21's on soft sand (beach)

[tculpepp]

Well, I finally managed to get a county pass to drive on the beach (portions of it anyway). I aired down to 25lbs, put it in soft sand mode, and the RIT drive like it was on the highway. Airing up definitely took a while and I am anxiously awaiting my deflators to make that end easier, but this is gonna be ?with the family for our 8 months of beach weather!

For specifics, I was in Grayton Beach, FL and I was riding in stock 21's at 16k miles (probably get 20 before I need tires)

I mention all this because I couldn't find much information on soft sand with stock 21's. Also because it was freakin awesome. (don't mind miniature mechanic under the bumper. She was making sure we had the clearance for sand angels)

Nice, yeah most sand is pretty easy to navigate with the 21s. This is what I do. The sand on our local beach is so nice that I don’t even air down. I go over the dunes and everything. This truck does so well in all of it.

keep enjoying.

I'm betting that it would float quite fine on full pressure, I just don't want to try it until I get my traction boards....code compliance is not too forgiving down here if you clog things up or get stuck.

Ya, you can't park there.

Just do others a favor and turn off Automatic Traction Control (if Sand Mode doesn’t do it automatically as my Bronco Sport does). It cases horrible ripples in soft sand tracks. I can’t wait until spring to take our DM R1T w/21’s onto our beaches.
