GVM Upgrades
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
The topic of GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) can often get complicated when talking towing, that’s why it’s important to talk to an expert in towing!
A GVM upgrade allows for an improved load capacity on a vehicle, this is typically required when wanting to kit out your vehicle past the vehicle manufacturers stock GVM. A GVM upgrade will allow more scope for accessories like bull bars, long range tanks, roof racks etc but still has its limitations, especially when towing. As well as GVM it is important to understand the effects of GCM (Gross Combination Mass), Axle Capacities, Ball Weights and Brake Towing Capacity.
JMACX GCM upgrades are also available for some pre-registered Toyota Vehicles.
Exceeding the vehicles approved GVM could lead to a costly fine, void your insurance and make your vehicle unsafe.
If towing you will often see the most benefit from a GVM upgrade when towing a lighter weight Caravan or Camper that is well under the Brake Towing Capacity. This mean you have plenty of additional weight to play with before nearing the critical towing weight restrictions.
Given your towing situation is unique to you it is best to talk to the professionals and get a full weight assessment before deciding if a GVM upgrade is required.
