2025 Overtrail Measured GC and angles (1 Viewer)

[Wayne]

I measured the actual clearance on stock 2025 OT with 35 psi in tires and nobody inside. 6.5" from rear shock mount. 9.5" from differential. 9.5" from skid plate. 9" to front suspension mounts. 12.5" at middle of the car.

I measured approach and departure angles with a metal rod and bar and inclinometer as shown in the photos. The approach angle is 28 degrees and the departure angle is 26 degrees.

The break-over angle is 13 degrees ( calculated as arcsine(12.5/56) which is ground clearance halfway between axles divided by half the distance between axles) I don't know what the standard way to do these measurements is.

It would be interesting to compare these to a 2024 OT.

I think it should be arctan. And it's defined as 2x of that angle (see Breakover angle - Wikipedia)

So, based on your measurements:

Breakover Angle = 2 x arctan [ground clearance / (0.5 x wheelbase)] = 25.2º. This is pretty close to the published breakover angle of 26º.

Thanks for the correction.
