Departure angle

What is a departure angle?

A departure angle is the maximum angle at which a vehicle can descend without the rear bumper or undercarriage touching the ground.

A better departure angle is great for off-roading because it helps navigate steep descents and obstacles without obstruction.

Departure angle, alongside approach angle, go hand-in-hand with ground clearance to gauge off-road capability.
