I've been stuck in sand once with 4wd. Big heavy vehicles (GMC Suburban) don't do very well in sand, even with 4wd and BFG all terrain tires. There are some pumice fields in the Eastern Sierra that will swallow you up just 2 feet off the road. I've learned to never stop on level ground in soft sand. I am looking to buy my first new truck in 20 years and it will be 4wd. That old Suburban was like riding on rails in 4WD on ice and snow.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
