2005 Mariner off road capabilities?

Vinny 21 February 2005 08:34:57
 Hello,

I'm in the market for a new car and I like the
2005 Mercury Mariner (dressed up Ford Escape).
Most of my driving will be on-road but I would
like to do some light off-roading, mostly driving
on the beach and loose sand covered trails.
No boulder bashing or real rough or steep trails,
I know this truck would never handle that.
The trucks I've had in the past had part time 4WD
and I used to drive on the beach in 4LO.
With automatic, electronic 4WD and no low speed,
I'm not sure what it could handle.
Anyone have any opinions or experiences?

- Vinny ->
Should be fine as long as you air down your tires to about 15 psi. If it
still struggles, air down some more.
