@Jennifer Lynn Lyon that's odd, as the smaller Suzuki was called the Samurai here, then became the Santana when they made them in spain. The Vitara was the 'bigger' brother. I bought one for my wife so she could go to her horses without wrecking my car on the unmade roads. It was quite capable in the snow and mud with it's low range and 4 wheel drive.
@@thecarman3902 Sprinters have the air intake low down behind the front bumper, you may as well by pass the air filter & pour water straight in the inlet manifold!
Any 2 ton 4x4 could do this, because the lorry is standing on solid ground, so there's no rolling resistance, and that is way different than being stuck in the mud. And looking at the leaf springs, there was no load in it, because the shape was rounded instead of flat. i had a nissan partol and pulled a truck with a trailer from a slighty muddy field, so it's not a big deal. Remember that video where a vw with a v10 pulled a passenger plane? That was not fake and no mods were done to the car.

I must say I love these Rufford Ford Flood video's. Amazes me that people attempt to drive through this water. I often wonder if British people watch our 11 foot 8 inch bridge videos? I believe the latest is raised but not enough. If you have not watched i would ask that you please have a look. Thankyou.
Unless your vehicle is equipped for wading you have to be brain dead to even think about going through that ford..the sign even says closed...unreal...
Yeah, if the depth scale says anywhere near 1ft deep you should definitely check where your intake sits first and then proceed carefully, if it's running 3ft deep you should almost certainly take another route.
@ritch Do you think they should physically barrier off the Ford like they barrier off sections in Scotland with the snow in winter ? That would save a lot of cars getting ruined. I really don't get it
Given the opportunity, I ask owners of 4x4s with snorkels "How long does it take to dry out the carpets?". None have ever given me an answer as it's obvious they have never drowned their truckster. A snorkel without a carpet delete is simply more off road warrior poser tinsel. Good to see them being used here...almost. I hope they have their axle, transfer case and transmission breathers raised along with a spare alternator at home.
Yes all the dunkings must be very good at forcing water into hot drive shaft and wheel bearings as they are cooled quickly not mention soggy wet floor covering rotting out body work. The results of water being sucked into the motor can wreck it completely.
Ooo. I bet that you're a lot of fun at parties. If drive shafts and wheel bearings are hot enough to be affected by sudden cooling, then there's a more serious problem and the vehicle should have been off the road long ago. It's easy to dry out floor coverings. Body work doesn't rot out these days. You're probably used to older British cars.
@@roadie3124 its more of a problem with drum brakes, its why they say wait an hour before reversing your boat trailer in to salt water. So the drums are cold.
@@roadie3124 No chance at all of me filling the inside of my car with water and drowning the computer under the front seat. Then have a car that stinks for months from the muddy water . Prevention is better than cure
Never miss judge a L322 Range Rover , it is the last real offroad worthy one they made , I use a L323 in Africa , my brother uses a L406 and my car is far more offroad worthy and its factory standard on Khumo tyres specced for the Grand Cherokee 265x50x20 , effectively an aggresive H/T tyre .
Driving into the water at high speed is not good. because the impact is very strong You have to drive slowly, maintain speed, turn off the air conditioner, turn off the fan, and drive through.
It's all very well having an engine snorkel on a 4x4, but what about extended breathers for the diff, transfer box and gearbox? A hot diff will suck water in through the breather when it hits the water (as it cools), leading to water getting into oily places it really shouldn't!
If thought the diff and the gearbox were sealed. If they had breather holes, oil would leak out. The fuel tank obviously needs to have breather hole. If it didn't, a vacuum would be created as the fuel is used up.
@@simontay4851 Diffs, transfer boxes and gearboxes all have breathers. They’re to stop pressure building up inside when the oil gets hot. Usually a plastic pipe that terminates at a point in the engine bay, or for the rear diff somewhere as high as possible underneath. Off-roaders extend the breathers so that can,t become submerged when wading in water. Even taking them as high as the top of a snorkel. When a hot diff hits water it cools quickly causing air to be sucked back in through the breather, even on a LR Defender the rear diff breather pipe is only short and terminates perhaps 600mm above ground level at best.
The first Suzuki through has diff breathers around bonnet height. They are built to do this stuff if driven properly. Getting close to the limits on a bog standard vitara, though that one looked lifted by 2"
Whilst at first sight this all seems harmless fun there is potentially a very dangerous situation here. If that tow rope had snapped the whiplash could have decapitated someone on the bridge at worst, or if it had wound round their leg they could have ended up with the leg being amputated. In a maritime environment this is known as the "snap-back zone" and people are very wary of it. So an amateur in a Range Rover towing a truck that size represents a potentially very serious hazard to those nearby bystanders. If you let your kids stand in the snap-back zone when these people are at play, remember you could end up bitterly regretting it. You have no idea of the condition of the rope or the integrity of the clasps at each end.
I watch your videos to see vehicles failing, not to watch some bellend in a 4x4 with snorkel driving through the water over and over. More fails, less snorkels! :)

The Toyota Van did extremely well. I thought he's gonna lose it and drown the engine. Pretty impressive driving there!
As for the big truck:
xD
@@user-pc4hv3zx1x I think the trick is in fact to float on the water and only accelerate when you almost passed it

They are selflessly keeping us entertained.

Government loves stupid people
Nice
I think that Vitara with the snorkel kept going through for the sole purpose of mocking the others.
The Barratts driver though. LOL!
What was that Barratts driver thinking... Slow down you'd of made it through
I know and if it was auto not putting it in manual as when it slowed the box would change Down
I didn't understand why they towed him out in reverse. He now has to go back through it, if it starts or if it is recovered.

I’m surprised the Rover didn’t break down.
We had to purchase a live in mechanic for ours.
🤣😂
Yes, I used to have a 2015 Range Rover. Had a mechanic & tow truck on call 24/7. Biggest pile of snot I've ever owned.
Been a very reliable car this.
Its used for towing everyday but it's a V8 petrol not a diesel.

A smooth transition from truck to boat
almost as smooth as the driver's brain lol
2:57 forward - bet he had an interesting discussion with his boss if the engine in the truck is destroyed by water intake!
would of made it it if he went dead slow but the boss would sack him for that
Awesome advert for the pulling power of the Range Rover, just pulled the truck straight out!
I was thinking about that too!
It's pulled bigger than that too with ease.

There’s a bridge not far away. Fords are fine in dry weather but after heavy rain we get entertained.

Hi vis jackets, the chosen attire of the discerning Land Rover owner
Top trolling by the vitara
Well done to the Toyota van .. oh I mean Peugeot Citroen van 💪
Great advert for Barratts, not only did he get owned by the ford, he also got to be dragged out by his ass. 🤣🤣🤣
air breather or not, at 3', my concern would be water entering thru the doors frames. make for some smelly interiors
Been there done that unfortunately

Haha can't believe the wagon got stuck. Would of been ok if he had if done it slower 🤪
- it's only what's known as a "puddle jumper" - HGV's tend to have air intakes in line with the top of the cab.
Would HAVE been ok...
The little Suzuki feels right at home.
One born every minute! Glad its closed now.
Why oh why has nobody thought of using a canoe to get across ??? great and simple idea in my mind😊😊
