The LandCruiser Prado 250 is one of Australia's most popular family 4x4s - and the factory payload of around 615kg disappears faster than you'd think. Bull bar, rear drawers, roof rack, kids in the back, and you're already pushing it before you've hitched the van.
A federally approved GVM upgrade takes the Prado from compliant to genuinely capable. With options from 3650kg up to 4000kg there's a certified GVM kit here to suit weekend warriors and full-time tourers. Professionally installed by BAW Automotive in Brisbane. Wheel alignment included in all packages.
SUIT MODELS: Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 Series. Tough Dog and Lovells kits cover GX, GXL, VX, Altitude, and Kakadu. The Superior 4000kg kit is approved for GX, GXL, and Altitude only.
PLEASE NOTE: Pricing does not include load-rated wheels and tyres, and does not include engineering certification for post-registration installation.
