Wow, so in PA, if you have say an 8klb truck and 12klb trailer you'd have to register your truck like a commercial vehicle? For the total combined weight of 20klbs?
That stinks. Tax tax tax.....
No....it's typical forum misinformation.
In PA the truck registration is seperate from the trailer registration.
Trailer registrations only have 3 classifications by weight.
3000 or less, 3001 to 10000, 10001 and over.
You do not register based on GCW.
Now if hauling commercially its an entire different ballgame, but even then the tractor and trailer are registered separately but there are other hoops to jump through.
