TL1947

I just bought a 2012 TL SH-AWD base. Loving it so far. I have however noticed that when driving out of parking lots and driveways, the bottom front sometimes scrapes the ground when the drop-off is fairly steep. I never had this problem with my 2002 TL. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, is it cause for concern, and should I do anything about it? Thanks and much appreciation for any insight you can provide.

Negative.

ever wonder that its because it is not a 2002 tl?

lol angle your car next time slightly, you will like it.

Yes, the front end is low. As noted, angles help AND so does a slower speed.

Add in the aero kit and you have to be even more carerful!

is your tire pressure ok? you have TPMS, but just check to make sure its good anyway. if i scrape out of my drieway, i know i'm a 1-2 psi low in my 3G TL.

The 'nose' in front of the front wheels has definitely been pushed a bit further out and lower (aerodynamic chin spoiler) over the years in the TL's. You get used to it.

Wife was constantly scraping the drive at work. I told her to use another driveway/entrance.
Now if I could only get her to watch the fucking curb when she parks those 19"wheels next to it, I wouldn't need silver touch-up paint.

if you have nothing constructive to say, dont say anything at all..

I was on the way to grandma's house, when all of a sudden I came to a steep embankment. Is it steep? only one way to find out. I carefully drove through it. to my surprise, I cleared that steep piece of land.
