Why, if the truck is equipped with a snorkel, they can operate for long periods underwater! Make the jump to watch a hoon of the highest grade tackle a river in what looks to be a surplus military truck, complete with full snorkel equipment. Bonus points for IDing the truck.
Our last Showdown was a knife fight between two American-engined bruisers, with the LS1-swapped E30 giving the GT500 the coup de grâce. Today’s Showdown is a transatlantic battle between two completely different ways of thinking – a bantamweight Englishman versus a classic American heavyweight.
