    Just spent 5 days on K'gari (Fraser Island) and Inskip Point testing our BYD Shark 6 in deep soft beach sand!

    Fraser Island (K’gari) & Rainbow Beach Sand Driving Report in Our BYD Shark 6 DMO Ute!

    Sand Driving Tips for Shark 6 Owners:

    1. Drop all four tyres to 16–18 PSI cold before hitting Inskip Point.
    2. Select Sand Mode on the terrain dial AND set HEV + Forced 60% SOC Hold in the Energy Manager.
    3. The instant dual-motor electric torque floats over soft dry sand cuttings around Indian Head without ever bogging down or waiting for a turbocharger to spool!

      Instant electric torque with zero gearshifts in soft dry beach sand at Inskip Point is a massive advantage—most utes get bogged when an auto box shifts down mid-cutting!
