Pickup trucks in Illinois are considered "trucks". I guess because we call them "pickup trucks" so they get B plates which is a truck/van designation of under 8000lb GVWR. Cannot drive on certain streets in Chicago with a truck. Fortunately same price as automobile plates. And to the poster above Yes you will get a ticket driving your nice looking empty pickup truck on those restricted streets. It's a TRUCK.
That does not sound to good either, if I can only get an 8000 gvw plate on a 35 series pickup with over 13-14,000 lbs of gvw available. I'm screwed. So can I assume like here in Wa st, I can get ever increasing tonnage paid for as my gvw is able to go up? Legally here in Wa St, I could go down the road at 32000 or so gvw in a dually pickup. I'm not going to recommend you do so, But from a weight standpoint, it is legal! Just like most SW pickups, I can legally go down the road in the 20-24,000 lb gvw relm. Again, not recommending it.....
