Overview
Explore the Toyota Tundra in Australia
Toyota Australia's Tundra is remanufactured to right-hand drive for the local market and sold in Limited and Platinum grades, powered by a twin-turbo V6 hybrid. It's a big truck with a relatively modest factory payload, which makes load planning and a GVM upgrade important for touring and towing builds.
01
Australian Tundra
Limited and Platinum grades share the same factory ratings. Confirm the exact build date and compliance plate before choosing accessories.
02
Payload first
The factory payload is about 758kg. A canopy, passengers and towball download can use that up quickly.
03
Towing
Rated to 4,500kg braked on a 70mm towball. A GVM upgrade lifts the GCM so you can tow with a loaded truck.

Toyota Tundra GVM upgrade kits
View all GVM upgradesFactory: MY25 Limited and Platinum figures shown (GVM 3,536kg, GCM 7,825kg, payload about 758kg, 4,500kg braked towing on a 70mm towball).
Upgraded: maximum figures with a Payload Performance GVM upgrade, including payload of up to 1,249kg and tyres up to 50mm larger in diameter than standard. The kit that applies depends on your truck's build date, so we confirm it when you enquire.
Figures are indicative maximums for the listed kits and Australian-delivered vehicles. Exact ratings depend on the vehicle variant, build date, compliance plate and approval path in your state or territory. A GVM upgrade does not automatically change towing or axle ratings.
Build planning
Build the Tundra for your use
A touring Tundra might combine a canopy, drawers, a dual-battery system and towing gear, while a work truck might prioritise load space and protection. Decide what must stay fitted every day and plan the whole package at once, so the finished truck stays inside its ratings.
GVM and payload planning
Passengers, luggage, accessories and towball download all count against payload. With a factory payload of about 758kg, many touring Tundras need a GVM upgrade. Confirm the exact vehicle's plated ratings and the approval path for your state or territory first.
Talk to us about payloadWhy choose a Toyota Tundra?
The Tundra gives Australian buyers a full-size pickup with a Toyota badge, a spacious crew cab and a 4,500kg braked towing rating on a 70mm towball. It suits owners who want one vehicle for daily driving, long-distance touring and towing a caravan or boat, without stepping up to a heavy-duty truck.
- Towing caravans, boats and trailers
- Long-distance touring with a full load
- A roomy family and work vehicle
Toyota Tundra modifications
Payload Performance can supply and professionally install a complete Tundra package, planned around how the finished truck will be used:
GVM upgrades
The factory payload is limited for a full-size truck. An approved GVM upgrade can raise the Tundra to 3,999kg GVM and around 1,249kg of payload while keeping 4,500kg towing.
Suspension & lift kits
Improve ride, clearance and load control with suspension matched to the weight your Tundra carries and tows.
Wheels & tyres
Choose a wheel and tyre package up to 50mm larger than standard, balancing looks with load rating and approved fitment.
Protection & accessories
Bull bars, side steps, lighting, UHF and storage, checked for compatibility with the Australian Tundra.
Complete touring builds
Planning to tow a caravan or travel long distances? We'll scope the whole package together rather than treating each upgrade separately.
Buying a Toyota Tundra?

Does a GVM upgrade change the Tundra's towing capacity?
