German term
"einfach mehr drauf"
German to English
Marketing
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
trailers
this is a slogan for a large trailer manufacturer - a clever play on words that you can fit a larger load onto them and that they have more going for them, are better than the others. Can anyone think of how I can express both of these ideas in a snappy slogan in English? Thanks

Better keep it short. In this way it could also be vaguely associated with "there's more to them / they bring(offer) you more.."

We're loaded!
this would, of course be US English and indicates, beyond the obvious load-carrying capacity, wealth, luck and abundance.
For some, it could mean they're drunk, but that is a secondary and not as popular expression. Besides, one hardly ever says it about oneself.

We can pull it off
I like it! It implies the physical (move) as well as the metaphorical.

Go for more
Current English slogan is "loads more" (Customer website). The German expression "Einfach mehr drauf" includes more payload, but also connotates with "mehr drauf (auf dem Kasten) haben"=more skills, more gifted.
To sum up the appetite for more load and for more challenges I would propose: Go for more.
