It isn't unusual for small trucks to float. That was one of the advantages of the small S10 sized 2wd with a 4 cyl. Light enough that it floated if you fell through the ice, thus giving you a chance to get to safety. When driving on 2-3 inches of ice this was important. (I personally refuse to walk on less than 4 inches of ice, and need 12 to drive on)
