Quote: There is a manufacture max gross combination(towing) weight.My Dodge 3500 is gvw at 12,200lbs my max combination weight is rated at 23,000lbs.I can only licence my total combo weight at the 23,000lbs even though my trailer is rated at 16,000lbs.Last night I was weighed at 20,200lbs,my fine was based on the difference of my truck gross and combo gross weight,8000lbs.
OK, but where do they get that spec from? I also have a 3500 (05 dually) which Dodge claims has a 16,900 lb towing capacity. It also is 12,200 GVW.
Again, it's a different state, but the only way to tag something by CGVW here is a cab and chassis. Pickups over 10K GVW get a December tag (commercial experation even tho it's personal) and don't have a CGVW limit by the tag.
