The argument about pulling trailers is a weak one as the trailer has a lic. plate that allows for identification. Which is the real intent of the law we are discussing. Law enforcement has to be able to identify you as you are on the road.
I commonly tow an un-tagged utility trailer. Where I live, plates are not needed on trailers under 1800 lbs. I remain legally unidentifiable from the rear, and the nice short tongue keeps identification from the side pretty questionable as well. I see no weakness in the trailer argument. (I suppose some of you will recommend counterfeiting the truck plate to attach to the trailer, or moving the truck plate to the trailer when towing:))
