Suzuki Jimny JB74 GVM Upgrade
Get up to an extra 350KG payload – Upgrade your GVM to 1785KG
The Suzuki Jimny JB74 is compact and capable off-road, but its small size limits its factory payload. Once you add accessories, passengers, and gear, staying under the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) can be difficult.
Tough Dog Suspension, as a recognised Second Stage Manufacturer (SSM), develops federally certified GVM upgrades that boost the Jimny’s carrying capacity. This allows you to load up safely and legally without compromising roadworthiness.
Each GVM upgrade kit has been thoroughly tested to ensure ADR compliance.
Federal approval requires strict testing to ensure that the Jimny’s handling, braking, and stability remain safe with increased load capacity.
A Tough Dog GVM upgrade ensures your Jimny JB74 continues to perform confidently on and off-road. Testing requirements include:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing: Validates axle strength and maximum load limits.
- Brake Testing: Conducted laden, unladen, and under partial failure to meet ADR35/00.
- ESC Testing: If required, ensures the electronic stability control system is as good as or better than OEM standards.
The GVM is the maximum weight a vehicle can carry when fully loaded. A Tough Dog GVM upgrade allows your Suzuki Jimny JB74 to legally carry more weight while staying compliant with ADRs and road laws.
Approval depends on registration status:
