Great upgrade. I was a little surprised that the stretch and the capacity upgrade weren't all part of the pre-rego process. Looking forward to the next stage - the stretch and the canopy. Its going to be fit for purpose.

The GVM and GCM upgrades were needed to be done pre rego that is why we had to wait so long to take delivery but the stretch can be done after rego as limitless chassis also repairs bent chassis and sometimes extend and strengthen them as well the most common one is the triton can't wait to get it back and get the canopy built cheers kev

it should not change warranty to much as lovells will do warranty on the suspension and related problems and limitless chassis will warranty anything that relates to the chassis stretch other than that Ford dealer assures us there wont be any dramas with any normal warranty issues cheers kev

My oldman was a truckie all his life. He always said what you are towing should never weigh more than your tow vehicle or in worst case scenario one and a half times. I rekon your a bit under gunned. Before everone carries on have a look at Auto Expert John Cadogan. He has done videos on towing and loads etc. Its up to you. That aside good luck becarefull.

Hi we also have trucks and yes your father was definetly correct in my view also. We have a max gvm of 3700 we should be around 3600 including ball weight and our max gcm is 7200 but our van is around 3100 loaded including ball weight of 270 so we expect to be close to our gvm but gcm should be around 6400 /6500 kgs We believe that there will be a lot more weight checking happening in the next few years as there is so many way overloaded vehicles and caravans on our roads I do enjoy watching Johns videos even though he has a huge hatred for caravans cheers kev
