Took the family to the OBX off North Carolina. Awesome 4x4 beach where we found a house 9 miles up the beach. Including about 50 miles or so sand mode the whole trip averaged 21 mpg over 1500+ miles in my Outer Banks edition. Thrilled with this and the smooth ride. Just hot her all rinsed down and there was sand everywhere underneath!

Nice. What sort of cover is that in your front seat or is it just a towel? I have the leather as well and it's hot as all get out in direct sunlight.

My absolute favorite place in the world. We make the trek every year from Pittsburgh area, and always stay in Duck or Corolla. I want to move there.

Headed to Duck on Friday. We thought about buying a place 40 years ago, a duplex on the ocean for $110,000, but that place washed away. And our money would have gone with it. Oceanfront now is all in the millions and sleeps 30. I would take sound side in a heartbeat for year round residence

Can't imagine how hard on a truck driving on the beach on a regular basis is. Took hours to wash the sand and salt water out of the frame and undercarriage.

looks like a great trip! I did an ObX trip last summer and had a blast. I haven’t gotten mine out on beach yet but plan to soon and will coat the entire underside to prevent rust. If you plan on keeping the Bronco a while and hitting the beach, it’s a must. Even my old STi Subaru had a ton of rust from 10 years of just driving to the beach like 5 days a week and parking in the parking lot which would sometimes have salt water puddles from high tide. I didn’t spray the underside and I wasn’t great about rinsing or washing salt water off. Didn’t really think about it.
