Ok, I've got a question. I got my 06 2500 CTD in July and registered, and she told me I needed the weighted tags. (i'm in asheville by the way) So I was like ok, figured it out the jeep and trailer roughly and was quite shocked when she told me the figure. So I went with 9k, or 8k, I can't remembed. They told me the truck was 6300. I figured I "might" tow once a month and have only had the jeep on once since then so its no big deal IMHO. Anyways, I also wanted a customized tag. (diving one) and I left with a weighted tag and they sent me my new on in the mail. Well the new one has no weighted description anywhere. Just figured it was linked electronically through the "system" But I thought it would also throw the HP off the scent since it didn't say weighted they would think to suspect it was over weight.
Also I've seen some F250s around w/o weighted tags ( I thought it was a 3/4 ton and up requirement) and some 1/2 tons w/ weighted tags and got really confused. I think there is a guy here I work with that has a 3/4 w/ regular tag. I suppose that would lend its self to the DMV not informing people maybe?
You'd think with these ridiculous weight fees they could atleast fix the roads with it. I26 SUUUUUUCKs around here. I drove the jeep on it once when I got here and thought it was going to fall apart (long story on jeep condition, but its road worthy) also road works around here in general seem to be pretty sketchy.
I guess if I get the jeep finished up I'll add some more weight. In the mean time I think i'll be ok. "knock on wood"
