I have found all states are different, in Ma it didn't matter as long as it didn't have dual wheels you could have a regular car plate on the vehicle. once it has 5 tires or more they call it commercial and then goes by the gvwr.
For years I would agree with everyone about the 250/350 difference but the way things are going I like having my door tag show I am within my limits.
A valid point there. Times, they are a changin' and it would stink to buy a new truck and have more states suddenly start checking private rigs like CA does.
On the DRW thing, I've been in contact with a few congressmen in our state to try and fix the commercial tag requirement for DRW's. There are two bills addressing this currently before ways and means. I'm guessing they won't pass due to revenue loss for the state, but remain hopeful.
