Several people including me and others on this forum have had to preregister and pay the difference to be legal when towing our trailers. |
My small town dealer said he was doing me a favor...truck weighed 8,000 and it was a 1 ton so they registered it for 10,000GVW. I re-registered it at my county clerks office. I think they charged me $1 fee. The next years registration went from $70 to $140 I think. Probably would never made any difference if I was just hauling hay or cattle to auction. But in a wreck in Illinois....
