I can tell your confused. My state doesn't use a gvwr or gvw or gcw or tonnage or any weight number for registration .
Taxes are paid in the registering state any way so my state just weighs axle/tire load numbers unless its a commercial vehicle.
Like I said your registered gvwr doesn't mean krapz here or other states that don't use a gvw/gvwr.

Now... what my point is some keep saying all a the OP has to do is register at a higher GVWR which of course isn't true for all states.

I understand my confusion now. I'm responding to the OP, who lives in California, where weights are registered. I provided guidance to the OP, who lives in California, where weights are registered. My answer was valid to the OP, who lives in California, where weights are registered.

You, on the other hand, gave an answer that isn't relevant to the OP, who lives in California, where weights are registered. Then you got very snarky because you live in a state that doesn't weigh vehicles, unlike the OP, who lives in California, where weights are registered.

Sorry to get in the way of your thread de-railing and unnecessary attitude. It was quite rude on my part.

OP, I'm sorry for giving you advice based upon your situation in the thread that you started to ask for guidance in your situation, who lives in California, where weights are registered...

Yes, in this case the OP bought an F350 thinking he could get a good sized 5er. With the 10,000# GVWR, if he is stopped and weighed in California and is over 10,000, he gets to leave his trailer on the side of the road, until he can get a big enough TV to be within weight.
They have been caught up in the games Ford plays with GVWR for registration purposes. It sounds like CHP is starting to weigh RV’s and if in excess of GVWR, you must leave the trailer until a TV with sufficient GVWR can be brought to tow it away. There are also monetary fines.
