What pressure do you run?
Got track-loc?
Use 4-Low?
We ran Assateaque years ago, F150, 33-12.5 BFG AT, with a camper, so pretty equal to an Ex as far as weight. Did great. Beautiful place, but it turns out it's very much like the beaches here. Except the beach runs north-south instead of east-west

Those Nittos are your problem...
With the BFG A/Ts I have on my truck I NEVER have to air down or anything! They just plow right through the sand and get me where I need to go...
Nitto Terra Grapplers are mostly an on road tire that doesn't offer much traction elsewhere. Looking at the tread for BFGs and Nittos, it was a no brainer...
If you have enough tread discount tire should take them off your hands...

Not sure how the sand is in your area - but it really varies in the Outer Banks. From packed and smooth to extremely loose and soft. Our trucks are heavy - but the right tire and air pressure will still allow you to drive in it. The Nitto's should do fine but the tread blocks are relatively close together compared to other brands/models. We do have a lot of trucks in the area running them and they do beach driving. How many miles on the tires? How much tread left? Are you putting it in 4x4 before you go onto the beach? Are you sure the front hubs are locking?

if you are in dry sand then breaking a wheel loose is the worst thing you can do... 4 low will help as you get lots of torque without lots of speed to the wheels
