Thanks, JM. No offense taken to Caddyman’s statement (sniffle, sniffle). I was born and raised on the beaches of S. California and seeing a car on the beach would have sounded like a nightmare to me too. However, this area is a whole other deal - - guess you have to experience it to understand. Point is, we see lots of SUV’s driving there but are unsure about this particular model and were hoping someone had tried it and could comment.
