After the deluge last week, I drove my 2023 Platinum, F-150 EV (14K mi on tires) to town and encountered some water on the road. Not fast (55 mph) nor deep (2 inches) water running across at an angle. Quite surprised to experience momentary hydroplaning with no loss of control, but a jolt when over.. Would have thunk that a heavy vehicle with AWD would plow through it better. Don't think my 2004 Tundra would have done the same.

Weight has nothing to do with hydroplaning. Only Speed, tire pressure, tire condition and road conditions.
