Wide tire (bigger footprint) and light vehicle. Eliminating tire spin with lockers is a big help.

Low air pressure, wide tire, don't over or under accelerate, don't be in 3/4 ton or higher unless you have really wide tires or trax.

I've driven my truck in the sand a bunch in st. Augustine. Like other posters said, a steady rpm rate, 4wd, and wide all terrain tires make it a easy. Also, staying in ruts where the sand is packed more instead of hot dogging it in soft stuff was easier to me at least. I can't tell you how many f250s I've seen stuck bc the lazy asses wouldn't get out and lock their hubs. Last year a chick in a xterra got stuck and asked us for help. I asked her if it was 4wd and her response was, "it's a friends car that I borrowed but it's got 4 wheels!" LOL

Dropping air pressure to below 15 psi all around helps. Really. But with those tires in the picture, he should of never got off the concrete.

Not having a 3/4 ton diesel is a good start.
