I am here in OBX now. We have a week rental from Twiddy in Carova. I have 21 silverado custom (no lo range) and this is my first time. Here's what I've learned. Air down at Twiddy BEFORE you get to the 4x4 area. There are signs posted everywhere that say Do not stop for any reason. I've been using 19-20 psi. Turn off your traction control and electronic stability control or it will cut power when you need it the most to get over the dunes. Eventually the ESC will throw an error and disengage anyway. Of course make sure you put it in 4hi Try and follow someone else's tracks but be mindful of idiots and people with more capable vehicles. When in doubt go either towards the water or hug the dunes. It's apparently ok to drive the mile or so to twiddy on pavement at 19-20psi Try and keep momentum whenever it gets thick or deep. We did fine. I literally saw TONS of Subarus out there doing ok. It's important to remember people live out there so most places really aren't that deep or bad. The worst part is getting over the dunes and the deeper ruts you drive in on the beach. Sidenote: We've been driving around looking for horses and tons of the roads on Google maps have posted not trespassing or keep out or other less pleasant things. Also make sure you stop off at the Firehouse and grab a Tshirt. Have fun and stay safe! I hope this was helpful. I was gunna post pics but the file allowance is like 9mb lol sorry Tags: Beach driving sand dunes silverado 2021

Hey I just got a 2021 Silverado Custom 2.5L - not the z71 or trail boss. Like a simple base truck. Has anyone tried any light off roading with it? Not looking to go rock crawling but would love to cruise down some sandy or muddy trails. Any simple mods under $1k that would make it more trail worthy?
