Maybe overweight???
I just spoke with a chap towing a brand new 39’ Cedar Creek 5er on his “maiden” voyage. His TV was a 2009 Chevy 2500 SRW, DMAX. He told me his new 5er weighed about 16500#. The 5er was a beautiful uni...

Cummuns. I could not find that. It use to be tare weight times 1.5 and then rounded up to the next even thousand. They licensed my 2500 at 12k. If I have the kayak rack and kayaks I am at 10k or slightly over. So I am not going to argue about it.

That was how it was explained to me. The equation works for your 12G. Your truck probably had a factory weight of around 6,600# so go to the next ton, that is 8K then add 4K then you are at 12K. Bummer for me is they add extra "FEE" for commercial since I am over 12K licensing. In reality the 14K is actually good if I were ever to be weighed. Very unlikely tho.
If my truck were to have had a factory weight of 7,999# instead of 8,020# I would be paying for 12K in licensing like you.
If I used what you are saying 8,020# X 1.5= 12,030# then to the next thousand would put me at 13,000# license fee.
