The Y62 leaves the factory with under 700 kg of payload. A bar, winch, drawers, a fridge, a full tank and the family use that up fast. These packages lift it to as much as 1,600 kg, and every one keeps 3,500 kg towing pre-rego.

Good to know before you book
Wheels and tyres
The 3.99T packages keep your factory wheels and 265/70R18 tyres. The 4.2T needs wheels and tyres rated to at least 1,275 kg each, and the 4.49T needs 1,475 kg. The factory Patrol wheel has no documented load rating, so both need a load-rated wheel and tyre package.
Approved sizes go up to LT35x12.5R18. 35s and 295s on +18 or +20 offset wheels need flares. We'll quote load-rated wheels and tyres on the same job.
Running a bar and winch?
A bullbar and winch can put the Patrol over its front axle rating on their own. The front axle upgrade swaps in Apex upper control arms and lifts the front rating from 1,650 to 1,750 kg. It's an option on the 3.99T and 4.2T, and included in the 4.49T.
Seven or eight seats?
For the 4.2T and 4.49T, there is an option for seven and eight seat Patrols to be dropped to five seats by removing the last row of seats and belts. The 3.99T packages keep all your seats.
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.
Nissan Patrol Y62 GVM upgrade FAQs
Which package should I pick?
If you want to keep your factory wheels or standard height, the 3.99T is the one. For a touring setup with bigger tyres, the 4.2T is the most popular. If you're carrying a lot, especially a bar, winch and heavy rear load, go the 4.49T.
Will my towing capacity change?
Done pre-rego, every package keeps 3,500 kg braked towing. Done post-rego, towing can drop. On the 4.2T it's 2,800 kg at the full 4,200 kg GVM. Ask us about your setup.
Can I keep my factory wheels?
Yes on the 3.99T packages. The 4.2T and 4.49T need load-rated wheels and tyres, because the factory Patrol wheel has no documented load rating. We'll quote them on the same job.
Can it be done on a registered Patrol?
All packages can be done pre or post rego. Post-rego jobs have an extra third-party engineering fee. Talk to us before you register a new Patrol so we can do it pre-rego.
How long will it be off the road?
Most fits take 3 to 5 days, including wheels and tyres. We'll give you a time frame when we quote.
Tell us what's on the Patrol, whether you run a bar and winch, and what you tow. We'll recommend the right package and quote it with the wheels and tyres to suit.
