Touring Australia requires a vehicle that’s capable, reliable, and comfortable over long distances. The latest Chevrolet Silverado 2500 from CTO Industries delivers on all fronts, blending serious off-road ability with practical touring features. This isn’t a build for show — it’s engineered for real-world adventure and extended travel.

Each upgrade was chosen to enhance reliability, compliance, and functionality, resulting in a truck ready for towing, touring, and off-road excursions without compromise.

Built for Touring — Designed for Australia

Traversing the varied terrain of Australia demands more than basic modifications. Long highways, corrugated tracks, and heavy touring loads all require a well-balanced package. This Silverado combines suspension, GVM, lighting, storage, and electronics into a single, purpose-built setup.

Suspension and GVM Upgrade

The foundation of this build comes from a BDS 3" lift kit and FOX 2.5 Performance Elite shocks. Together, they deliver higher ground clearance without sacrificing highway comfort or off-road control. The engineered GVM upgrade to 5900kg ensures the truck can carry additional touring gear and towing loads legally and safely.

Wheels and Tyres

Equipped with Method MR305 wheels, this Silverado has a strong, aggressive stance suited to its size. The 37" Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tyres offer traction and durability, providing confidence both on highways and off-road tracks.

Bar Work and Recovery Setup

At the front, the Offroad Creative bar with colour-coded finish delivers protection and a clean, factory-style appearance. Recovery is handled by a Carbon 20K winch, providing reliability when navigating challenging trails or assisting other vehicles.

Lighting for Touring and Off-Road Travel

Good lighting is essential for safe touring and off-road excursions. This Silverado is fitted with Ultravision Raptor 120 driving lights for powerful forward visibility. Supplementary LED lights around the vehicle improve peripheral illumination, making night driving and campsite setup safer and more convenient.

Storage and Tray Setup

A Boss Aluminium tray and canopy complete the practical touring configuration. Designed for durability and weight capacity, this setup keeps gear organised and accessible while maintaining a clean, professional look.

Electronics and Touring Accessories

Reliable communication and load management are key to extended touring. The truck includes a GME XRS370 UHF radio and Airbag Man rear airbags with wireless control. These features simplify tyre pressure adjustments, load distribution, and long-distance travel logistics.

Built for Work, Adventure, and Everything in Between

This Silverado 2500 demonstrates that a carefully engineered build can handle heavy-duty work during the week and long-distance touring on weekends. With suspension, GVM, lighting, storage, and electronics all optimised for Australian conditions, it’s a vehicle built for adventure with confidence.
