Hi everyone! I am pending the delivery of my Badlands I was wondering if anyone has experience with or knows a lot more than me about off roading in sand. Mainly I want to know if its still advised to air down with this mode available on our cars plus the fact that I will have the optional off-road tires. I purchased a 4 hose inflate/deflate device which should make It much easier to do this but if its not needed I would rather not mess with the tires if I don’t have to.
For what it’s worth, I am not planning on driving into desolate deserts or beaches, I would only really be driving onto approved beaches in NY where 4x4’s are allowed with a special permit so there will always be people around just in case I did get stuck. That being said, I don’t want to look like the jerk that was overconfident and thought that a drive mode could defy the laws of physics and wind up burying my tires in the sand. I have never driven up onto any beach or done any off roading at all because none of the SUV’s I have owned prior to this one was made for off roading at all, I am a total newbie.
On a side note: This device I bought obviously requires an air compressor to inflate, can anyone recommend one that isn’t super expensive and won’t suck the life out of my car battery OR work well with some other power source?
Thanks in advance for any help.
