He even put the truck in park but went down the ramp? I never leave my truck alone on a ramp, ever?

Vehicles like that tend to be sold with a salvage title to a used car dealer via a wholesale lot and get repaired and sold as a low mileage used truck. Why I always do a background check when I buy a used, late model vehicle.
Lots of late model vehicles get submerged, most in flooded underpasses during rain storms.
That Delco battery had guts for sure....lol

Sad what some will do when they realize they should have bought a Ford or Dodge!

I noticed the rear wheels weren't turning. I'd sure be interested in knowing what happened to cause the truck to slide into the water.

Total speculation but a lot of the concrete ramps I have been on have very slick algae on them, wouldn't take much to get a truck moving and once moving no stopping it. I am more curious why he would have been backed into the water without a trailer in the first place.

It did have a trailer. You can see the hitch when the guy is opening the door.

Absolutely right! I was watching it on the mobile app and could only see the left part of the screen as I did not scroll over

The hood looks crunched. I think there's more to the story.

I was just waiting for a "real people, not actors" message to pop up (as opposed to fake people?), and then some bearded guy to tell us the truck is now a paper weight, but at least it isn't made out of aluminum...

It will be at some point in the near future... Government Motors is behind the curve on that.
Did I type Government Motors? How soon we forget.
