according to the clerk, "truck" plates only go on trucks with gvwrs higher than 7500 lbs. my truck's gwvr is 8900 lbs and i was given standard issue plates. unless she screwed up, i suppose that means it's up to you as long as you are using the truck privately. trucks with "truck" plates also don't get property tax relief.
Pretty much the right answer! I have them on my F450, no tax relief. Its all about weight. I can have the weight changed and put regular plates but if the right cop stopped me when I was towing I would get LOTSO fines.
Also Truck tags have NOTHING to do with height laws, thats a old myth. Only ones that Help with height Laws are FARM USE, meaning is not driven on the road that much.
