Can you drive a Range Rover on sand?

While driving on sand can be a great outing for you and your Land Rover, its important to know how to do so safely and most effectively: Reduce the pressure in your tires to around 12-15 psi. This will allow your tires to have a larger footprint and generate added traction on the shifting surface of the sand.

Is 4H or 4L better for sand?

Use 4L when driving in deep mud or snow, soft sand, up steep inclines, and on extremely rocky surfaces. Stick to low speeds in this setting, around 10 MPH. 4H is your go-to setting for driving at normal speeds (30 to 50 MPH), but with additional traction.
