GVM Upgrades

What are GVM upgrades, and why are they essential for off-road vehicles?

GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass, which is the total weight capacity that your truck can legally carry. GVM upgrades can come from a number of new parts and accessories, but typically are from adding new suspension and improved brakes. 

When you’re heading offroad, you’re typically going to be hauling some major gear - whether that’s in the tray or on a trailer. When you upgrade your GVM, you’ll prevent handling and safety issues and reduce brake wear and tear. It’s essential to ensure you get a safe, enjoyable drive, which means you’re not held back by having to pick and choose which gear to take when you’re roughing it.
