RAM 1500 GVM UPGRADES BRISBANE
WHY UPGRADE YOUR RAM 1500’S GVM?
TOW SAFER AND CARRY MORE
The RAM 1500’s factory GVM can disappear fast once you hook up a caravan, boat, or load the tub with gear. Between tow-ball download weight, passengers, and accessories, you can quickly exceed your legal limit — putting extra strain on your suspension, chassis, and braking performance.
Upgrading your RAM 1500’s GVM increases its legal payload capacity and restores stability when towing heavy loads. With the right setup, your ute stays level, compliant, and predictable — even with a van on the back. It’s the safest way to stay within Queensland’s road laws while protecting your vehicle, insurance, and peace of mind.
RAM 1500 DT GVM OPTIONS AND PAYLOAD CAPACITY
How you tow and load your RAM 1500 determines the right GVM upgrade for you. Whether it’s a 3.5T van on the back or a full canopy setup for touring, there’s an option to keep it all legal and level.
The table below shows how each GVM option increases your legal payload capacity and which setups they’re best suited for; from weekend getaways to full-time towing.
GVM RATING | INCREASE OVER FACTORY | TYPICAL USE CASE |
|---|---|---|
3700kg | +250kg | Light Touring or Tradie |
3950kg | +500 kg | Part-time Tourer or Heavy Tradie |
4000kg | +550 kg | Full-time Tourer or Towing |
