The 2025 GX OT actually has an approach angle of 28 degrees since it's lifted 1" more than the 2024 model, which had 26 degrees.

Excellent comparison. No fluff. No hyperbole. As car reviews should be!

Since you own both of them, why not do a u-drag with them? Just for the sheer comedy of it. Lol

I will literally NEVER pay a subscription fee in order to use a piece of hardware that already exists on my vehicle. EVER.

Honestly my personal opinion you should’ve compared the trail hunter with the GX550, only big problem here is that the GX550 is nowhere near the price of the 4Runner dealerships are listing them for $80,000+ would rather just go for the trail hunter and still be happy
