Well, yeah,.. but... a 4WD which one would think a real truck has, as opposed to AWD would lock both the front and rear driveshafts IF 4WD was engaged. That still leaves the option for open differentials to lose traction on a front wheel, but done properly it's pretty hard to dunk a 4WD.

Note: I said : "Done properly". If you're not paying attention it's easy to ruin a soup sandwich.

Neither would make rear wheel drag In I would assume in Park
 
He parked at the correct position , rear wheels in water at green slime line... he got out at that point to unhook boat when it rolled down.. front wheels were useless, front door was shown open on recovery... cellie...

No, he probably has the parking brake on. Otherwise a wheel would be turning either forward or backward. I was only observing that unless it was a full time 4WD T-case like a 203 that has a differential it's harder to drown a 4WD.

I'm going to guess the truck was a 2WD or he failed to utilize 4WD and got into the slime. Even at that, unless front wheel traction failed the service brakes should have held it. I'm also going to guess the operator was standing outside watching the manufacturer switch from General Motor to General Dynamics.

Its easy too drown any 4WD If you dont know what your doing My point of bringing up the real wheel being locked as it seemed to be the focus of the end of the VID Almost like the owner knew he was in park but the truck still went for a swim
