Has anyone used their MDX in 4 wheel on a sandy beach? I am wondering if the car can perform in those conditions. I did this with my old SUV by deflating tires to 15 pounds. I just don't want to even try it unless I know it's possible.
Performance in sand

You read this old thread
Read through this thread. It is my experience from last September in the Outer Banks of NC. I survived but I didn't have the warmest feeling I could go anywhere I wanted. The really soft sand was the problem and without a low-range to keep RPM's up and speed down it was a problem.
Good Luck
