It’s GVW not GVWR. Back to my point of needing a truck without truck camper, law or not, almost all trucks are under 10K GVW unless you are hauling a significant load.

In Oregon, it says “rated more than 10000 GVW”. I believe ODOT sets the guidelines and they run this site: https://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/Chain-Law
They probably won’t hassle pickups because of antiquated laws that were originally designed for “trucks”.
