Yes, and they are literally like gold here. Only 150 or so allowed each year in a lottery system. Way less than a 10% chance of winning one each year. Probably closer to 5% or so by now. Violation of beach driving is $500 and forever losing your chance at lottery.

No the sand right now is fairly damp from all the rain. In the summer it turns to pure white sugar 3 feet deep and many vehicles sink. Had to help get a vintage LandRover out last year With my Wrangler JLU 4.5“ lift that is now on the market.

It's FL. They don't care what the law says. Or read it.

JK. Sorta.

How was the range? My soft sand experience gave me about 1/6 of the normal range. Granted I was hitting it pretty hard but still, 1/6 (so, about 0.3-0.5 mi/kWh) was pretty disappointing and makes my annual trips to the NC Outer Banks pretty close to infeasible without some sacrifice. Next time I go, I plan to use All Purpose mode as much as possible.

Soft Sand mode is amazing though, I actually TRIED to get stuck and the R1T just crawled right out.

I was out Sunday morning. Can confirm that the sand is wet and packed down right now, I aired down since it was my first time in this truck with street tires (normally I use an old JeepYJ), but probably didn’t need too. Summer will be a different story for sure!
