Cool thread Pam!

24" doesn't quite get me to the bottom of the door so I would not have an issue with it. Not saying you should do it, I have got a few stuck in my day! And a couple washed away!

Once drove a motorhome (rented of course) through a fairly fast moving stream. It was not quite 2' deep but got deeper than shown in the pic. Got pretty interesting when water started pushing on the side and she started to go downstream. Like with most situations putting her to the floor got us across. At least we were smart enough to dump the trailer so the dirtbikes were not in any danger



Stumbled across some cool old pics from 10+ years ago finding the above. That's me in the front center LOL

I got my '11 stuck in a decent water/mud hole in the fall; up to the fender in the front and to the hubs in the rear. That ended up tearing up both of my rear axel seals, but I don't think it was from the water....the mud hole was a sort of silt sand that I think got in the brakes and behind the rotors; that is what I believe caused the issue with the seals. I don't think water along up to the hubs would cause an issue with the seals.

I'd probably be as brave with the truck as those Halliburton guys if it wasn't my name on the loan!!

Fast forward to 0:40 in this video and watch this *smart* Super Duty operator.
Not that it's a 2011...

Might want to open the video to the youtube page; it lags from the forums preview.

They can say he is not smart all they want but he made it no problem and that's all that really matters.
