Unlock your Ford F150’s true potential with a GVM upgrade solution from CTO Industries — Australia’s trusted leader in 4x4 performance and towing enhancements. Whether you’re hauling heavy loads, heading off-road, or towing a caravan across the outback, a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) upgrade is the best way to stay safe, legal, and capable—no matter the journey.
The Ford F150 is a powerful and adaptable American truck built to handle serious workloads and rugged terrain. However, if you’re adding accessories, loading gear, towing caravans, or carrying trades equipment, you may be pushing your vehicle beyond its factory GVM limits—risking legal issues, reduced performance, and safety concerns.
That’s where CTO Industries comes in. Our ADR-compliant, engineered and certified GVM upgrade kits are designed specifically for Australian conditions and fully approved under VTA regulations.
Each F150 GVM upgrade kit from CTO Industries includes carefully selected high-quality components and suspension solutions engineered to enhance capability without sacrificing ride comfort or safety:
Heavy-duty coilover or leaf suspension upgrades
Adjustable shocks and upper control arms for improved geometry and articulation
Upgraded springs, bushings, and u-bolts
Fox, BDS, Zone, or Bilstein shock options
All components tested and compliant with ADR and VTA certification standards
Complete documentation and engineering reports for legal compliance
Our upgrades allow you to increase the GVM capacity, typically up to 3,500–4,200kg, depending on model, setup, and application.
Whether your F150 is a Lariat, XLT, Raptor, or LWB variant, our GVM upgrade kits are compatible with a wide range of aftermarket and OEM accessories, including:
Caravan & camping gear
Roof racks and winches
Bull bars, bash plates, and underbody protection
Long-range fuel tanks
Tow hitches and trailer setups
Clearview mirrors, air intakes, LED light bars, and more
Each upgrade is tailored to your driving needs—from weekend trail rides and desert touring to heavy-duty commercial work.
CTO Industries kits are designed, tested, and proven in real-world Australian environments—from the rugged terrain of the outback, to the steep coastal ranges and demanding city conditions.
Our products are built to absorb impacts, handle increased weight, and maintain vehicle stability under all load conditions—keeping you safe, legal, and confident wherever your F150 takes you.
Driving an overweight vehicle can lead to:
Insurance voidance
Breached ADR compliance
Increased risk of mechanical failure or braking issues
Heavy fines at weigh stations and roadside checks
Our fully certified GVM upgrade kits are approved by VTA and come with all necessary engineering documentation to ensure your Ford F150 remains legal and roadworthy under Australian vehicle standards.
