On some vehicles, how much you can ford is only limited by how high the intake is.

Stock Pajeros can ford hood deep water should the need arise. As long as the driver is properly trained and the situation near ideal (standing water, no stopping while crossing). The intake gets air beside the headlamp. But should it go under, it will draw air from inside the hollow part of the front fender. Some 4x4's also have a similar set up. Though fording such deep water on a regular basis is not adviced.

The Fortuner has the ECU under the front seat. But water will not automatically enter the cabin even if you ford above the lower door line. Not unless you stop midway or accidentally open the door.
