    What units?

    Ground clearance is measured from the ground to the lowest point of the vehicle (under the differential on trucks and suv's, usually the bumper or sills on regular cars (mudflaps not included)

    Sa pickups I think its the Ford Ranger (ground to diff) pero mas mataas pa din ata side sill ng Hilux that's why it looks taller.

    No. At that level of flooding, either water has started to enter the car's interior or the cat body would have started to float in the water. Either way, knee high flood waters will have consequences on the car's mechanicals and electronics later.

    What do you mean by withstand?

    Most cars breathe air from headlamp level and the engine will survive the ocassional dip. I've forded water to the headlamps in my old Benz with no problems.

    As to water entering the cabin, that's another thing. Water may seep into the cabin but most of the time you will make it across the water crossing.

    If you want to make it through unscathed, a sedan isn't the right tool for the job. Better get a Suzuki Jimny or something.
