    The commercial vehicle (LCV) represents a variety of body types, including utes, vans and light trucks, all of which are designed for professional use to carry loads and/or tow. Key considerations for commercial vehicles include cargo space, payload, towing capacity and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), which take priority over comfort and design.

    Chevrolet Silverado 2024 review: 2500 HD - GVM test
    7.5/10
    The combined sales of GMSV’s 1500 and 2500 HD Silverado offerings currently represent more than 36 per cent of the Over $100K pick-up segment, in which extensive local remanufacturing of US-sourced vehicles to RHD ensures six-figure price tags.Clearly, these large Chevrolets, which are primarily designed for carrying and towing heavy things, have established a strong foothold in Australia.We recently trialled the latest MY24 version of the biggest Silverado from a tradie’s perspective, to see if this giant could be a superior alternative to local one-tonne ute offerings in the dual roles of weekday worker and weekend leisure machine.[read-more-default-title]Don't worry about large American pick-ups such as the Ram 1500, Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra and Chevrolet Silverado.

    Foton T5 2024 review: Pantech
    7.6/10
    It’s still early days for battery-electric workhorses in Australia but Chinese brand Foton is making a concerted push into the zero-tailpipe-emissions commercial-vehicle market with its T5 EV.The Beijing-based manufacturer, which has topped commercial-vehicle sales in China for almost two decades, is offering the ‘new energy’ electric T5 cab-chassis with a choice of GVM ratings: 4500kg for car licence operation or 6000kg for Light Rigid truck licence holders.With a claimed fully-loaded driving range of 180km and unique-for-EV 3500kg braked tow rating, Foton says the T5 EV can also provide fleets with upfront and operational cost reductions of around 20 per cent compared to diesel. And it can be fitted with a wide variety of service bodies, including its own ready-to-work Tipper variant.[read-more-default-title]Trucks you only need a car licence to driveBetter late than never?

    Ford Transit Custom 2025 review
    8.1/10
    Everybody knows the bestselling vehicles in Australia are utes.It’s been like that since the middle of last decade when the Toyota HiLux and more latterly, the Ford Ranger steamrolled their way to the top of the pops.But did you know in the UK in 2021 and 2022 the number-one vehicle was the recently-superseded Ford Transit Custom?Now there’s the all-new, fifth-gen version (and the second to wear the Custom suffix), arriving at your Ford dealers now across Australia, targeting the Hyundai Staria Load and the evergreen Toyota HiAce amongst a troop of others.A pioneer amongst mid-sized vans, the British-born, Türkiye-built Transit Custom has long traded on European engineering – with premium pricing to match.Is the newcomer worth the extra money?

    Best EV 4WDs available in Australia
    Electric 4X4 anyone? It kind of makes sense that, as the rest of the car market transits towards an EV future, that the four-wheel drive market would, too. It is, of course, not that simple. The term all-wheel drive electric car is not specific enough, just for starters.
