The 300 leaves the factory with a payload of around 650 kg. Add a bar, drawers, a fridge and a family and there's not much left. A GVM upgrade more than doubles it.
Prices are Touring Solutions Australia's published kit pricing, including GST, freight extra. Your final fitted price is confirmed on your quote.
Good to know before you book
Factory wheels won't do
The factory 300 Series wheel has no documented load rating, so every GVM package needs load-rated wheels and tyres rated to at least 1,285 kg each. Tyre size is 285/65R18.
We'll quote a wheel and tyre package with the upgrade so it's all done in one visit.
Tow 4,000 kg
Touring Solutions Australia also offers a 4,000 kg braked towing upgrade for the 300, from $5,000. It needs a TSA 4.2T GVM upgrade and a Curt Rebellion XD hitch with a 70 mm ball, or a DO45. It can be done pre or post rego in Queensland.
We'd also suggest an extra transmission cooler, a brake controller and a transmission temperature monitor for heavy towing.
Buying new? Talk to us before the vehicle is registered. A pre-rego upgrade usually keeps more of your towing capacity than doing it later.
How a GVM upgrade works with us
One workshop handles the whole job: the kit, the wheels and tyres it needs, the fit and the paperwork.
1
Plan the build
We look at how you load and use the vehicle: people, fuel, water, drawers, canopy, roof gear and towball weight. If you're not sure where you sit, pop in or give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
2
Pick the package
We match the kit to the job and quote the load-rated wheels and tyres it needs at the same time, so there are no surprises.
3
Fit and certify
Fitted in our Brendale workshop with the supplier's engineering. Most fits take 2 to 3 days. Chassis extensions take longer.
4
Drive away sorted
You leave with the certification paperwork and an alignment set for the new ride height and load.
Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series GVM upgrade FAQs
Why does a 300 Series need a GVM upgrade?
The factory payload is around 650 kg. A bar, roof rack, drawers, fridge, a full tank and a family of four can put you over that before you've packed the camping gear. The 4.2T upgrade lifts payload to around 1,555 kg.
Do I need new wheels and tyres?
Yes. The factory wheel has no documented load rating, so all GVM packages need load-rated wheels and tyres of at least 1,285 kg each. We'll quote them on the same job.
Can I tow 4,000 kg?
With a TSA 4.2T GVM upgrade, the 4,000 kg towing upgrade and the right hitch, yes. Talk to us about the van you're towing and we'll set it up properly.
How long will the vehicle be off the road?
Most fits take 2 to 3 days, including the wheels and tyres. We'll give you a time frame when we quote.
