New GVM+ Upgrade Kit offers a large increase for the Toyota LC250 Prado

Pedders Suspension and Brakes, a trusted Australian name in undercar replacement and upgrade solutions, has announced the launch of its latest product offering for the Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 Series: a range of GVM+ Upgrade Kits that it says can deliver up to a “staggering” 800kg increase in payload capacity over the standard vehicle.
Engineered for serious load carriers, off-road adventurers, caravanners and fleet operators alike, Pedders says these upgrades transform the 250 series Prado into a true heavyweight performer.
With GVM ratings of 3520kg, 3680kg, up to an impressive 3900kg – depending on base vehicle specification and GVM kit choice – these kits significantly boost the vehicle’s capability while maintaining compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The upgrade is federally approved and legal across all states and territories.
“This is a game-changer for Prado owners who want more from their vehicle,” Pedders Chief Product Officer, Rob Davis, said.
“Whether it’s for towing, touring, or trade, these kits deliver vastly increased payload capacity for the Prado without compromising safety or comfort with the peace of mind of being legally compliant in all states and territories.”
Pedders says this latest offering confirms its mantle as “the heavyweight champions of GVM upgrades, with more vehicle fitment options for GVM kits than any other Australian supplier.”
The Prado GVM+ Upgrade Kit includes a full suite of components designed to deliver increased payload safely, including upgraded foam cell struts and shocks, heavy-duty coil springs, upper control arms, shock spacers, and spring perch supports.
Each part is rigorously tested to meet Pedders’ high standards for durability and performance.
Backed by Pedders’ two-year / 40,000km nationwide warranty and supported by over 120 outlets across Australia, the GVM+ Upgrade Kit is available now for new Prado models built from August 2024 onward.
