How Deep Can A Hilux Go?

don't no a lot about petrol donks,so just an opion.snorkel would help for sure,give give all electrics a good spray with wd40,hang a tarp from under bonet over bullbar then paddle with care.
regards toohey.

definately worth a diff breather extension into the engine bay too, otherwise theoretical safe height would be top of the front diff.

Dunno about newer hilux, but older ones air pick up was behind headlights.

Getting engine wet these days is frought with danger. All these new fangled cars have sensors and all sorts of crap just waiting to get wet so they can deteriorate over a year or so and then go kaput half way up the CSR, or similar.

Older hiluxes are like submarines. Years ago, when my younger son had his first hilux, he had arranged a fishing trip down to coast with a mate and my elder son who was due home from uni for the weekend. Well it started raining rain like Noah met. Fearing big bro would say it's too wet and call the whole trip off, he and his mate headed off in the afternoon in his mate's vehicle, leaving his hilux for big brother to come down in later. So well after dark in blinding rain, my elder son was heading to their camp site, unaway of a huge flooded waterway. The boys saw him coming, hit the creek, and go under so far they couldn't see any light from the headlights; elder boy thought he'd had it too, but the trusty hilux (it didn't have a snorkel) kept on plugging on, and much to everyone's surprise came on out of the water and on to the camp. It was called a fish after that swim.

It depends an awful lot on how you handle the vehicle.
