[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 359134, member: 62"] I really should just leave this alone, but... type, you say you're new to off roading. You say you didn't realize water could be a hazard. You say things like "engulfed in water... earlier in the day". You point at promo vids for justification. You suggest there are design flaws with the truck, and that Ford has misled you. You talk about being in no more than 6" of water, "for sure"... How are you sure you were in no more than 6" of water? Did you get out, scout the area and measure depths before entering the water? What experience or expertise to you have that makes you qualified to assess what you were doing, compared to those videos? What training do you have that says you can engineer a better baffle system than what Ford has come up with for the 6.2? I don't say these things to be mean. I ask them sincerely. By your own admission you're a newbie to all this. How can a newbie assess anything about this situation fairly? Seems to me you got in over your head (no pun intended) and are looking for anyone else to blame but yourself. I think you need to slow down a little bit, consider the chance that there is no design flaw and allow for the possibility that you exceeded not only your abilities but also the design limits of the truck. Only then can you fairly learn from this experience, and therefore make darn sure not to repeat it in the future. [/QUOTE]
