Looks like they should be able to do about 500mm as standard?

You've made me go youtubing for offroad videos.
Seen people on a forum talking about letting the water in if you are over a certain depth to stop it floating

I don't think any of them are amazing in terms of wading as standard.

900mm is pretty impressive in a 100k limo.

Exactly. I think it was the point he didn't know 100% what was beneath the water and how deep it was.
