I think you're confusing weight RATING with the actual weight.
Your truck needs to be registered for at least what the truck and trailer together weigh as it goes down the road (I.e. loaded).
For example, if your truck is rated for 6,000 KG (13,200 pounds) and your trailer is rated for 4,700kg (10,500 pounds) you have a combined weight rating of 10,700 KG (23,700 pounds).
However if your truck only has a curb (actual) weight of 3,600 KG (8,000 pounds) and the trailer only has a curb (actual) weight of 3,000 KG (6,600 pounds) then your combined ACTUAL weight is 6,600 KG (14,600 pounds), so your truck would need to have a RGW of more than that 6,600 KG enough to cover any extra stuff you may pack along.
