X5 in sand. Any experience?

Post by larryengel328 »

My brother in law is thinking about buying a new X5. He spends a lot of time at Cape Cod and drives a lot on the beach. He's concerned about the X5 in sand. Does anybody have any experience? He has had Jeeps for years and he's concerned about getting stuck without a low range.

An '04+ X5 (which includes xDrive with a beefier clutchpack than the X3 version) without Sport Package should be decent in most sand. I've been to Cape Cod and I remember thinking an X5 or X3 would be a blast on those beaches. I would only be concerned about that super-dry, deep sand that isn't packed well.

I missed my 03 X5, as it was very much capable IMO in all terrains I go to.
