GWM Tank 500 Modification Guide

Tank 500 modification guide

Build the Tank 500 for long-distance comfort and confident touring.

Start with the way you carry people and equipment, then confirm market specification, model year, trim and powertrain before choosing cabin, touring, protection and suspension upgrades.

Plan the vehicle as a touring system, not a list of isolated parts.

A larger touring vehicle benefits from a clear load plan. Check passenger use, cargo, towing, roof equipment, recovery gear and suspension as one connected build.

Compare products for the powertrain grouping in your market.

Our catalogue currently groups Tank 500 products under Petrol and Hybrid. Confirm the exact model designation and product fitment notes before ordering.

Five checks before ordering

Verify the vehicle before you verify the part.

Tank 500 variants and seating or equipment layouts can differ across markets. A shared model name does not confirm shared body hardware, electronics or powertrain packaging.

Ask about fitment
  1. 01Market & version

    Confirm the country specification and the exact model designation shown on the vehicle documents.

  2. 02Powertrain

    Confirm Petrol or Hybrid plus the precise badge or system name. Do not assume every market variant shares fitment.

  3. 03Model year & trim

    Check year, trim, sensors, cameras, wiring and factory equipment that may affect installation.

  4. 04Existing build

    List fitted bars, racks, tow equipment, suspension, wheels and electrical accessories before adding another part.

  5. 05Installation & rules

    Use a qualified installer where required and check the registration authority and modification rules that apply where the vehicle is used.

Reliable references

Check manufacturer information and local requirements.

Official model availability and specifications can change by country. VSB 14 is administered through Australian registration authorities, and state or territory requirements may also apply.

Tank 500 FAQ

Common fitment questions.

Use these answers to narrow the catalogue, then confirm the individual product before checkout.

Does every Tank 500 accessory fit every seating or powertrain version?

No. Seating layout, market specification, powertrain, model year, trim and existing equipment can change mounting points, packaging, wiring and clearance.

Is choosing Petrol or Hybrid enough to confirm fitment?

No. Petrol and Hybrid are catalogue groupings. Confirm the exact vehicle designation and compare it with the product description, variants and installation notes.

Can I plan roof, towing and suspension upgrades together?

Yes, but treat them as one load and clearance plan. Check payload, roof limits, tow requirements, ride height, tyre clearance and the interaction between each installed part.

Do suspension, lighting or towing changes need approval?

Requirements depend on the modification and where the vehicle is registered or used. Check the relevant registration authority, VSB 14 where applicable and a qualified installer before proceeding.

What should I send for a fitment check?

Send the product link, market specification, powertrain, model year, seating layout, trim and clear photos of the installation area and existing accessories.
