Why are you so hung up about needing to see a video? Do you honestly believe that the Motor Trend video showing Ford testing the Explorer in Dubai you linked was done as a single shot? How many times do you think the got stuck starting/stopping while they were there? How much footage was cut out to make that 4min video clip? You even said it, all cars can get stuck. Dodge isn't marketing the D as a full bred 4x4, even with the Hemi & selectable drive it is still limited by it's approach/depart angles and ground clearance, If you're this concerned about there being no videos of a D running through sand dunes driven by a professional driver, then maybe the D isn't the SUV for you.
I need see video to know the Performance and all information. Dodge web site just talk about it but didn’t give any video to see how it work or what u do in case of. That’s I need to see it.

Just because a vehicle has a low range doesn’t mean it was put there for off road use. Just ask anyone who has pulled a 5K lb boat out of the water up a steep, wet ramp. Yes, the D can do this without low range, but using low range offers more control and less stress and heat buildup in the trans.

THE ULTI-MOD
the new D really wasnt meant as an off-road vehicle, and there are not going to be any professional driver videos of it off-road for the reasons stated above, chrysler would be creating competition with the jeep grand cherokee if they did that. If you want off-road capability get a jeep grand cherokee.

Can't you see how the font changes in his posts from cut and pastes from elsewhere?
Of course this is a joke. The Explorer is a CAR frame. Neither are designed for off road, as stated that is the Jeep territory.

U doesn’t understand me. I need to know what Durango can do in off road.
---------------
The grand have 5 passenger and D have 7 passengers
I understand from your words the FORD EXPLORER IS THE BEST because:
*The ford explorer beats Grand Cherokee in the number of seats (7 passengers >> this’s what I want.)
*The ford explorer bests Durango in multi uses (Bec there is no evidence to D)
??!
??!

the explorer is a jacked up FWD taurus. end of discussion. the D3 is the only RWD three row SUV south of the full sized GM/Ford/MB, etc. and btw it blows those vehicles away for mpgs and styling (imo) and that's me coming from a '10 Yukon Denali...bye bye now.
