Video: Putting the "Ford" in The Blue Oval's new Ranger pickup

Fording with the Ford Ranger – Click above to watch video after the jump
If you're a Ranger fan, the video posted after the jump is going to make you sad. Ford engineers in Australia filmed the new but not-for-U.S.-consumption truck as its water wading capabilities were put to the test. The results were heaps good.
Ford's new Ranger is available in a Hi-Rider version that's capable of, ahem, fording through an impressive amount of water. Starting at a depth of two-inches, the engineers kept pushing until they were driving through 31.5 inches of engine-killing fluid. The two-inch deep pool is used to simulate long puddles, and the truck is run through at 19, 31 and 40 miles per hour. When filled to the max, the test area is traversed at a much slower 4 mph.
In order to achieve these results, Ford raised the air intake and alternator to a spot where they stay above the water line. Crucial components that sit lower are water-proofed. Click past the jump to see the testing in action, and be sure to read more about the Ranger in the full press release.

Astig! Even before Ford Rangers were so good in attacking floods tapos sila lang gumagamit ng water proofed components specifically yung ECU. Kaya Rangers and Everest still runned even after the Ondoy mess... Of course their interiors needed repairs...
