Mac pretty much summed it up, Higher gears are great for sand, as speed and momentum keep you flying on top rather than sinking in. Depending on the type of sand - from fine to course and from wet to dry - different speeds and gears may be used. Usually spinning the tires is needed since wheel speed is a factor to keep on top of the sand. Lowering air pressure and running wide tires help in the flotation department as well. Sand dunes can have steep drop-offs and other obstacles, so being alert is extremely important. If you're climbing a sand hill and realize you've run out of engine poop, downshift quickly, and floor it without losing momentum. This is where automatic transmissions excel - virtually instant downshifts with no loss of momentum. Shifting a manual truck usually means the momentum is gone before the clutch is ever let back out. Side hilling in the sand or running a bowl is great if you have enough speed and power, but turn downhill as soon as you start to bog down. Point you ride straight down, and if the nose starts to go sideways, give it a little gas to straighten it out.
