Another day, another Cybertruck being towed from somewhere nobody really ought to need a tow from. Take a look, Toyota Sienna to the rescue.

As someone who lives in a region that gets a lot of snow, I know that basically any vehicle can get stuck. When you get unlucky, or do something dumb, you can end up in a position where you simply don’t have any traction.
But that’s the thing, you can usually avoid the situation by not doing something dumb, like driving right up onto the beach. And if you are driving on an unstable surface like sand or snow, accelerate slowly and decisively, don’t floor it and then stop or you’ll roll back into the rut you just made.
I’d also assume sand driving is like snow driving in that appropriate tires are far more critical to performance than the vehicle drivetrain
Edit: holy crap I can write coherent sentences! honest!
I think I read at one point also lowering the pressure in the tire helps as well, but not sure how low you could safely go. You want more surface area on sand.
Edit: someone lower in the comments says 15psi
Yeah I’ve seen that for bikes but also sand and gravel works very differently from snow under tires
And weight is a factor too. The lbs/in on that things tires has to be far more than any other offroader, and wet sand is going to give far sooner than dry, packed sand. Snow and ice might actually be more stable than sand in most cases, the physics are different.
