Understanding GVM and GCM

Understanding GVM and GCM

A common question we get at ARB revolves around the difference between GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) And GCM (Gross Combinational Mass).  

In Australia, the GVM of a 4WD vehicle is the manufacturers maximum net weight of the vehicle. This figure includes the total weight of the car whilst empty, ball load of any trailer being towed, people, fuel, accessories and luggage. 

In contrast to this, the GCM accounts for the maximum combined weight of both the vehicle, and the trailer mass.

here is an equation to help better understand if you need a GVM Upgrade for you vehicle
 

Firstly find out your Factory Payload Capacity: 

Manufacturer’s GVM _____kg

LESS the Kerb weight of Vehicle _____kg  

= Factory Payload capacity _____kg

Lastly find out how much payload you actually have

Payload _____kg 

LESS Weight of passengers & driver _____kg 

LESS Additional liquids _____kg (Eg: extra fuel if fitted with long range tank, water, etc.)

LESS Accessories _____kg

LESS Luggage _____ kg 

LESS Trailer ball load _____kg

= Actual Payload

If you finish on a negative number, you’ll be over your Factory GVM.    

OME offers multiple Federally approved Pre-Registration GVM Upgrades for a variety of vehicles. To find out more about the OME GVM Upgrades please Click here.
 

At ARB We are frequently asked why we don’t do GCM Upgrades. 

As it stands, there is no federal approved legislation in Australia for an increase in GCM to a light vehicle. As a company, ARB is stringent in only offering Federally approved upgrades that are relevant for all states of Australia. The case for ARB to begin offering GCM upgrades relies on the legislation of Australia. GCM upgrades will be considered for development by ARB only in the case that changes are made, and if it is safe, reliable and federally approved.

ARB Celebrates 40 Years

This year at ARB, we’re celebrating our 40th anniversary and we have some big plans in store, with a special new project called Off Road Icons.

In 1975, Anthony Ronald Brown created the first ever ARB bull bar in his back shed. At the time, no one could have predicted how significant that project was, nor the 4WD accessories movement he would set into motion.

40 years on and ARB is undoubtedly an off road icon. To celebrate, we’re selecting four of the most iconic 4WDs of the last four decades, restoring them to their former glory and pitting them up against one of Australia’s most iconic 4WD destinations… the Simpson Desert.

To have your say and help us select the four most iconic 4WDs since 1975, visit our Off Road Icons website and tell us in 25 words or less, which vehicle you think deserves a guernsey and why.

One lucky entrant will win a 47L ARB Fridge Freezer, transit bag and wireless fridge monitor valued at over $1500.

Once you’ve submitted your entry, keep an eye on the web page and our social media channels for tonnes of updates regarding the final vehicle selection, restoration progress and trip preparation.


Introducing our first off road icon

We asked you to help us choose four of the most iconic 4WDs from the last four decades as part of our Off Road Icons project. We couldn’t be more pleased to announce the first Off Road Icons vehicle – the Toyota LandCruiser 40 Series.

The Toyota LandCruiser 40 Series was Toyota’s best selling vehicle in the 60’s and maintained a healthy 24-year lifespan on the market. More than one million were sold around the world with 121,000 sold in Australia. The reason for its popularity was clear; it was the first four wheel drive designed with the everyday family in mind. Its durability stands the test of time with many seen on the roads today. In a testament to its popularity, in 2006 Toyota developed the FJ Cruiser, a modern version of its old counterpart.

The Toyota LandCruiser 40 Series, Australia’s first standard family wagon, known for its versatility and reliability, it’s no wonder it was voted in as one of Australia’s most iconic 4WDs.

Key Stats:

  • 24 years in production, from 1960 – 1984
  • The most versatile vehicle of its era
  • One million sold around the world (121,000 in Australia)
  • Short (FJ40), middle (FJ43) and long (FJ45) wheelbase variants
  • Used by farmers, rural drivers and everyday Australian families

Unique Features:

  • Removable doors, roof, and windshield
  • Folding jump seats allowed for two more passengers and maximum cargo space
  • Compatible with GM’s small block engines

Next Generation Ford Ranger Announcement

Two iconic brands have joined forces to bring their customers a best-in-class personalisation ahead of the launch of the Next Generation Ford Ranger. A strategic collaboration between Ford and ARB has resulted in customers being offered the best range of accessories for work and play so they can live their life to the fullest.

Endorsed by Ford’s five year, unlimited kilometre warranty (when purchased through a participating Ford dealer), the exclusive partnership between Ford and ARB offers customers peace of mind. All accessories have undergone a rigorous development and validation process by Ford and ARB engineers to ensure they’re fully compatible with the Next Generation Ford Ranger, ensuring optimal integration and performance.

The collaboration first began between Ford and ARB in early 2019, with ARB and Ford engineers joining forces to design, test, and validate before ultimately manufacturing over 160 Ranger-specific parts.

Spanning the entire family of ARB accessories and parts, we are proud to begin to introduce the finished product of the FLA (Ford Licenced Accessories) program.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing further details on each of these products, so make sure you follow our social media channels for up to date information:


GME Partnership to Support Beyond Blue

ARB and GME believe in the importance of communication. With this signature blue antenna, they will be donating $40 from each sale to Beyond Blue to support life-changing mental health initiatives.

After GME released the pink McGrath Foundation antenna, ARB’s Facebook page was flooded with comments asking for a version to support Beyond Blue. ARB and GME mutually agreed on the prospect of supporting a charity that has worked so hard, especially over recent times. In consultation with Beyond Blue, they have produced a blue antenna and are donating an impressive $40 from each sale directly to the mental health charity.

In a time of uncertainty, instability and isolation, the power of communication and connection has been more apparent than ever. “While mental health has always been a serious and important topic, the last 18 months have been particularly difficult. At ARB, we consider ourselves to be very fortunate to be associated with an activity that often provides people an opportunity to escape the daily grind, to destress and to spend much needed time with family and friends. Partnering with GME on this project was the perfect match given the importance of communication for those who battle with mental health. We can only hope that a wave of signature blue antennas on the tracks provides a reminder amongst our 4WDing fraternity to always keep the lines of communication open, start talking, keep talking,” says Mark Berger, Brand Marketing Manager.

Beyond Blue is a well-known mental health organisation that focuses on people affected by depression, anxiety and suicide. They provide information and support for all Australians to achieve their best possible mental health.

The antenna is a 6.6dBi 1200mm antenna and has an interchangeable whip with the AS4700 series. Included in the package is the blue radome antenna, the antenna assembly, a 4.5m coaxial cable and plug as well as the FME to PL259 adaptor.

A limited edition antenna, you can purchase this product exclusively from any ARB store or stockist while stocks last. To contribute towards Beyond Blue directly, all ARB stores and stockists have a QR code on their counter for customers’ convenience.

If you need support, please contact Beyond Blue directly on 1300 22 4636 or visit their website.
