Thinking this was a mistake, I checked online on DOT direct (WA DPI) and even there it was 6200kg.
I then checked the compliance plate, and it only stated the GVM as 3000kg, no mention of GCM.
Before buying the car, i was going off the 5650kg GCM stated on the Toyota website (still the same).
The Hilux manual also states 5650kg.
So, after laying it all on the table, what is my actual GCM?
Could it be that Toyota have uprated the GCM when registering the car with the DPI to combat the negative hype behind the practical capabilities of the dual cab utes (i.e. reduction in payload to allow for maximum towing capability)?
I'd be interested in hearing what GCM is stated for Gen8 Hiluxes from different states and previous years.
Cheers.
Tom
