Driving in deeper sand?
Hey all--did a search but didn't find anything except for a picture of someone driving on packed sand from 2010...
We have a drive on beach here with fairly deep and soft sand. Has anyone driven their GLK in that type of environment? Curious if the 4Matic is up for it.
Thanks!

LBC is right air down to 25 psi and don't stop! Keep the speed up so the tires float on the sand like a boat planing. Manually use the highest gear for starts. You don't want to spin the wheels to start.

I have to imagine this is you telling me to **** off, since the tape is around the mirrors as it looks about to be towed...unless you are using it as the anchor for a volleyball court. As mentioned, I have an old Land Cruiser but can't help being curious if it would work...
The sand pictured is pretty much as deep and almost as soft where I live.
