Not sure how they figured the fording number but vent locations for the driveline components may be one of the factors. Someone needs to try and measure the height of the air inlet trapdoor to ground and see what that comes out to. If that is the overwhelming factor, common sense would then say max fording would be different on all of the different trim levels due to ride height.
Still, the biggest "flaw" I'm seriously concerned with is the ease at which water is able to enter the air box. You hydro lock it, kiss $8K goodbye. Water in connectors or sensors can be dealt with an relatively inexpensive compared to an engine. I'm no serious wheeler but the air filter sitting in the middle bottom of the box and extremely exposed, IS A MAJOR ISSUE for this vehicle. If you do wheel in water, you should take along at least one air filter (FA-2022) for a backup.
