I know a landscaper who was driving his personal, not used for the business, F350 top trim 4wd pickup towing a landscaper trailer with one zero turn on it one weekend. Know that registration comes through too light to haul squat unless the owner bumps the GVW up, a trooper pulling him over for a look-see. And yes, just the one mower on that trailer put him over the base registered limit and the state made money off of him. Upping the GVW or combined GVW doesn't increase the vehicle's hauling capability one iota. It's just man-made revenue grabbing pen & paper law. has nothing to do with public safety. Just a way for the king's men to gather more tax

If he lowered the GCVWR I can see that . My 3500 is rated to tow 15k the GCVWR is 25.5 a ford F350 would have similar capacities.
