DRW with TC in sand

[FireGuard]

I'm curious how a DRW with a large TC towing an ATV trailer with a weight around 3k lbs compares to an empty truck towing a large toy hauler weighing 12k lbs plus?
I know the wheels don't track as well as a SRW but I would think with the weight on the truck and having to drag less weight through the sand would be better.
What are the best techniques to make a DRW perform in the sand?
Is it possible to air down enough to drive 3-4 miles without damaging the tires or maybe use spacers to create more space to air down?

I assume you didn't air down with your 19.5 tires?
Hard sand would be good, but there are times when you need to drive through the soft stuff.

You are correct, I didn't.

I mistakenly thought it was "hard Sand" and just left for 5 min to check out a site.. came back and found it this way. Too late to deflate and I'm thinking wouldn't have worked anyway, too far in. Axle was keeping it from going down any further..

I had no idea it would have been soft as the road, hard was right next to it. I just pulled off the road, wrong side, to get out of the way of traffic while I went to walk it..

Sigh..

live and learn... Some do, some don't. Don't can be expensive.

".... Packed stuff"...
Yah, I echo that one...

I got stuck... Luckily a nice TC was near by and offered to pull me out.
Lessons learned...

I use Maxtracx, but I didn't pay nearly this price for them. https://us.maxtrax.com.au/

I use them pulling an 18k trailer through mud/sand/other when needed. Sand isn't so bad as long as you stick to the packed stuff.
