GX vs X5 Hill Climb
Tires? Ground clearance? Finding the right path groove... Or the GX just dominates
Tires would be a major factor here.

I think momentum and tires were the key.
I've been watching some of the videos from Russians and man those are crazy, wow!

The ground clearance of the GX helps, but I think it's mostly the tires.. The BMW looks to be running the staggered 20" tires, I think they're 275/20 fronts and 315/20 rears, they could even be performance tires . The GX on the 265/18's is definitely going to get through the mud better.

Doesn't look like X5 was bottoming out or hitting the dirt. Looks like technique got the GX through it.
That said, the higher ride height and taller tire on the GX allowed the driver to be more aggressive with momentum there.
Both vehicles could benefit from better tires and locking diffs.

He does have some aftermarket mods but good video nonetheless.... IMO.
