TOUGH DOG 4000KG GVM UPGRADE FOR RAM 1500 DT (2019-ON)
If you’re looking to enhance your RAM 1500 DT's payload capacity, Tough Dog has you covered. Their GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) upgrade kits allow you to safely and legally carry more weight. Here are the key details:
Payload Increase: Tough Dog’s GVM upgrade can boost your vehicle’s allowable payload by 500kg, taking it from the factory GVM of 3450kg to a massive 3889kg.
The towing capacity of 3500kg or 4500kg, and the Gross Combination Mass of 7237kg remain unchanged.
What's Included:
The upgrade comes with an unlimited-kilometre warranty, capped at four years for recreational users and three years for commercial users.
- 2 x 40mm Front Struts (Complete Assembly)
- 2 x 40mm Rear Foam Cell Shocks
- 2 x Rear Coil Springs
- 1 x Sway Bar Relocation Bracket kit
- 1 x AirAssist Coil Insert Air Bags Kit
Safety and Compliance: These kits are rigorously tested to ensure compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADRs). They undergo Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing, brake testing (laden and unladen), and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) testing. This ensures that your upgraded 4WD will handle well and stop safely even with the increased load.
Federal or State Approval: Depending on whether your vehicle is registered, you can choose either federal or state-based approval for the GVM upgrade. If your vehicle has never been registered, federal approval can be applied. For registered vehicles, the data used in federal compliance is combined with a vehicle inspection by an authorized state engineer to certify the upgrade.
Installation: Fitting must be carried out in-store. All of our pricing includes fitting and wheel alignment.
