I am he, fear me
IMHO... as it applies to second stage manuf of 'new' vehicles... I agree with prev posts that if you already know you need a higher GVM of your 'new' vehicle when you are buying it then you did indeed buy the wrong one.
Two of our fleet vehicles at work have second stage GVM increases, one of our 200 series and one of our Rangers.
The 200 isn't too bad but the Ranger handles like a POS and is deadly for those who aren't aware it does NOT react anything like all the other Rangers we have.
We now only allow people who have been checked out on it to use it.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Maybe, & perhaps it might also help to convince a lot of the caravan manufacturers that there are better ways to build vans, that they can be made strong & robust without being so heavy.

This may cause some of the new 4wd small trucks ( Iveco's and others ) to become more popular for off-roading & towing.

Best to give the family a call, extremely helpful team, better than I could ever explain here.

Extract: 6x6 Australia’s Coil Spring Suspension with Loadshare Beams and Diff-Locating ‘A-Arms’ & Lower Control Rods (an International Registered Design) incorporates a mechanically integrated ‘Roll-Steer’ function, allowing the tyres to maneuvre under basic physical forces from the Payload as the vehicle corners (Inertia-force, Gravity, and Centrifugal-force combined). Also, in combination with our ‘Roller-drive’ Power-divider, the Coil Spring Suspension works to reduce tyre wear. It’s very subtle and difficult to describe without a proper demonstration, which helps explain these concepts further. Contact us to organize a personal demonstration for you.
