  1. I've done this upgrade as well and it works well. Unfortunately, can't do it on the new upgraded 200 Series and Toyota now have a GCM as well and any increase you make to the GVM comes off the towing capacity. So if you use all of the 3.8 available after the Lovedlls uipgrade, your towing capacity drops to 3.0.

  2. What a great time , left home (Brisbane) and travelled to Old Bar , Sydney, Bendeela Reserve Gathering and home via the Putty Road and New England Highway. The Silverado was fantastic , to Old Bar set cruise on speed limit and set back and relax . Old Bar to Bendeela a bit slower as we were in a convoy of 3 Kedrons. Bendeela to home set cruise on speed limit , we averaged 20.2 litres per 100ks for the whole trip. The hills , what hills . Down hills the exhaust brakes are magic . The 200 series Cruiser was a great vehicle , travelled over 60,000 ks towing the van. The Silverado is just so much better all round tug. I purchased the Silverado second hand ,2012 model with 60,000 ks on the clock. First thing I did after towing a Topender for 650 ks was change the rear shocks to stop the rear from bouncing along the road (the way the yanks like it). The only way to stop the rear from bouncing when towing the Topender was 30 psi in the bags. I can adjust the bag pressure from in the cab.The vehicle already had airbags fitted . I have to wonder why fit air bags when the problem is with the shocks . The shocks on the vehicle are not heavy duty enough. On this trip I played around with pressure and 10 psi worked for me, any lower not good for the bags I believe . Next change front shocks . Don't buy shocks from the USA , they maybe not heavy duty enough .
