Would the fact that you are running 65/70/16 might have something to do with it as well? My 2010 Triton factory tyres were 245/65/17 - you are looking at a difference of 4% diameter and 15...

A well-mounted snorkel is a lot cheaper than a new engine (and i wouldn't be driving up braided rivers without one) My Triton is only a year newer, on 245/65/17 ATs and handles it well!

Choose where you going to drive over and walk it first.If there been no rain or snow melt for 3 days,you should be fine.Its only 22 ks long,it drains out and fills up pretty quick.

So long as the river levels are low, you should have no problems. But if its been NW or coming on to NW then be very wary, it has claimed plenty of vehicles. Low and clear, easy drive.
