GVM Upgrades

The American trucks are out of the box designed to carry additional weights and be loaded up with things such as caravans, boats and tray/canopy setups. However they aren’t always setup for the Australian conditions. We upgrade suspension components, add adequate air bag solutions and then we can upgrade them with our engineers to a higher GVM than what they get stamped with when registered in Australia. We have had rams, chevs and f trucks all within the ec offroad group and we have used them with Canopies, Boats and Caravans to work out the best solutions to suit each application.
