Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a 2012 Hilux Workmate (TGN16R, single cab, cab chassis) and have a few questions. My typical setup includes a toolbox and a trundle drawer loaded with gardening tools, a lawn mower, and hand tools (shovel, pick, crowbar). I estimate my constant load to be around 150 kg. Occasionally, I carry bags of fertilizer or mulch (+100/200kg), and sometimes I transport up to 1/2 ton of mulch or soil (I try not to exceed this limit).

  1. The vehicle currently has 205/70R15 tyres. What’s the largest tyre size I can upgrade to without lifting the vehicle or significantly affecting the odometer? Would 215/70R15 or 215/65R16 be suitable? Of course i will consider speed and load ratings. Any recommendations?

  2. Is it possible to reinforce the rear suspension for heavier loads (e.g., mulch or soil) without lifting the vehicle? I notice that on this load the rear just goes down dramatically, and my mechanic says the suspension is all right. 

  3. If I opt for a 1" lift (garage height constraints prevent anything taller), is this feasible? Any recommendations for achieving this?

Thank you very much for any help!
