Our Patrol had an upgraded GVM to 3900kg. Leaf sprung ute 2006 TD42i.
Used recovery service several times over the years. Weight was never mentioned & was not not charged extra on insurance.
Our previous vehicle, a 7 metre bus with a GVM of 5.2t was treated just the same twice. Often (in outback areas at least) whether they will recover you depends upon the capacity of the the tow truck.
At 3.550t I would be amazed if the RAC etc would refuse to recover you. As it is the limit for the RACV (Total Care) is 8 tonnes. 'Standard' roadside assistance limit is 4 tonnes. Our OKA motorhome is within their size & weight limits. We have travelled with Total care for years & consider it a 'no brainer'. Service when we have needed it could not have been better.
