Our private use vehicle titles have a line for registered weights but its blank in this state.
It is also blank in Idaho but there are 3 classes. Even if you pay for 26K it isn't always printed for a non-commercial vehicle. Mine has only been printed on the registration 2 or 3 times in the last 7 years. I have never seen it printed on my cars with the 0-8,000 rating.
Idaho also doesn't advertise that there are multiple weight classes for non-commercial, but they do ticket for it.
Anything with an RV sticker (5er, TT, etc) doesn't count towards your weight thou. So a 6,500 lb pickup with 400 lbs of people, 1,000 lbs of TW can be legal with the 0-8,000 lb registration even if his GCW is 12,000 as long as his trailer has an RV sticker. Change out the camper for a dump trailer and the same weights can get you a ticket.
One really easy way cops can tell if you are registered for 0-8,000 or higher is by the date of expiration. If you register for 8,000+ your tags always expire in December and under 8,001 can expire any month.
My point is that it may be very difficult to find non-commercial weight classes in some states but they might exist even if there isn't a lot of documentation.
