Patrol GU Ute & Wagon
GU Patrol ute was the very first vehicle Lovells developed a GVM upgrade for in response to a state government authority whose vehicles were overweight and banned from use on the roads. Some 30 years later these kits are still available for the owner looking to increase their payload capacity by some 500Kg.
GVM UPGRADE SOLUTION | OEM GVM (Kg) | LOVELLS GVM (Kg) | GCM INCREASE ? |
GU Patrol Ute (Leaf Sprung Rear) (LOVELLS Upgrade) | 3400Kg | 3900Kg | NO |
GU Patrol 3lt Wagon (MOTIV Upgrade) | 3000Kg | 3330Kg | NO |
NOTE:- Nissan's GU Patrol has particularly weak rear spring mounts on their chassis. Under heavy loading conditions it's common for these spring towers to flex and even bend leading to uneven ride height. A spring tower bracing kit MUST be fitted to the car before Motiv Engineering will issue a compliance certificate for a GVM upgrade. You can either have your own bracing added, or we can include a bolt-in kit with the GVM upgrade package for your car.
