Also to anybody who is wondering whose hand it was to take the sword into the lake, it was the person who informed merlin of the fact that he threw it into the lake and when he went to retrieve the sword for the immortal army.

It's Freya's hand. The reasoning goes that they couldn't find a woman diver, so that's why it is a man's hand.

The truck just means that Merlin is immortal, and is still waiting for Arthur in the present day. Magic has been left to myth and legend.
