Unlock your GVM Potential : How a Simple GVM Upgrade Can Transform Your Toyota 300 Series Into a Heavy-Duty Beast!
Author: Legendex Date Posted:28 August 2024
Increase Maximum Payload with 4495 GVM Upgrade for Your Toyota 300 Series
Your Toyota 300 Series is built for adventure, whether your dream off-road tracks or towing heavy loads across long distances. But when your vehicle is heavily modified or carrying a significant load, a GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) upgrade becomes essential to ensure safety, comfort, and legal compliance. At Legendex Brisbane, we specialise in offering the complete 4495 GVM upgrade solution, helping you maximise your payload while enhancing the overall driving experience.
With a tailored suspension setup from Dobinson and advanced engineering from DMW, our GVM upgrade kits are designed to keep your Toyota 300 Series performing at its peak, even under the heaviest loads. Whether you’re towing a caravan, loading up for a big trip, or just want more capability, we’ve got you covered.
Why Choose a 4495 GVM Upgrade for Your Toyota 300 Series?
1. Increased Payload Capacity
One of the primary reasons drivers opt for a GVM upgrade is to increase their vehicle's payload capacity. With the 4495 GVM upgrade, your Toyota 300 Series can handle an extra 1,200 kg. This is especially crucial for those towing heavy caravans, carrying extra fuel, or accommodating additional passengers. Without this upgrade, you may risk exceeding your vehicle’s legal load limit, leading to fines and unsafe driving conditions.
2. Enhanced Safety and Stability
Upgrading your GVM isn’t just about increasing weight capacity; it’s about ensuring your vehicle remains safe and stable on the road. Our GVM upgrade kits are designed to balance your vehicle's weight distribution, improving handling and reducing strain on critical components like the suspension and brakes. This means a smoother, safer driving experience, especially when navigating tough terrain or long road trips.
3. Tailored Suspension Solutions
At Legendex Brisbane, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why we offer tailored suspension setups from Dobinson, designed to suit your specific needs. Whether you need a suspension system that can handle a fully loaded roof rack or one optimized for heavy towing, our experts will ensure your Toyota 300 Series remains comfortable and stable under any conditions.
4. Professional Engineering by DMW
DMW, a trusted name in vehicle modification, is responsible for the advanced engineering behind our GVM upgrades. From reinforced rear differentials to heavy-duty coils and airbag systems, every component is carefully engineered to handle the extra mass. DMW is also an SSM (Second Stage Manufacturing) registered manufacturer, meaning all modifications meet rigorous testing standards, including brake testing, to ensure your vehicle remains safe and compliant.

With a maximum payload of just 700kg when not towing, and only 350kg when towing at 3.5T, the LC300’s stock GVM might not meet your needs, especially on longer trips or when fully loaded. Adding passengers, accessories, and equipment can quickly eat into this payload, making a GVM upgrade not just beneficial but necessary.

How the GVM Upgrade Works
Step 1: Consultation
The process begins with understanding your unique needs. Are you towing a caravan? Carrying heavy loads on a regular basis? Our team will consult with you to determine the best GVM upgrade solution for your Toyota 300 Series. We’ll assess your vehicle’s current setup and provide recommendations based on your usage.
Step 2: Suspension and Engineering Upgrades
Once we’ve determined the right GVM upgrade for your vehicle, our team gets to work. We’ll install a custom Dobinson suspension setup tailored to your specific load requirements. In addition, DMW will reinforce critical components such as the rear differential, sway bars, and control arms to ensure your vehicle can handle the increased weight.
Step 3: Compliance and Safety Testing
Every GVM upgrade kit we install is fully compliant with Australian safety standards. DMW, as an SSM registered manufacturer, conducts thorough testing to ensure your vehicle meets all legal requirements, including brake testing. This gives you peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is both safe and road-legal.

"The GVM upgrade on our Toyota 300 Series has been a game-changer. We tow a large caravan, and before the upgrade, we were constantly worried about exceeding weight limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do I need a GVM upgrade if I’m only towing occasionally?
A: Not always. A GVM upgrade is necessary if your combined vehicle and payload exceed the manufacturer's maximum allowable weight. However, if your towing is light and infrequent, you may only need a suspension upgrade. Our team can help you assess whether a GVM upgrade is right for you.
Q: Will a GVM upgrade affect my vehicle’s warranty?
A: In most cases, a professionally installed GVM upgrade from an SSM registered manufacturer like DMW will not void your warranty. However, we recommend checking with your vehicle manufacturer or dealer for specific details related to your vehicle's warranty.
Q: How long does the GVM upgrade process take?
A: The upgrade process typically takes a few days, depending on the complexity of the modifications. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Q: Is financing available for GVM upgrades?
A: Yes, we offer flexible financing options to help you spread out the cost of your GVM upgrade. Contact us for more details on payment plans.
