Nissan Navara GVM Upgrades
If you own a Nissan Navara and regularly carry heavy loads, upgrading your vehicle’s suspension can significantly enhance its strength and towing capacity, making it more reliable for demanding tasks.
Whether you use your Navara for work, off-road trips, or towing, you could unknowingly be exceeding its Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) limit, putting extra strain on its performance and safety.
Every vehicle in Australia has a GVM rating, which defines the maximum weight it can legally and safely carry, including passengers, cargo, and accessories. This limit is set by the manufacturer to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy and compliant with legal weight restrictions.
Upgrading your Nissan Navara’s GVM allows you to carry more without compromising safety or compliance with Federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport regulations. We offer certified GVM upgrades using Pedders GVM kits, including:
- Nissan Navara D23 (Coil Spring Rear) – Increases GVM to 3070kg, providing extra load-carrying capacity while maintaining stability and performance.
DAPCO Bunbury is licensed as a 2nd stage manufacturer, meaning we can legally increase the GVM of eligible Nissan Navara models, providing a certified solution for those needing extra load capacity.

- Have equipped additional accessories such as long range fuel tanks, bull bars, winches, side steps, roof racks or recovery gear.
- Load up your vehicle with camping equipment and two or more adult passengers.

If you are carrying common items such as tools, tool boxes, cargo, bull bars, winches, towbars, extra fuel, passengers, recovery gear and tow ball load such as a boat, caravan or camper trailer you will be adding weight to your vehicle and decreasing the available payload.
