Quote: Here in Michigan we buy a permanent plate, good till you sell the trailer. If you buy another trailer you have to buy another permanent plate. Truck plates are based on dollar value. I have no idea how you guys can change the GVW on a trailer or truck
You can go to the DMV and tell them what you want it to be. Then you pay according to the weight.
In VA, that's for trucks and trailers. That doesn't mean you can tow 50,000 pounds on a single axle trailer from Harbor Freight.
If you register over the rating for your tires, etc., you're still in deep doo-doo if you're pulled over exceeding what the tires can hold.
