    I agree, just remember to bring a tire inflator if you are a real newbie to sand, another friend with a truck helps too.

    Welcome to TW! I actually drove in the sand for the first time out at OBX in my Tacoma. I have a 4x4 with mudterrain tires, but when deflated to about 15-18 psi I didn't have any issues just leaving it in rear wheel drive. Maintain momentum and you should be fine.

    Lived in OBX for about 2 years never used 4wd. Just deflate some an have some speed to intailly get over the lose sand entry points an recovery gear just in case. You’ll be fine.

    Use your momentum and bring a friend with a 4x4 because you will eventually need it to free yourself.

    A lot of places won't even let 2wd trucks on the beach. I personally wouldn't because depending on how the sand is packed, you may end up as a trailer.
