Cypress Grey. MY26 Chevy 2500. This colour changes everything.

We shot this colour in May — 6,700 views in three weeks. The market's telling us this is what they want.

Here's why Cypress Grey is the standout: distinctive, premium, photographs well, limited availability. Not black. Not white. Not the usual suspects.

This is what makes a MY26 Chev worth ordering.

Can you legally tow 4.5 tonnes in Australia?

Dean shows the compliance plates on a RAM 2500 and Chev 2500 and explains the GVM reality.

Factory GVM doesn't leave room when a 4.5T van puts 350–450kg on the truck. NB2 GVM upgrades make it legal.

BDS 3" or Carli 5" — which suspension kit wins on a Chev 2500?

Dean breaks it down with real installed examples. BDS 3" with Fox shocks on one truck, Carli 5" with King shocks on another. Side-by-side ride height comparison, component quality, price delta.

The use-case split: BDS 3" is the touring/daily driver sweet spot (ride quality + capability without going extreme). Carli 5" is the max-capability show/off-road setup (higher lift, heavier-duty, premium price).

Dean's verdict: BDS if you're touring. Carli if you're going full send.

Boss Air triple airbag system — here's what it does that single and dual can't.

Triple bags = one per side + one in the middle. Better load distribution. Independent control via AIRIQ from your phone.

Dean walks the system in 60 seconds.

RAM 3500 dually — overkill or smart choice?

Most grey nomads towing 4–4.5 tonne vans don't need it. The single rear wheel RAM 3500 handles that comfortably.

But if you're towing 5+ tonnes, running a fifth-wheel, or hauling heavy business loads? The dually gives you the payload and stability margin you actually need.

The trade-off: wider turning circle, harder to park, higher cost.

Dean breaks it down — when you need dually, when you don't.
