Custom GVM Upgrades

A vehicle-specific approach

Packard Automotive offers pre-engineered kit options and custom upgrade pathways for 4WDs, light commercial vehicles and motorhomes across Western Australia.

A Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) upgrade may be worth considering when your vehicle needs to carry touring equipment, work gear, accessories or other loads within an approved operating mass. The right solution depends on the exact vehicle, its registration status, fitted accessories, intended load and proposed suspension setup.

Packard can assess available pre-engineered kits and bespoke solutions. Looking at the complete vehicle before work begins helps identify a suitable pathway, along with any supporting modifications, testing or approvals that may be required. You can make informed decisions about the build before committing to a particular option.

Why choose Packard Automotive?

Packard brings modification, testing and engineering capability together in one workshop. Proprietor Jack Packard is recognised as an Engineering Signatory for light vehicle modifications in Western Australia, and the team has more than 10 years’ industry experience across premium 4WD, touring, towing and work-vehicle builds.

Every GVM upgrade is assessed individually. Vehicle suitability, the available upgrade and certification depend on the completed vehicle, applicable requirements and any necessary testing or approval.
