Looking at building an American Truck?

24/07/2026

Is a 1500 enough for your van — or are you fooling yourself?

It's the most common question we get. And the answer? Sometimes yes. Often no.

A family of four plus a 3.5-tonne van puts around 1,100 kg on the truck before you pack the luggage. That's where the payload margin quietly disappears.

Passengers count. Fuel counts. Canopy, drawers, batteries, recovery gear — it all counts. And so does the tow-ball download from your van. Every kilogram comes off the same number.

Be honest with yourself before the deposit. Run the numbers. Check your compliance plate. Don't guess.

We built this RAM 2500 setup two years ago — now every workshop's copying it.

This is the original. The one that works. The one that's held up.

Staged build. Engineered properly. GVM certified. Still towing 4.5 tonnes across the country two years later.

The difference between doing it first and doing it right: ours is still on the road, fully compliant, no comebacks.

Want the build the others are copying? We'll show you exactly how we do it.

Your RAM's rated to tow it. That doesn't mean it's legal to tow it.

Tow capacity is one number. Your GVM and your tow-ball download decide whether it's actually legal.

The hidden weight: tow-ball download is around 8–15% of your van's ATM — and it counts against your truck's payload, not your towing capacity.

We engineer and certify the legal pathway for your truck, your van, and your state. Every setup is different.

Trip In A Van chose Big Dog Builds for their Chev 2500 touring rig. Here's why.

Full-time tourers need a truck that works. GVM compliance, quality suspension, touring capability — non-negotiable.

This is their rig. Built to tour, built to last.

RAM 2500 or Chev 2500 HD — which one's right for your tow?

The RAM runs the 6.7 Cummins — it's a torque platform. The Chev 2500 HD brings the GVM/payload and compliance conversation. Both are serious HD heroes.

But the thing that decides it? Your real loaded weight once the van's hitched, passengers are in, and gear's packed.

Stuck between the RAM and the Chev? Grab our free 2026 Buyer Kit — it lays out what actually decides it for your tow.

A 1500 or a 2500 — which one do you actually need?

Half the buyers we talk to are in the wrong class — both directions. A 1500 is plenty for some, nowhere near enough for others.

Here's how to tell which one you actually are, before the deposit. Class depends on real load, not the image you want.

Brisbane 4x4 Show — our Cypress Grey Chev 2500 stole the spotlight.

This is Bart's truck. Same build, same colour. You can order this.

Dean on camera: 'Cypress Grey was the standout. People couldn't stop asking about it.'
