The horsepower is probably the same output, but it won't be able to tow as much as a 2WD.

No wheel weights control tire balance and have nothing to do with horsepower. The horsepower your engine produces is entirely produced by the engine.

How do I know if I need a flabed?

You would need a flatbed if your vehicle is 4-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or has a flat tire opposite the drive axle (example: you have a flat front on a rear wheel drive car). If you have excessive damage from a crash, or if you have a vehicle on the highway with a rear wheel drive. A vehicle with soil impacts may require a flatbed as well.


Can you switch a front wheel drive vehicle to a rear wheel drive vehicle?

Anything is possible with time, money and some serious modification. Front wheel drive vehicles are not designed to accept the dimensions of the parts that are needed for rear wheel drive. The engine compartment is designed to accept transverse (sideways) mounted engines not inline engines, there's no transmission and driveshaft tunnel, a custom driveshaft would likely be required, there's no clearance for a rear differential, etc. Converting a front wheel drive vehicle to rear wheel drive would probably cost considerably more than buying a rear wheel drive vehicle.
