Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

Not even close, really. The top edge of the bumper/front edge of the hood is roughly 4 feet off the ground, for reference.

You’ll notice in the photos the front driver side corner is *close to under water. Wade mode is specified for 3”. Also the truck might be floating a bit.

*edit, I ran the video. It’s not quite under. Still deeper than the 32” depth. That said they probably smashed the under carriage romping over the rocks like it was a EOHV racing truck or something. (Dumbasses believed the incel marketing.)
