Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need engineering approval for a GVM upgrade?
Yes, most GVM upgrades require certification from a qualified engineer or an authorised certifier to meet state or territory regulations. Approval confirms the modifications meet safety standards and allows the higher weight rating to be legally recognised on registration and insurance documents.
Who should consider a GVM upgrade?
A GVM upgrade is ideal for tradies, tourers, and 4WD owners carrying heavy loads or towing frequently. If your vehicle sags under weight, exceeds payload limits, or feels unstable while loaded, upgrading your GVM improves safety, handling, and compliance — especially for off-road setups or commercial use.
Do GVM upgrades increase resale value?
Yes — particularly for 4WDs and work utes. A certified GVM upgrade can boost appeal to buyers needing a heavier-duty setup. It also shows the vehicle has been professionally enhanced, often with quality suspension components that increase functionality, compliance, and long-term reliability.
