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

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.
