I forgot- You find the GVWR or "rating" of a vehicle on the VIN tag or the manufatuers spec plate, usualy on the door frame of a truck. A 3/4 ton truck rarely has a GVWR over maybe 8800 lbs. A 1 ton up to maybe 14,000 but 12,000 is more like it. If you have a super heavy duty rig it may be a little higher. F-450's are popular in Northern NY and I see some up to 17,999. Some guys have the rigs re-springed and the frame beefed and the tag will reflect that if it's done by a "good" company. Theres a lot to this to do it right and state to state laws add to the muddle. The Federal Law doesn't help much if the State law is more restrictive. From the cops/DOT Inspectors point of view I wish it was simpiler just like all you guys do. At least most of you don't have tha added hassle of trying to deal with Canadian rules too!
