Turbo, if you are looking to run the dunes a truck will probably disapoint. My daughters boyfriend has one, its a blast around the small stuff and whopped out sections. But no good in the dunes.
Sandawg, I hear you on the sand experience changing, I to used to run pismo in the late 70,s and 80,s. ATC 90's, rails and jeeps all the way to devils slide. Awe the good ole days. Pismo is hardly worth the fuel to drive there anymore.
