Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

In MY old truck, which I rarely got into the water because the water near where I live would have carried me away, the lowest electrical components in the cabin would have been on top of the center console. Well, if you exclude the courtesy lights in the doors.
And while I didn't get it in the water often, I knew plenty of people who did, we had a brand fan club.

Unfortunately my offroading days are long behind me, so I don't know what's the norm today.

Naw that's pretty standard today, too! I'm in a 2021 Toyota Tacoma, that thing is bomb proof, I could spray a firehose in the main cabin and the worse damage I would do is, IDK, maybe shorting out the cabin light?

Love ya, thanks for letting us know
