    GVM upgrade

    The Tuffant company has posted a request for interest in a GVM upgrade for the L663. All states to be available. No details yet.

    There is a 5 seat 110 for sale in Brisbane with rear axle upgraded to 1900kg this will be a big help for those of us who tow with the 5 seat version.

    There are a huge number of hoops to jump through for a full GVM upgrade,on a vehicle of that design.

    The iGuide states that the maximum rear axle load for the 5 seater 110 is 1800 kg but the front (1530 kg) and rear axle maximum loads cannot be reached simultaneously as this will exceed the GVW limit of 3220 kg.

    So it will be interesting to see what is developed.

    3380 - 3500 tbc is in their post.
    All I want is the 1800kg 5 seat vs 1900kg 7 seat for the apparently identical vehicle fixed.
    I'm ok within the 1800kg but it needs care in loading.

    Anything in that range will be welcomed by those who tow caravans I'm sure.
