks but that's annoying.
When 4WD is disengaged, does it drive just like 2WD with similar comfort and fuel efficiency?
Any other potential issues?
Another question related to exterior paint - DW wants to change from silver on order to white. It will save ~$1k so that's okay with me. Is there any difference in colors in terms of coating therefore protection of the body?
Many thanks!
Jeff
p.s. we boondock a lot and clearly 4wd is helpful in some situations, so usage is not the question here.
