Hi Willy,
Thanks for the info I'll check it again to see if I need a safety or not, the way I read it is if your truck GVWR on the door post manufactures plate is over 9,900lbs gross vehicle weight rating (mine is 11,500lbs)you need a yearly safety the vehicle automatically becomes a commercial vehicle because of the GVWR not that you use it for commercial but by weight definition,you can't change the vehicle GVWR on the door post but you can change the vehicle registered gross weight which effects the price you pay for your plate sticker.
They certainly don't make it easy for the regular guy to follow these regulations thats for sure....have a good weekend.
