As Marty says, Washington has a formula of tare weight times 1.5 and then rounded up to the nearest even K. So my old 2001.5 with 8800 GVWR was licensed to 12K. The new truck with 11,700 GVWR is licensed to the same 12K, I could have paid a bit more and licensed it at 14K. I was at 11,020 with a light load in the new truck and trailer on my first trip to the Cat Scale. So if we get a larger trailer We may or may not have to do that, as the rear tires may limit it from going over 12k anyway. Chris
