Yep, clearance > 4wd in most places. Unless you love deep sand and muddy stuff. Otherwise, 4wd just gets you stuck a bit further away from help than 4wd LOL. Still I'd go for both 4x4 and clearance in a truck, I mean if you are sacrificing bigger living space for mobility of a truck camper might as well get 4x4 for more freedom and less worry about some rain getting you stuck

Deep sand isn't a problem with 2wd... just air down. Have a good pump and a spare. Don't think 4wd will fix mud either, you need actual mud tires. I just avoid mud if at all possible.

Having a locker on your 2wd can be very helpful also.
