FACTORY VS UPGRADED
WHAT A FORD F-150 GVM UPGRADE CAN DELIVER
Here's what a certified ORI GVM upgrade delivers for your Ford F-150 — installed by BAW, engineered by Offroad Industries.
RATING | FROM FACTORY | WITH GVM UPGRADE |
|---|---|---|
GVM | 3220kg | Up to 4300kg |
Payload | ~769kg | Up to 1819kg |
GCM | 7720kg | Up to 8800kg |
BTC | 4500kg | 4500kg (unchanged) |
THE REAL PROBLEM
WHY F-150 OWNERS RUN OUT OF PAYLOAD
The F-150 is one of the most capable trucks on the road - but the factory GVM of 3220kg doesn't leave much room once you factor in passengers, accessories, and towing a 4000kg caravan.
Exceeding your GVM can void your insurance and put unnecessary strain on the factory suspension. A certified ORI GVM upgrade increases your payload over one tonne, restores ride height under load, and keeps the American truck compliant on Queensland roads.
GVM UPGRADE OPTIONS
FORD F-150 GVM KITS - WHICH STAGE SUITS
YOUR BUILD?
The F-150 GVM upgrade range from Offroad Industries offers six stages — the widest range of any GVM kit available for an American truck in Australia. Each stage delivers a different combination of GVM rating, lift height, and tyre size, so there's a setup to match whether you want more payload, a bigger lift, or both.
DISCLAIMER
ORI GVM upgrades are available for Australian-delivered Ford F-150 models only.
All GVM upgrade figures and payload increases shown are typical examples only. Final approved upgrade levels may vary depending on your F-150's model year, variant, and fitted accessories.
Every vehicle is inspected and certified individually to ensure compliance with Australian Design Rules and relevant state regulations.
PRE-REGO VS POST-REGO
BUYING NEW OR ALREADY REGISTERED?
Timing changes how the upgrade gets certified. Here's what it means for your Ford F-150.
PRE-REGO (SSM)
Buying a new Ford F-150 Lariat or Platinum? Sort the GVM upgrade before you pick it up.
Done before the vehicle is first registered. Federally approved under Second Stage Manufacture (SSM). Recognised across all Australian states and territories. Usually allows bigger lifts and tyre sizes.
GCM & TOWING
TOWING WITH YOUR FORD F-150? DON'T FORGET GCM
Upgrading your vehicle’s GVM can increase how much weight you can legally carry — but when you’re towing, your GCM (Gross Combination Mass) still sets the overall limit.
This tool shows how the weight of your vehicle and trailer combine to reach your GCM limit.
Adjust the sliders to see how close you are to the maximum combined weight when towing.
The stage you choose affects all three of these numbers differently. Stage 3 and 4 deliver the highest GVM at 4,300kg and GCM at 8,800kg.
Getting the right stage for how you actually use the truck matters — this is why BAW does a full assessment before recommending a kit.
