  1. No. the tires weigh to much for any element to lift it.


  2. It depends on the ratio between the mass of the truck  and the buoyancy of the rubber and air in it

  3. Yes I saw it on some tv show once where a professional monster truck driver wanted to take a picture with his trucks back in the water and he couldn't do it. The truck would float.

  4. Yes, they do float. Was a popular photo shoot back in the heyday of monster trucks. They also move due to the tread acting as paddles/

  5. No. Modern day monster trucks use an open tubed frame chassis that is covered with a composite body shell. This structure is in no way waterproof.

    Though the large tires would provide some degree of buoyancy, they are still quite heavy. In all likelihood the truck would flip upside down and sink below the surface level of the water.
