    Yesterday I was driving behind a gen 3 (I assume 2022) for a long time ...
    and could see couple of shocks(?) hanging low near the rear tires.
    Also what looked to me like a big box (skid plate? in front & center) hanging kind of low or seemed to be hanging much lower than gen 2.5

    Is that my imagination or is the ground clearance lower than older models?

    Not in the market for gen 3 but collecting data just in case :D

    Gen 3 has less ground clearance on paper, so no surprise it does on visual inspection too.

    It’s got plenty of ground clearance, still taller than all the curbs at the mall.

    Some of those curbs are 6” tall! That’s why I am getting mine lifted ;)
