Saw this thread on flash flooding:

Then, this week, saw the following segment on the Today show:

Question is, what Tacoma would be safer in a flash flood, the base ones with manual windows and door locks, or the upgraded models with power windows and power door locks?

I would think the power windows / power locks would short out in the water, and not operate, trapping the occupants.

Any opinions?

 

@JB700 now we know why your leaf springs squeaked!

 

Doors shouldn't matter right? I mean you can manually unlock a powered door without power. Just flip the button by the handle right?

But windows sure. It's why I have a glass breaker in my truck.

 

Put that in the door pocket or center console @EdinCincinnati if you are in an accident that thing will be a major projectile

 

The safest Tacoma is the one driven by someone who is not foolish enough to drive into floodwaters. Manual windows would probably be the better option, but so long as you have a tool to break glass, should be ok.

 

Those spots were already full of stuff
