German term or phrase: "einfach mehr drauf"
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

We're loaded!


Explanation:
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.

Go for more


Explanation:
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.
Enjoy
