Wow, soooo much wrong information here!
If the manufacturers GVWR (in the door), the GVWR of the truck plus the GVWR of the trailer (except boat trailers or RV's), the actual weight of the truck, or the actual weight of the truck plus the actual weight of the trailer exceeds 4,500 KG (9,900 pounds) the truck (and any non-exempt trailers it pulls) needs a yellow annual safety inspection. Period.
6,000 KG is the cutoff point for needing a CVOR which is a completely different animal.
