@@Peter-nj5mv in terms of keeping the engine safe, I think you'd still hydrolock it, although you might prevent damage as it wouldn't be turning over while full of water. When an engine is hydrolocked you can't usually turn it over, so you'd probably still have to do the usual process of a few oil drains/flushes and draining the water out.

Man look how deep it is at 4:01, I’ve seen some some of these videos from this Ford where you can see the majority of the yellow depth markers, and even then cars break down. No chance in hell would I drive through at that depth 😂
They have the intake on the side just for that reason. If the water gets to be above the hood, it sheds off the hood leaving a deeper wake where the intake resides. It is important for the driver to initiate and maintain a constant bow wave if the water is above half a meter.
They are designed to Wade through water, the latest Discoveries and Defenders can Wade in depths up too 900mm and have sensors that show the depth of the water.
