💥200kg OVER Our ATM! What Went Wrong & How We Fixed It 🔧

Most people focus on GVM, towing capacity or ATM… but there’s one number almost everyone overlooks, and it’s the one that can cost you the most. In today’s video we break down the real‑world truth about weights, payload and towing limits — using our own setup as the example. We cover the basics like GVM, Kerb Weight, TBM and Payload, and why a big GVM doesn’t automatically mean you have a big payload to work with. Then we look at the caravan side of the equation — ATM, GTM and how we ended up 200kg over our ATM before stripping the weight back. From there we walk through our Titanium HS2 and show exactly what we kept, what we removed, and how much payload you realistically need in a caravan depending on how you travel. Finally, we talk about the trend we’re seeing across the whole industry: people chasing bigger and bigger GVM and ATM numbers without stopping to ask what problem they’re actually trying to solve. With our 76 LandCruiser now upgraded to a 3900kg GVM, it has the biggest payload of any 4x4 wagon in Australia — and even competes with many of the larger utes on the market. If you’re trying to understand your weights, avoid expensive mistakes, or set up your rig for long‑term travel, this one will help you make sense of it all.
