I dont know how it is there but here every truck is considered commercial but if its for personal use there is a sticker that goes on the plate and if you actually use it for commercial then you need to get a commercial registration (CVOR)
Anything to get more of your money. Car, truck, trailer all mine are $25 here yearlyIn California, every truck has a commercial plate. There are a few things you can do to it to get regular plates. CA charges you by the weight rating. 3/4 ton is a $200 weight fee. 1 tone is more and so on....
My 2500 i am at 265$ annually depending what i register my weight at (recreational is not counted) my dually is 500$ annually registered to 6500kg payload….In California, every truck has a commercial plate.

My 2500 was just over $900 this year. At least it went down a little.My 2500 i am at 265$ annually depending what i register my weight at (recreational is not counted) my dually is 500$ annually registered to 6500kg payload….
Ouch no wonder people are buying 1/2 tons and overloading them lolMy 2500 was just over $900 this year. At least it went down a little.
Bigger brakes stopping a bigger load take more effortRegarding brakes on the HD, I get it that with only 4 small patches of rubber on the road, and increased weight, it will take longer to stop the HD truck. Still, I am a bit surprised that so much effort is needed to push the brake pedal. I would have expected losing the grip sooner, with more modest pedal pressure.
Yes but there is a servo to supply the effort, so I shouldn't have to!?Bigger brakes stopping a bigger load take more effort
BTW, I assume that the HD's come with anti-lock braking systems, as lighter vehicles have for years....
Has anyone heard about anti-lock braking systems being integrated to include the trailer brakes?
This is the truth—I was going to order the 3500, just stiffer leaf springs. I ended up having to get 2500 gas, we are at 8-10mpg but it pulls a tractorVery little weight difference between the 2500/3500, they are basically the same truck with different rear springs. In the Hemi you should see no visible difference in mpg between the 2, they will both be horrible Lol.

I went from a 2019 1500 cc laramie 4x4 6.4 bed 5.7 with 3.21 gears. The truck was fantastic. I loved everything about it. My wife used to love riding in it because she said it was like being on a couch. But the suspension, great as it was for unloaded travel, was to soft for my taste. Our travel trailer was close the limit in weight over all. When I found out I could get 6k$ more for my truck than what I paid for it new, I took advantage and upgraded to a 22 2500 CTS crew cab laramie with a 6.4 bed, 3.73 limited slip rear end. When I first drove my 2500, I was surprised at how soft the brakes were compared to my half ton 5th gen. But as I got used to them, it feels normal now.Brakes are fine, your just not used to driving a 8000lb truck.

Trucks used for for heavy things are literally made for drivers that are used to heavy things.Yes but there is a servo to supply the effort, so I shouldn't have to!?
Somebody said that for a 1 ton here in AZ, it would have to be registered as commercial, and as a result of that, I would be stopped for checks and would have to go into weigh stations along the roads. I called up the MVD and asked. Yes, I would be registered as commercial, and this would add a little to the registration cost. Didn't sound too bad. But I was told to not consider myself commercial on the road, and I should just sail past those spots where a sign says "commercial vehicles stay in the right hand lane for the next 5 miles" and you drive past a stack of cameras etc. I forgot to ask if the plates wiill say "commercial vehicle" or something else that might draw the attention of inspectors elsewhere on the road.
