Why would you even consider that vehicle for off roading? All the videos show is how incapable it is.
Cause it's a whole lot of fun! My van Grumpy has impressed many with where it has been able to go. The first vid shows it going up a rock ledge that nobody though it would make and you can hear it ********** the trans cross member as it high centered. Most any stock 4x4 would have done the same. Picking a slightly more rock filled line allowed the van to just scrape bottom and get up. I ran around with the Jeeps all day and only ran into clearance issues.
Grumpy has run coast to coast, spent time on the trails near Moab, UT, spent several days running around local off road parks and taken me on abandoned sections of Route 66. The van has more interior space than a Suburban and will do over 20 mpg highway.
Without any mods the van can probably run about 75% of what people consider off road, with mods I can see maybe 95%. After Grumpy's mods are done I plan on running the Rubicon Trail with it....and it will make it, I think.
So what about these videos show a lack of off road ability? All three show the vans clearly being able to handle what was thrown at them. Well maybe aside from the second one where the guy spins it around and lays it on it's side, but they got it upright and it just kept on going.
