RAM 2500 GVM Upgrade by CTO Industries in Kilsyth Melbourne VIC

If you own a RAM 2500, a GVM upgrade can help increase your legal carrying capacity for towing, touring, trade use, remote travel and heavy-duty accessory setups. CTO Industries supplies RAM 2500 GVM upgrade solutions for owners who need their vehicle engineered for Australian conditions.

The RAM 2500 is a serious heavy-duty USA truck platform, often used for towing caravans, carrying touring equipment, running larger tyres, fitting bull bars, adding suspension upgrades and building a capable long-distance touring vehicle. Once accessories and towball weight are added, the available payload can quickly become limited. A properly engineered GVM upgrade helps give your RAM 2500 more usable load carrying capacity while keeping the vehicle set up correctly.

CTO Industries works with RAM, Ford F-Truck and Chevrolet Silverado platforms, helping USA truck owners choose suitable GVM upgrade packages, lift heights, suspension components, tyre engineering and supporting upgrades based on the way the vehicle is used.

Why use CTO Industries for your RAM 2500 GVM upgrade?

CTO Industries understands the requirements that come with building RAM 2500 trucks for towing, touring, heavy accessories and Australian road conditions. A RAM 2500 is a serious heavy-duty platform, and it needs to be upgraded with the right components, engineering and advice.

RAM 2500 models have two different CTO upgrade figures available, with the final package and pricing dependent on which kit is selected. Factory payloads can also vary depending on whether the vehicle is NB1 or NB2, which is why it is important to confirm the vehicle details before choosing a GVM upgrade pathway.
