American Icon

The American invasion has begun. High-quality US pickups are now available on the Central Coast with the launch of Performax

Buyers can expect the biggest range of US trucks with offerings from General Motors, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and GMC Sierra Denalli 2500HD, Ford's Super Duty F-250 and the Toyota Tundra all available.

Performax Central Coast is based at the Brian Hilton Motorsport facility at Lisarow and has made the commitment to serve an area from Sydney’s most northern suburbs through to the southern suburbs of Newcastle.

Established as an independent importer, Performax engineers the American built trucks to meet Australian design regulations. The process includes a conversion to right hand drive using state of the art technology such as 3D printing.

"Performax has close to 30 years' experience in importing new US pick-ups and performance cars and converting them to right hand drive with quality componentry and workmanship," said Josh Hilton.

Performax offers absolute quality when it comes to converting these great American pick-ups and what we will be doing is making the dealership a venue that will be more than just somewhere to come and buy a car.

"They have a commitment to delivering original equipment manufacturer (OEM) comparable right-hand-drive vehicles of unmatched quality and we are very proud to be appointed to sell these great machines," he added.

The Silverado boasts an incredible 296kW and 1037Nm or torque from its Duramax 6.6L turbo diesel V8, mated with an Allison 1000 series six-speed transmission to give it a towing capacity of 4.5tonne.

Its GM cousin the Denali shares the Duramax/Allison configuration with a slightly more luxurious interior.

America's best seller for more than a decade, Ford's F-250 is powered by a 6.7L V8 turbo diesel putting out 328kW and 1137Nm of torque, with a five-tonne towing capacity.

For the petrol purists, the Toyota Tundra enters the line up with a 5.7L V8 putting out 284kW and 543Nm, capable of pulling no less than four-tonne.

The Performax range's towing capacity puts conventional utes to shame, making it ideal for heavy duty towing like horse floats and makes light work of even the biggest boats and caravans. All models in the range come with a four-year/120,000km warranty and roadside assist.

So when you're on the hunt for a utility vehicle that is sure to turn heads, look beyond the usual choices and head to the Central Coast's own Performax dealership, where American style and performance waits.
