I’ve up-Plated my Crafter from 3500 to 3900 with SV tech if that is what you mean? It was just a paper exercise but allows me a far greater payload.without being “overweight”
They provide all the necessary paperwork/plate etc and you submit the request to DVLA.
Manufacturers adapt models to each markets requirements, so frequently a van rated at 3500kgs is actually capable of larger weights without any change. Hence the market in Up-plating and down-plating.
offical DVLA load rating, in fact no physical changes required to van. The van has a very full camper conversion and is a heavy base vehicle as it is a kombi and 4motion, adding on 4 passengers, bikes, the dog etc I was teetering on the edge of being over the legal weight so I thought I’d see what I could do.
