Instead of paying the fortune for a new 300 series I've gone the other way and bought a decent 80 series which I'm going through and replacing all the worn out stuff on, I could put 10 rebuilt engines and transmissions through the 80 for the cost of a 300 and it's a joy to own, looks better and won't depreciate as they're collectable now....oh and the 80 is cool 😂

One aspect of GVM upgrades that no one seems to cover is are the mods approved by the vehicle manufacturer? If not and let's say the vehicle is still under warranty, who covers the cost of repairs or replacement to a component, e.g., a transmission or engine failure that is directly attributable to carrying/towing a load over and above the vehicle manufacturer's limits? I'm pretty sure the manufacturer won't. Will the GVM kit manufacturer cover it? I doubt it.

I have a 2013 RR Sport supercharged and I take it out on Fort Fisher beach in North Carolina which is very deep sand, and with tire pressure at 15 (street tires) and sand mode it is flawless. Zero problems. So whatever the achilles heel is for RR and sand, I have not experienced it.

it astounds me that you spend so much on these cars when you purchases them new and you still need to upgrade suspension etc to make them tow a 3500kg van safely. Why don't Toyota make something that is more than capable without having to do any alterations?

One of the other great things about the DO35 compared to a traditional ball hitch is that it has a very short height. This is of concern to those of use who have spare wheels, tailgates and side gates that are located above the hitch spatially. Previously, we would ding our tailgates or have to decouple prior to accessing our cargo space. Some of us need to delete or relocate our spare wheel carrier if we plan on towing, especially when we have larger diameter spare wheels. How much vertical space is required for a DO35 hitch to be coupled? The Pin is about 70mm above the ball mount, The uncovered coupling is about 50mm and the dust cover is an additional 25mm. Worth noting is that if the ball mount is below a permanent fixture, like a spare wheel or ute tray, you will be restricting articulation. It may not be a good idea to do Gunshot Creek without extending your ball mount.

Looks like a significant amount of lift added giving the option for larger wheel tyre options! Would be interested to know the actual measurement here (appears to be 50-75mm) There are several vans out there using this platform including the Coromal Princeton / Lifestyle series sold as 'semi off road' or 'on road' both quite limited in their offroad capability and clearance for a 21-22' van. The CruiseMaster XT suspension upgrade certainly looks like a great option to greatly improve the offroad ability, GTM & road manners of these style vans.

To tow that size and weight carvan even empty the car is sitting low in the rear. The Landcruser has poor load capacity around 650kg so you have to spend $7000 plus on an upgrade which voids Toyotas drive train and steering /suspension warranty. The suspension companies wont give you anything in writing to take up the factory warranty.
