Chevy 2500 HD: 5,500kg GVM, 210L Tank, Built Pre-Rego

He ran out of payload in his old 1500 — so we got him sorted, pre-registration, in a brand new HD Chevy 2500. Dean walks you through a full touring build on one of the most popular NB2-rated HD trucks on the market, from the very first sales call right through to handover. This is what dialling in the right platform before it's even registered looks like. What you'll see in this build: ✅ The pre-rego process — why we get the platform right before registration ✅ Front-to-rear walkaround with Dean ✅ Under-bonnet power board, isolator and Switch Pro setup ✅ How we pre-stage parts before the vehicle enters the workshop ✅ Stage 1 done right, ready for future stages Key fitted kit: ✅ BDS 3-inch suspension kit (set to ~2.5") with Fox 2.5 remote-res adjustable shocks ✅ Method 305 NV wheels in bronze, 18x9 +18 ✅ Yokohama Geolandar G016 tyres, 35x12.5x18 (128 load rating) ✅ Outback Kitta's pre-runner front bar + Carbon 15K wireless winch ✅ Colour-coded flares + kickback mud flaps ✅ 210L long-range fuel tank (up from the factory tank) ✅ BDB accessory rack, Max Trax, solar, UHF + Starlink Mini on a gorilla mount ✅ AIR IQ airbag control + ignition-fed Anderson plugs This Chevy 2500 sits in the NB2-rated category with a 5,500kg GVM — plenty of payload to play with, and we can go larger on the rear axle load rating if a canopy setup is in mind. We build every truck to be legal and engineered for the way you'll actually load and tow it. Not sure which truck suits you?
