For people in the Northeast US, the rain we have (like now) is usually the 'normal' from late-Winter to Summer. That makes local neighborhood flooding a thing that turns a 20 minute run across town into a 90 minute detour onto a gridlocked main road.

So, mid-thigh fording with no water intrusion is a WANT. I don't need a boat, but a watertight frunk and cabin seal would be AWESOME. My Jeep fords 3 and a half feet, no problem, but water gets in and it smells like ass until I can pull the carpet and leave it in the sun for a day.

For an example of what an older burb in DC-NoVA looks like after solid rain for 24 hours—this spot in the UK is a great example:




If you can't ford it, you then have to then take a main thoroughfare that everyone has to use, and it's a wall of traffic.
Amazing how ignorant many of those drivers are. #hydrolock

I have often thought about a "cyberzodiac" mode, wherein an onboard compressor is used to inflate rubber tubes that are in a hidden compartment in the wheel wells. These inflated tubes would add to the buoyancy of the truck like arm floaties. Then you put an outboard motor running on the 220v
