Gross Vehicle Mass Issues
As I understand it, GVM is set by the manufacturer, and cannot? be changed.
I am aware of a Toyo 105 with quite a few mods, including a 6.5 Brunswick and 4L80E conversion and long range tanks. In general discussions it came out that the Tare is now up in the order of 3200 kgm, and the GVM is I think 3260.
If I have it right, in effect, legally this means the weapon cannot be driven by anyone weighing more than 60 kgm, and certainly can't pull any trailer with a significant towball weight?
Or can the GVM be extended by HD suspension mods or other nefarious means?
PS
I'm now off to get my modded D2a over the weighbridge
