The Patrol only has a factory payload of 742kg, so if you're intending to build a touring 4wd or tow a heavy caravan, you're going to bust past your carry capacity pretty quickly. Four adults, the ball weight of the van, and a full tank of fuel will pretty well tip you over your payload, so it's worth considering a GVM upgrade if you're doing anything serious to your Patrol. With multiple GVMs available, all running our upgraded Lower Control Arm, you'll travel happy knowing your suspension is properly equipped to carry the load and you're legally compliant.
