Auto parts stores locally had Ford Escorts in the past, prious today with truck plates, paid for max gvw of 4000 lbs. Allows them to park in truck loading zones etc.
As noted, depending on use of a vehicle, one may want truck or commercial plates on your rig.
I'd still do truck plates, if in states where a truck is pulling a trailer, hauling any kind of load with car plates, you may be over GVW per taxing code, get a ticket, told to Coe back with a truck with correct GVW! IE paid for truck commercial plates. I've heard of that happening.
