"The way they say that they measure CG is highly error prone at the angles of lift that they are likely achieving, especially since they probably aren't inflating the tires extraordinarily high as well as not using solid struts instead of the springs/dampers. The more common way to use the method C&D describes is to roll the car, but the key to using either method somewhat accurately is to take the car nearly vertical or nearly on it side if using the horizontal method.
Toyota being a large OEM likely has a device that is made to measure CG or takes the vehicles to a facility like SEA Limited. https://sealimited.com/capability/center-of-gravity-and-inertia
So I would still trust Toyota over Car and Driver until we see some much more credible info."
