Grenadier GVM and Quartermaster GVM

[MORE4x4]

@TheDocAUS suggested a specific thread to discuss GVM upgrades so here it is.

Feel free to ask any questions and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have, doesn’t have to be just about our upgrade.

Am I supposed to know what GVM is?

No, not really.
Gross Vehicle Mass. The Australian equivalent of US GVWR.

Hood = head covering
Fender = guitar

Take into account as a starting point before a GVM upgrade for the cab chassis version.

1. The cab chassis is ‘certified’ as the same kerb weight as the QM with tub. There’s a range of tests for certification in numerous jurisdictions. This is the official figure and INEOS must only communicate this.
2. The AUS NB1 Cab Chassis (base trim) Petrol has a kerb weight of 2,446kg & the Diesel has a kerb weight of 2,527kg both including 90% fuel tank full & all other fluids at the correct level.
3. The total gross weight of both versions is 3,550kg (GVM)
So as standard the load capability of petrol is 1,104 kg and diesel 1,023 kg.
That is without a GVM upgrade.
There are also different types of GVM upgrades and many people get the wrong ones or useless ones.

It means Gross Vehicle Mass.

The maximum weight of the Grenadier permitted under Australian road laws. The INEOS Grenadier has a GVM of 3550kg in Australia.

That GVM figure can be increased under certain conditions, normally with some mods and an engineering sign off.

Another Robert Pepper video specifically breaks down the GVM tricks manufacturers play using the Grenadier as the example. Very useful and detailed information imo if you are planning to really load the Greandier down and need to figure out how and how much to increase the GVM. the tldr is that you cant really just take Ineos' (or any manufacturers) word for it at least at the limits
