Re: NSW Registration Increase
It's the GVM that matters.

Re: NSW Registration Increase
Ron I think you'd be up close to a $1,000 as above quote.
I believe when those coasters were imported they could be registered either under the 4.5 or above it.
For bus use they would mostly be above I think because a driver and 25 passengers with some luggage (or schoolbags) would need the extra to be legal.
Do you know the year and model?

Re: NSW Registration Increase
The GVM difference between SWB and LWB is just 500kg. Makes sense really because the LWB is only about 700mm longer - just enough for another row of seats, which gives an allowance of 100kg per person x5. Not sure if that includes the seat or if that is factored in with the vehicle beforehand.
I fount the following LWB Toyota Coaster specs HERE:
Coaster Standard
DIMENSIONS
WEIGHTS & CAPACITIES
Note: Kerb, tare & payload weights are nominal and will vary depending on options and tray/body type. Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is the total permissible combined weight of the vehicle, including occupants, fuel and cargo. Weights
- Kerb weight (kg) 3470
- Gross Vehicle Mass (kg) 4990
- Gross trailer weight braked (kg) 2000
- Gross trailer weight unbraked (kg) 680
Note: Towing capacity subject to regulatory requirements, towbar design, vehicle design and towing equipment limitations. Ask your Dealer for details of Toyota Genuine Towbar capacity and availability.

Re: NSW Registration Increase
The one we had was a 1989,that model went from 1982 to 1992 the SWB was 4490kg GVW and the LWB was around 5000kg GVW.The only difference between a SWB & LWB is a slightly longer body with an extra row of seats, also a SWB is 4 cyl. and a LWB is 6cyl.admin wrote:OK.......... anyone got a Coaster with a GVM less than 4.5 tonne?

That is the main reason the Coasters and Civilians are so popular.
The Isuzu NPR250 & 300 also come under the limit too and that's why you see quite a few as motorhomes.
Do you know what your vehicle weighs in travelling condition without any towed trailer or toad?
It might be possible to have it derated.
Make?
Model?
Weight?
PS. It's the rated capacity of the vehicle not what it weighs that matters.
My point in asking you what it weighs loaded is simply if it weighs in at 5 tonne loaded then there's no point getting it derated to 4.450 tonne .
Unfortunately we have never had it loaded up Have only taken it out on day runs as it is, and nothing loaded into it. We took it over the weigh brigde and it came in at 4.83 tonnes. No idea what the GMV is because we have not found the compliance plate yet

Re: NSW Registration Increase
The GVM should be shown on the rego sticker or papers.

I believe all three of these are in the drivers door well on mine, but may be in a different location depending on the vintage of other buses.aussiegirl wrote:... No idea what the GMV is because we have not found the compliance plate yet
The first shot leaves the GVM blank, but the middle plate is probably put on by Australian authorities when landed which has the GVM.
The last is tyre info.
