My point is that 4WD is never used on pavement in pickups. Many pickups don't even have 4WD and they do just fine, they have plenty of traction on pavement. Trucks don't have 4WD due to weight distribution, they have it so people can take their trucks off the pavement. If you never intend to go off pavement, like so many pickup owners, you don't need 4WD regardless of whether you're in an ICE or EV truck. If you want to go offroad in an ICE or EV truck, you'll want 4WD.
I have taken a few physics classes, was required to get some science credits to obtain my CS degree. I'm pretty sure they didn't cover this concept as, well, duh.
