Impressive, yes (great video), but it obviously wasn't a factory-standard LC. You could see that both it and the vehicle behind it had a snorkel-assembly on it them allowed the engines to breathe underwater. My guess is that it also some special waterproofing done to the electrical systems.
That was also a river with a very slow current. Many people are swept away in floods/heavy rains every year, or need to be rescued, when they try and drive across water that is too deep and/or fast-flowing for their vehicle. I did an entire thread on that subject not long ago.
