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

What a I really want to happen, is for the day he is released from jail, for the warden, or whomever, to ask in a very condesending tone:

"Now....what did you learn?"

And if he can't answer, he stays in jail.

    To be fair, this was less than the wading depth advertised in the owner's manual.

    The owner had reason to believe the vehicle could do what he was trying to do.

    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.)
