I’m really trying here but guess I just don’t get it yet. What I’ve discovered so far is its so confusing that no one on earth could possibly understand the laws including those that wrote them. This is one of many problems in this country but that’s another story. As I said below, I hired the hob done so this is now all just for “clarity” of the law. I went out and looked at the doors on the truck, through the owner’s manuals, and again at the registrations. Here’s what confuses me. The door on my truck does indeed say GVWR 8800 lbs. What exactly does this mean? Can I not legally have a truck /trailer combo over 8800lbs no mater what its registered for. The police I talked to said they would just look at the registration and if that was enough. “You’re good as gold” In the owners manual I finally found a small paragraph that listed my ¾ ton truck as equipped at GCWR 18000 lbs. So does this mean I can have a truck/trailer combo up to 18000lbs even though the door sticker says GVWR 8800lbs. Again then what is the registered weight for????? Why is there no GCWR even shown on the door?? Wouldn’t this be the more critical figure?? I also found an old registration from the previous owner of the 1-ton truck. The registered weight was indeed 26000lbs. I couldn’t find any GCVR in any of the manuals with that truck. I also found an old trailer registration in it for a trailer registered for 23000lbs. I have no idea what kind of license that owner had but thought it was interesting. Thanks for all the info.
