2024 Landcruiser break-over angle

[G0ebs]

I recently got back from Elk Camp in Eastern Washington and on the way in, I am fairly certain I exceeded the break-over angle of 25 degree (per the owners manual) a number of times on this trip, probably exceeding 30 degrees on two sections. I thought I was a decent off-road driver, but this trip pushed my limits. I was probably more scared of trashing my new LC than the trails. What is the actually tipping point for the LC, I am sure there a number of factors to include like cargo, weight roof rack, etc.

Thoughts? And thanks in advance. (I was on Homestead Trail in and road 19 out near Cle Elum, WA).

If you exceeded the break over angle you should have scraped the body trim or bumper. If you are referring to side-to-side (i.e. 'tipping point'), there is not a published number for that, nor do any of us want to find it. In that case, what is more important than racks etc. is static vs dynamic rollover; the LC will almost surely not ever roll over in a static condition, e.g. not moving. You would first exceed the dynamic rollover conditions when off-roading, and that number is less than the static number (and variable with driving conditions).

Thanks for the clarification!

Better version. I wanted to make sure it was saying 0.7m river crossing depth.

This is super interesting information. Although I have no idea how these metrics compare to other 4WD vehicles. How is 23" water crossing? Is that strong or average? How can we increase that number? Tires and lift?
