GVM UPGRADES & SUSPENSION

Enhancing Vehicle Performance and Safety

If you are an adventurous soul who loves to explore the rugged terrains of Australia, you know that having a reliable and capable off-road vehicle is essential. However, sometimes the stock vehicle's Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) might fall short when it comes to carrying heavy loads or towing trailers or caravans.


A GVM upgrade involves increasing the maximum weight capacity that your vehicle is legally allowed to carry, ensuring your vehicle is equipped to handle the demands of your off-road adventures.
MFM Offroad will guide you through the process and recommend appropriate modifications to enhance your vehicle's performance and meet the necessary compliance standards.


One of the primary benefits of a GVM upgrade is the increased load-carrying capacity. This upgrade allows you to load your vehicle to its new maximum weight rating without compromising safety or putting undue stress on the components. Whether you need to carry extra supplies, camping gear, or equipment for work purposes, a GVM upgrade provides peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is up to the task.


Furthermore, a GVM upgrade can also improve your vehicle's towing capabilities. If you frequently tow caravans, trailers, or boats, increasing the GVM will allow you to tow heavier loads without exceeding the legal weight limits. This upgrade ensures a smoother and more stable towing experience, making your off-road adventures even more enjoyable.

MFM Offroad will assess your vehicle's suspension, brakes, chassis, and other critical components before making any modifications. Not only does this guarantee your safety, but it also ensures that your vehicle maintains compliance with Australian standards and regulations.

Exceeding your GVM, in addition to risking you and your passengers safety, you are also risking:

  • Fines from your state or territory police force

  • Voiding your insurance in the event of an accident
