Pedders' towing and touring equipment

When it comes to setting up your four-wheel drive for Towing or Touring, Pedders Suspension & Brakes are the experts and can specify your vehicle with a total undercar solution designed to enhance your vehicle’s handling and braking performance.

Loading up your vehicle with heavy duty accessories like a bulbar, winch, canopy, underbody protection, plus all of your cargo can leave your four-wheel drive’s suspension struggling to keep up with the additional load. Or worse, you could exceed your vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Mass rating, resulting in fines and possible voidance of insurance.

This is where a tailored Pedders GVM+ Upgrade can significantly boost your four-wheel drive’s Payload capacity as well as improve it’s handling performance. Pedders GVM+ Upgrade kits are specially engineered to restore handling balance to heavily-loaded vehicles, as well as enhance off-road performance.

Pedders engineer their GVM kits to meet all Federal Government requirements, so they are fully legal and compliant Australia-wide.

They also offer multiple spring options depending on the vehicle and load requirements, meaning they don’t offer a one-size fits all solution. When you opt for a Pedders GVM+ Upgrade, their team will tailor a spring package to suit you and your four-wheel drive, allowing it to sit level while maintaining ride comfort.

Because Pedders understands that many vehicles equipped with GVM+ Upgrades will be used for touring or four-wheel driving, each Pedders GVM kit is fitted with the brand’s premium Foam Cell Shock Absorber. This not only helps with ride comfort on rough terrain, but it enhances off-road performance.

Pedders Foam Cell Shock Absorbers are designed to eliminate any mixing of the shock absorber oil with air, meaning bubbles cannot form within the shock, allowing the shock absorber to maintain optimal damping control even over rough corrugations.

Understandably not every vehicle needs a GVM+ Upgrade, particularly if you’re only towing occasionally, which is why Pedders also offers a range of suspension lift kits, levelling springs, and air bag suspension to suit many popular 4x4s.

Loading up your four-wheel drive with heavy duty accessories can also put a serious strain on your vehicle’s braking system. Hot brakes and a soft pedal are a big warning sign that you need an upgrade.

Pedders offer an impressive range of braking products suited for towing and touring vehicles, including performance rotors and pads and full conversion kits.

Pedders slotted brake rotors are more resistant to heat fade than original equipment components, thanks to the specially designed curved slot design which improves cooling efficiency.

While Pedders Kevlar Ceramic brake pads are formulated to enhance your vehicle’s braking system by providing more consistent performance during repeated stops. These rotors and pads are available from Pedders for many popular 4x4 vehicles.

If your vehicle has factory rear drum brakes, then consider upgrading to a Pedders Rear Disc Brake Conversion kit.

This kit from Pedders completely transforms your rear drums to more efficient discs and calipers, providing a serious boost in braking performance and more consistent stopping power, which is ideal for vehicles that tow or carry heavy loads.

Beyond this, Pedders also offer their Big Brake Conversion kit which includes high performance calipers featuring multi-piston design, enlarged brake rotors, braided brake lines, and Kevlar Ceramic performance brake pads.

Pedders Big Brake Kits have been proven to reduce stopping distance significantly compared to factory brakes and are available for select 4x4 models including Toyota HiLux & LandCruiser, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max and more.

So if you’re loading up your rig for work, touring Australia, or towing a big caravan, check out Pedders Suspension & Brakes and enhance your vehicle’s handling and braking performance for a Better Journey on the road.
