Paperwork gone off to DVLA and it'll be replaced from 3100kg to 3500kg. 

Surely needs more doing to get it to 3500kg. 

Need to make sure tyres are upto it as they are going to take more of the mass weight.

Nice commercial. What's the towing rating on those. I think they have a 3.0l in them so would expect them to pull well?

3ton towing capacity and a 2.8 same as Hilux but with less torque. It's an eye opener when you put foot down.

Thought I'd post this. Couple of days ago I fitted air suspension to our 71 plate single cab Dmax. Pretty straight easy to do. Need to redo the air valve mount (didn't realise the kit didn't come with anything soke mad something from some scrap).

I would highly recommend running that airline to the front passenger footwell instead. Whilst you're at it, add a T as well (what kind of airbag kit doesn't have a tee??) As you have it is dangerous- one airbag fails and the truck drops suddenly to one side. They should be linked.

 

 

Then add one of these:

 

Ring RTC1000 Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator 12V - Screwfix

Order Ring RTC1000 Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator 12V at Screwfix.com. Screwfix customers rate this product 4.8/5...

 

Nice and quick, set the desired pressure, press the button and she will inflate to that and then cut off.

 

No matter what, the airbags and pipework will bleed out slowly over time. You will also find yourself wanting to adjust the pressure more than you might think. 10-20PSI is comfortable for an empty truck and driver. Wind it up to 80PSI with a fully loaded trailer and it'll take all the bob and sway out when towing. If you've got this in the cab it's real simple, and you're never caught short. There's a bleed valve on it too to dump pressure if needed.

 

It's a real gamechanger, I have it on two Mazda type Rangers.

Why do Toyota persist in using a smallish 4 pot and a low towing limit? Hugely limits the potential customer pool.
