Trailhawk Stuck in the Desert Sand

I was reading a "2014 Four Wheeler of the Year" article and came across these pictures. The article didn't mention how the Trailhawk got stuck. I didn't know the circumstances, or even that it was truly stuck until I downloaded the images and it said "Cherokee Stuck" and "Ram Rescues Cherokee".

Now, I never thought of the Trailhawk as a desert runner per say. But, I wonder if the ground clearance or the 4x4 system...or a combination or both....caused it to get stuck. I do believe the 4x4 system only engages when it is needed when not in 4 low. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Good thing for the tow hooks!

Thoughts?

If they did not lower the tire pressure in those conditions they were asking for trouble!
If they did not lower the tire pressure it will just dig itself down in that stuff. Lower tire pressure might have given them enough momentum to get out of trouble as well.
