She is going to need a lot of weepholes...

Actually looks like the water isn't over his tires. Just driving too fast and built up a big bow wave.

That's how they dealer trade now a days in Texas.

I saw other PU trucks floating (bed up) so I wonder if it's raptors weight that keeps it from floating. I'm sure that extra water in the motor block helps reduce buoyancy.

(Pretty sure that'll dry out if you park it in a barn/rail car full of rice)

Yeah, he looks like he’s at that awkward stage of exhaust submerged, and trying to keep moving out, and pushing that wave to literally an inch from his intake height.

Too deep! That truck is in water that is too deep. And it's not just the motor/intake that's at risk. The transmission, differential and rear axle all will likely have water in them. RTFM!

Yeah, this thing is totalled, water above the door speakers I'd imagine.

But at least he's high and dry right now, and didn't get eaten by an alley gator.

It will be fine. Mine did that too when I pulled my weep hole drain plug... water dissipates very quickly.
