I considered, briefly, the front wheel drive option. We will be pulling a horse trailer and some places we might go to do not have high quality access or parking. The cost is substantial ($15,000-$20,000 IIRC), it adds quite a bit of weight, and extracts an MPG cost. I was also told it increases front tire wear, even if not used too often. We are not now actively considering it.

I've seen some ads for Sterling (a Freightliner division) advertising this option. I also have a vague recollection of an M2 ad.
