You don&#x27;t need sand for traction in any decent modern vehicle.  They invented this thing called &quot;front-wheel drive&quot; decades ago.  Even better, now they have traction control in all cars, and some cars have all-wheel drive.<p>Only RWD pickup trucks benefit from that strategy, and there&#x27;s never any reason you should be renting one of those unless you have 1000 lbs of stuff to haul.
