Cliffs?

c plate existing for trucks 8-10k lbs that aren't commercially owned, and no inspection necessary.

used to "need" a D plate for anything over 8k lbs.... and that meant inspections.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Thats a nice perk

How many people put D plates on there trucks? When I bought my excursion the people at the dmv didn’t know what I was taking about when I asked them if I needed d plates, I told them I tow with it and the lady said b plates are fine lol ok it probably weighs 8k lbs with just my family in it

 

[EmersonHart13]

And when you get pulled over the cop will tell you it isn't the DMVs job to understand your truck.

Sad but true, welcome to IL.

I guess I’ve never been pulled over, the dealership put b plates on my dads 2500hd also that pulls a 9500lb boat lol

quite a few i feel like... i mean legally basically any crew cab diesel truck is going to be at or over 8k lbs without much anything in it/behind it. around here most any diesel truck is going to have a D plate it seems.

And then new trucks especially... anytime we buy a new truck for work, if it's over a half ton/1500 anything, the dealer won't ever let us plate it as a B plate... we have transit vans that are gas non turbo, normal height, normal length, that don't weigh shit, running around with D plates on them.

ill likely get these C plates come july when my wisco plates expire.

yeah i feel like with the distances/roads he tows on he could be asking for trouble at some point.

the dealer i used to work for gets fucked with on tollways ALLL THE TIME for weight.

He runs through the I pass I’m guessing but goes through a bunch of tolls up to Racine and back which is only really 4-6 times a year

So technically if I’m pulling a 5000lb boat with my f150 I should be running d plates

If the boat is in the bed of your truck and your truck weight is over 10k lbs then technically yes.

If it's on a trailer I doubt you have much tongue weight to make the truck weigh in at any number worth being worried about

Now if I had my truck hooked to my boat and a thousand lbs of gear in my truck and boat somehow had a thousand pounds of tongue weight and the truck weighed in at ten k then yes d plates technically

The dealer runs ipass lanes also

But they get pulled over by state and told to wait at the next tollbooth til portable scales can show up

As long as ur boat trailer is plated for over 5k you're good

[MENTION=19]Yaj Yak[/MENTION] this is the info I was going to send u last week lol. Sorry bud

Ok so it’s if the truck itself weighs over 10k? Tongue weight included, I was thinking truck and trailer

Speaking of new laws and plates....I did notice that Class C vehicles (up to 26000 lbs) can get a safety sticker good for 1 year rather than the typical 6 months.

Pretty much spot on...........But you can always educate the people who dont know without fucking with their wallets or drivers license.

YOU DO NOT NEED B/D PLATES ON AN EXCURSION! It is considered an SUV and can be plated as a passenger vehicle. SUVs have the option of either/or, I don't know why anyone would EVER go through the cost/hassle of plating it as a truck.

How about if you have a C plate on the truck and are pulling a trailer? is the truck required to have a safety inspection??

not that I'm aware of but also depends on the trailer afaik.
