Default I think the 3ft wade depth isn’t a real limitation

I only floated when a big wave came well over the hood.

Oh yea. I actually drove past a few flooded SUVs. The disco stayed bone dry and cruised on along. It floated a couple times. Was pretty impressive.

I think most vehicles can go deeper when moving and creating a bow wave in front. I have driven my old 4Runner with water coming over the hood for a short duration. However I wouldn’t recommend to go deeper than the wade depth for a long time or get caught stuck at a level deeper than the spec.

Looks pretty rough in those streets though.
