I don't know since I don't have any of these other vehicles. Since you do, I vote for you to see if your Cayenne can do this and report back (if you make it back).

Sounds like it has a turbo diesel engine.

old video.
and some wonder whether angle is skewed by cameraman to make it look steeper than it actually is.

Not that I'd ever try it, but would that be possibly with the 4.6L we get in the states?

Being geared the same (auto with a 3.9 final ratio) and using crawl control (using the low range and locking the center diff) the more powerful GX should be able to do the same. You can see crawl control was used in this video. Have you guys ever used the low range? I have the crawl control and all can say is, it makes the GX fell like a TANK or a TRACTOR!
