Just relocated to FL from NY, registered my 3500 at DMV and I can set any GVWR that I want. All pickups over 5K lbs empty are commercial here. DMV told me that the GVWR is a mfg recommendation, I to...

Whoa -- I get it ... was a multi-state "person" for several years, and chose MA as home state for a variety of reasons. MA and FL, but finally went over to the light-side and chose Florida.
It's taken me six months to get a Florida license. Six trips to the DMV for certificates each time, "Oh, I forgot to tell you this", and "That one is no good, you need "xxx" with your address on it." Almost went crazy trying to get a license and still don't have it. One more document !! AND, the DMV person said, "That birth certificate is no good, its too old." WHAT? I wish my birth certificate was younger than me, but am not sure exactly how to do that.
I've owned a home here since 2010, and have my truck registered here too. but, NO driver's license yet. Good thing my MA license is good two more years. May get my Florida license by then.
I brought my birth certificate (too old) my property deed, my truck registration, my military discharge, my military retirement ID card, my Mass License, and my DAV veteran card, most all with my picture and same name on it.
Still was not enough -- get this -- she wanted a utility bill (which is about as easy to produce on a PC as anything) and I'd like to see anyone 'forge' the ID that I carry ... pretty tough.
BTW: My 2500 GM is considered a "heavy truck" -- renews one or two years for $106 per year if I go in, $116 if I mail it in. Pretty odd ... guess the people that process mail for the DMV get paid more than the counter people - based on my experience, they should, as the counter people can't figure out why my birth certificate is as old as I am. Go Figure? Still, it makes me laugh, because if we can't laugh we'd go crazy.
Welcome to Florida -- you'll love the weather except in the summer, where you can go anywhere else you want. :) :) :) M44
