Telluride Over the Sand / Beach Driving?

[Blizzy989]

Hello, I'm curious to hear about personal experiences with driving the Telluride over sand on the beach. I'm not talking about deeply packed flat beaches that just about any vehicle can do - more about soft and unpacked conditions where 4WD is typically required. If anyone is familiar with over the sand driving on Martha's Vineyard / Chappaquiddick Island - that's what I'm trying to assess. Thank you!

I think sand driving is more a function of your tires than the vehicle itself. If you have the 18's and air down to 15psi or less, you might stand a chance. I wouldn't take mine with 20's out there.

I've got 32" BF Goodrich KO2s on my Wrangler and airing down to about 13-15 PSI is a necessity. Just curious if anyone has actually taken their Telluride out and can report back. If nothing else I'll be asking the rangers if they've seen any Tellurides out there when I head there later this year.

Any updates here or insight? Headed to OBX in a few weeks and curious if I will get stuck even when airing down?

How did it go? I want the telluride but we go to the off road beaches in Dennis Ma

hmmm ? I would have to believe that would be nasty on the brakes and exposed suspension components , not to mention potential for pitting on exposed body parts ......................almost as bad as a good Canadian winter !!

This.

The Telluride has done very well in Mudfest and the Rebelle Rally, but with proper off-road tires.
