Ran 120 miles of deep sand......my thoughts

[7.3Tremor]

Drove in sand/snow mode in 4 HI the entire time, at one point the rear was swaying so bad the trailer sway alarm went off and the truck slowed me down. Went into settings and turned that off, then it was fun again. I also turned advanced traction control off and it was really fun. These trucks computers are a pain in the butt. Side note took entire tank of fuel to do it lol

My guess was gonna be Cape Hatteras or Cape Lookout but then I saw you were from TX...good stuff! My delivery date has got me out for the spring run...but hopefully by fall my truck will be here and I can hit the obx for the big drum.

How do you like the CargoGlide? Seems like it would be really nice with a bed rack like that, or a canopy.

That set up is amazing! That’s something I want to strive for! I was on cape lookout,NC this last weekend and the truck did well in 4hi at 30 psi at all corners, didn’t feel the need to drop to 20 or below but like you mentioned, gas mileage was not the greatest; even at 30 psi I used about 3/8 of a tank in only about 50 miles of sand driving.

That is a dream there!

They are bulletproof, have them in my service trucks and are tough, but heavy. Worth it though.
