Default [VIDEO]2021 GX460 Breaks bumpers! | approach & departure limits OFF-ROAD!

In this video we explore the approach/departure angle limits of a 2021 Lexus GX460 by going OFF ROAD and finding out how steep is 'too steep'? 2021 Lexus GX460 is in STOCK form, all-season tires. The 'big nose' of the new GX460 is tested in the real-world.

No big surprise ... the "Baleen Whale" Bumper-Grille is a lovely styling statement, but has absolutely no business off-road.

As much as I enjoyed watching the video, it really hurt to see the bumper bugle up

Man, this is so fascinatingly morbid. The slow mo footage, the funeral dirge music.
Its like a horror movie for GX lovers.

With that said, I am all in. I think I'm your 10th sub.

I realize the approach angle on a stock GX is not great, but given the height of the ditch in the video I think just about any stock off roader we would have suffered damage. Would be interesting to see, for example, a stock 4Runner and Wrangler attempt the same obstacle. Defender too.
