No kidding, and it's only 0900

 

Who is even awake at 9, there's still a 0 in front of that

 

Awe , did I wake you? LOL, only wake up early when camping?

 

I try to

 

One down, 4 tags left. No, I didn’t shoot this one, but I did push it out for my friend who did. 5 miles with nearly 120lbs on my back was rough..

 

Nice!!!!

 

Antlers.. That's a funny lookin hog

 

While I have all the NC guys in one place, can someone clarify what I can tow without a WEIGHTED plate?? I got just the regular "First in Flight" tag, but can I legally tow a small utility trailer?

 

you can “buy” weight on that tag, but you could still be stopped.

Technically the truck weighs right at 4K already, especially with driver and passenger. So you’re “over weight” on the basic tag from the get go.

The likelihood of being stopped hinges more on how you may appear as a business or commercial use.

Hauling your Yardman riding mower on a 5x8 to moms house isn’t likely to get you stopped or looked at, add a trimmer rack and a few other things and now you look like a business and will likely get stopped by Joe Hard-on cop.
Haul your Motocross bikes with signage and all the cool stickers on a trailer and now you’re a competitive operator and could be construed as a business (this is how the off-road guys get nailed)

I’ve got an 8k weighted tag, I get questioned by the unknowing all the time, never been stopped for hauling anything.

pulling a camper/RV is exempt from weighted classification

 

Exactly what Kevin said and to add.

I maxed out the std tag I believe its 9500 lbs or something like that. Weighted tags if you go above the std you have to pay to play. My 20k weighted tags on my old F350 were over $300.

You can tow with the regular tag and will more than likely never be pulled of you are towing for recreation purposes especially with a little mid sized truck. It's the guys hauling big 5th wheels and such like that they target, or race car haulers, or landscapers, etc.

 

Helped me sunshine get this today from Myrtle Beach, been not driven for long time. Fun adventure getting it road ready and driving it home

 

What’s your plan with it?

 

tractorpalooza

 

Make tiny house and live in it

 

Mine came with a marching band...

 

Nice! I was actually considering finding a pull behind but I need to get a truck first. Being in an RV in Colorado was a game changer over sleeping in a tent

 

Getting spoiled. Lol

 

Hell yea. I’m slowly working on phasing out my ultralight gear for car camping gear

I would be so ashamed to hear that from my current self, 8 years ago when I was guiding

 

I feel your pain.

 

At least your not going this route. This is the inside of the RV Jason bought, had to ride over 2 hours in this
