They were foolish, the Scania's intake should have been high enough if they went in slowly but instead they made a huge wave and the intake sucked a bunch up.
Someone has blocked the stream lower down, I'm sure of it. There is constantly more water in that ford than there ever was. Even after days and says without rain there is still 12 inches of water in it. This hasn't been the case for 20+ years. I wouldn't be surprised if its someone that films there regularly.
Pretty sure that they had to have it dredged at some point, which resulted in people just speeding through and making bigger splashes when they realized they were less likely to kill their car.
It was weeds down stream collecting debris causing it to back up. Was never block but us. I have a video of the farmer dredging it and pulling it all out.

I owned a house in Tuxford and loved coming to Newark to try and drown my Isuzu every time there had been a heavy down fall of rain. My 2.8 turbo diesel never go hydrolocked, however hard I tried - pure luck I think. I used a 1992 Peugeot 2L Diesel van though, only once and bent not only two conrods but the crankshaft as well. $2000 later (a lot in 1992), I wasn't happy. It was only 18 months old and was still under warranty but they refused to cover it due to my obvious mis-use of the vehicle - fair enough I suppose 😀
@@kirknelson156 it's not needed here. There is a main road you can take if you want to use a bridge. Lots of people use this route as a shortcut however...
As soon as I saw the Scania I knew it was doomed. Scania are the only truck manufacturers who put the air intake behind the drivers side headlight\bumper, everyone else sensibly puts it up the back of the can about 12 feet up.
The biggest mistake of almost driver I saw here is the speed, they go very fast and they hit with the front of cabin the water, so they damage the engine.
The engine is fine, they're located just behind the cab in the chassis. The air intake is higher up as well, on my MAN TGX, it's like 7ft up. The problem is that there's electrics and other things lower down that you can break. For example, there's a small pipe on the drivers side by the exhaust box. Damage that, the engine will stop running. As long as you aren't silly, there's no reason a truck (or a bus as they're rear engine) ought to have problems.
Something different and almost interesting for capture. Of course Unimog gets better in flooding such as another truck. Nice landscape around this spot.
No suprises here with that Scamia. The only good thing about Scanny... Is getting rid of it. I now have a 2 y.o. MAN TGS Lorry... Trouble Free... wheras the Scammy it was just trouble to say it nicely. Great vid!
Did that May Park truck 4:44 have electrical assist motors on the trailer? As it sounded like the motor noise they have on some of the modern electric trains.
With an high air take I dont see any problem crossing this road with a truck. I Just dont understand why they dont slow down. Might be most of them are just following Google Maps and dont expect the water to be so high
The Unimog has the engine up high in the bonnet/hood where as the majority of these trucks are forward control do the engine is down low between the front wheels. Very easy to flood it therefore
@@paulrutland2640 Interesting, I've only ever heard forward control used for the Land Rover Forward Control model. I believe these are more commonly referred to as COE's Cab Over Engine. The placement of the engine is largely irrelevant, you can completely submerge one, it's the air intake that matters and most of these are high up at the back of the cab.
Most of the water isn't hitting the windscreen? Besides, the glass windscreen is the strongest part on the front of that vehicle. The plastic grille would probably be first to break.
@@petittrainguernsey3297 here is the thing right, I've found this Ford on Google Maps, there's other routes why do people just risk it and wreck their cars? Laziness? It's faster? Cause there's no way these people are locals that go through and flood their cars... I just find it baffling..
What the hell are these drivers doing? In Australia you learn to pass the water as slow as you are able to to reduce the bow wave in front of your car.
probably about 2 to 3 minutes, but Google Maps always used to tell drivers to go this way. We almost went this way once when going to Rufford Abbey, but turned around and went the longer way after seeing the splash pool and didn't want to ruin the engine in our car.

@TheSpotify95 it was never that full unless there had been heavy rain. Someone blocked it up so it had more water in, more of the time.
It was weeds down stream collecting debris causing it to back up. Was never block but us. I have a video of the farmer dredging it and pulling it all out.

It's about €10000 to replace an engine.
@@lovetotruck78 10k? That's for a car engine
Those Unimog's make a lot of sense in that street!
Wow, new to the ford thing but never saw the water so high as in the beginning of the video. Nice!
I can see now why Australia has those lifted air cleaners on their Kenworth Prime movers. Water does indeed get everywhere even with low tides.
The white truck splash at the start was crazy!!!
Love the night/evening shots, can you do some of them in the autumn?
I did loads last year and I’ll do the same again this year:)
Have you ever wondered that this remind ourself as a kids often watching vehicle passingby tireless especially when flooding around neighborhood

Cool that was fun more rain means more action keep it up
With so little rain this summer I wouldn’t mind betting this ford became little more than a trickle. Does it ever dry up completely?
I mean theres a bloddy stream goin thru it, so I dont think so
Another good video 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes finally been waiting for this for ages!!!
Buen compilado de camiones 🚛🚚

1 car TRIED to sneak in there, but you caught it !
Standing on that bridge by the side of the ford looks so tempting
Oh no ..... poor Scania ☹️
Free underbody cleaning.
With massive repair bills !!!

Learning by doing
Sad to see those trucks getting beat by tools
To be honest, trucks are very easy to cross this ford even unprepared except for the Unimog, which is already an off-road truck.
The Unimog has the engine up high in the bonnet/hood where as the majority of these trucks are forward control do the engine is down low between the front wheels. Very easy to flood it therefore
@@paulrutland2640 But throughout the video, at no time has any truck been seen to break down. You can pass? Possibly.
@@paulrutland2640 Interesting, I've only ever heard forward control used for the Land Rover Forward Control model. I believe these are more commonly referred to as COE's Cab Over Engine.
The placement of the engine is largely irrelevant, you can completely submerge one, it's the air intake that matters and most of these are high up at the back of the cab.
Love it always brings me a smile 😃
Hydro locking the engine cost so much. Easy fix but costs a lot.

Most of the water isn't hitting the windscreen? Besides, the glass windscreen is the strongest part on the front of that vehicle. The plastic grille would probably be first to break.

What the hell are these drivers doing? In Australia you learn to pass the water as slow as you are able to to reduce the bow wave in front of your car.
Very cool! 😎👍🏾😆
Why did the bin lorry seem to breakdown when the water wasn’t very high compared to others going through much deeper water?
It depends on the airtake. Most of the lorries have an airtake over the roof of the cabin, but some of them not. This makes the difference.
Kinda surprised i saw a dennis lorry drive through it
I don't think the Bosses would approve of them driving through there. Let's hope they don't want UA-cam 🤣
It’s crazy that some truck are so weak and others strong 🤯
I mean some of these flatbeds have the air intake installed on the side of the chassis so water is definitely going to be sucked up in the engine

probably about 2 to 3 minutes, but Google Maps always used to tell drivers to go this way.
We almost went this way once when going to Rufford Abbey, but turned around and went the longer way after seeing the splash pool and didn't want to ruin the engine in our car.
