Toyota Tundra GVM Upgrade
A Toyota Australia Tundra Limited or Platinum, 2023 to 2026, is certified at 3,536 kg from the factory. These federally approved SSM packages take it to 3,850 kg or 4,300 kg. Both stay under 4,500 kg, so a car licence still covers the truck. Braked towing stays 4,500 kg. Platinum is heavier than Limited, so its payload is lower at the same GVM. We fit the package as specified at Arundel or Mackay.
Packages
Stages 1 and 2 keep the factory 265/60R20 wheels. Stages 3 and 4 need a wheel rated to 1,225 kg, a 116Q tyre, and can run a 35x12.5. Front axle capacity stays 1,850 kg on every stage.

State-Based Engineering
There is no Tundra lift-kit collection. If the federal package does not match the truck, we quote a state-based modification plate. Those kilograms are set for the VIN and they are not the stage ratings.
Add to the build
Where a stage needs a load-rated wheel, we quote it with the package. It is not approved until the provider signs it off and the load rating meets the figure in the table. The order is an AEV wheel that fits this truck, then the KMC KM733 Impact FFT on an HD 8-lug, then Fuel Maverick or Fuel Vapor in 18x9 or 20x9 at +20. Method is not on this list. Tyres are a BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 when a size meets the stage load index, or a BFGoodrich all-terrain. Lights and a bull bar sit outside the approved kit. A bar, winch or canopy adds kerb weight and uses payload.

Tundra GVM questions
Limited or Platinum, which payload do I use?
Platinum kerb weight is about 2,834 kg from the factory against 2,792 kg for a Limited, and the gap stays after the upgrade. At 4,300 kg a Limited has about 1,478 kg of payload and a Platinum about 1,436 kg. Send the badge with the VIN.
Do I need new wheels for a one-tonne payload?
Not for 3,850 kg. Stages 1 and 2 clear that on the factory 265/60R20. The 4,300 kg stages need a 1,225 kg wheel and a 116Q tyre.
Does 4,300 kg need a truck licence?
No. Light Rigid starts over 4,500 kg. A Tundra on this package stays on a car licence.
