What is the wading depth of a pickup truck?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth of a pickup truck can reach around 700mm. Definition of maximum wading depth: The maximum wading depth refers to the distance between the tire contact point and the engine air intake, known as Wattiefe in English. The maximum wading depth is the greatest depth a vehicle can safely pass through under safe driving conditions, also referred to as the safe depth. It is an important indicator for evaluating a vehicle's off-road capability. The greater the maximum wading depth, the stronger the vehicle's water-crossing ability. Methods to determine wading depth: When the water depth is one-third of the tire height, you can pass through with confidence. As long as you operate correctly, it will not cause unnecessary damage. When the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, caution is needed, as this situation can easily lead to water entering the vehicle. If the wading depth exceeds the bumper, you should remain highly vigilant while driving to avoid water entering the engine.
