FACTORY VS UPGRADED
WHAT A WHAT A JIMNY GVM UPGRADE DELIVERS
Here's what a Tough Dog certified GVM upgrade delivers for your 3 Door Suzuki Jimny — installed by BAW, engineered by Tough Dog.
RATING | FROM FACTORY | WITH GVM UPGRADE |
|---|---|---|
GVM | 1435kg | Up to 1800kg |
Payload | ~340kg | Up to 705kg |
THE REAL PROBLEM
THE JIMNY LOOKS SMALL - BUT IT ADDS UP FAST
Here's something a lot of new Jimny owners don't realise until it's too late — the Jimny is a tiny vehicle with a tiny factory payload. At 1435kg GVM, and most owners don't realise they're over their legal weight limit until something goes wrong.
​
Exceeding your GVM isn't just a technicality. It can void your insurance, affect how the vehicle handles under load, and put you on the wrong side of Queensland road laws. A Tough Dog GVM upgrade gives the Jimny the legal carrying capacity to match the build — so you can fit the gear you want and actually be covered when you use it.
