What the figures mean
Ground clearance is the distance from the ground to the lowest point under the vehicle. It is the figure to check for deep snow, rutted gravel roads and steep driveway lips.
Approach and departure angles are the steepest slopes the front and rear can meet without the bumper touching. On paper the two grades differ by one degree at the front, while toyota.com lists the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism and Multi-Terrain Select on the Land Cruiser grade only.
Load, tire wear and accessories can change the clearance of a real vehicle. The figures here are toyota.com's listed specifications.
