A 4x4 inflated to 2.5 bar on soft sand bogs down within 20 metres. The same vehicle at 1.2 bar crosses an entire erg effortlessly. Tire pressure isn't a detail — it's THE variable that decides whether your off-road crossing succeeds or fails. This guide covers everything you need to know: the manufacturer on-road pressures for our 5 fleet vehicles (Suzuki Jimny, Toyota Hilux, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Jeep Wrangler, Ford Ranger Raptor), the recommended off-road settings for each terrain type found in Morocco, the correct technique for deflating and reinflating, and the most costly mistakes [...]

Every poorly measured burst of acceleration, every line chosen too hastily, every transmission mode engaged at the wrong moment leaves a mark [...]

Indeed, the paved roads stop quickly at the edge of the desert, giving way to sandy tracks that are sometimes hard to access. Whether it's to reach the great dunes, discover isolated places, or [...]
