Frankly, I think its INSANE to require commercial plates on a pickup truck just because it weighs more than 6000 lbs, but that's the stupid law. I found this document on the DMV web site (https://dmv.ny.gov/forms/mv114.pdf) which goes into more detail into the insanity.
I also just discovered that the max tongue weight of the RAM 1500 is 1,275 lbs and not 1000 lbs. Which helps a bit.
The heaviest trailer we are considering has a GVWR of 7495 lbs and UVW of 5625 lbs, so we should be okay???
I'm also planning to use a WDH, like Blue OX Sway Pro.
