Weighted tag

Just have a queation is anybody on here running a weighted tag because when i purchased my tacoma they said i had to have weighted tag and i just got everything done at tag place yesterday and they told me i had to have weighted tag to i seen a 2016 tacoma same color yesterday and it didnt have weighted tag any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Welcome but WTF is a weighted tag?

 

Your license plate tag says weighted on it

 

Okay I have no idea what state you are in but regardless you should not be paying any oversized or weighted tag on a tacoma. Someone screwed up. Same happened to me in NV when I registered my truck. They typed that my truck weighs 55,000 or some b.s. and wanted $600 for registration. Look at your registration at what they claim your vehicle weighs. DMV screwed up.

 

Pennsylvania gives you a class 2 sticker to put by your inspection sticker. Nobody does though

 

Ok ill post the weight and what they put the weight at on the registration im in nc i had a 03 tundra before my tacoma and never had to have a weighted tag

 

In WI our tags have letters for the weight limit. Tacos almost always get a "A" (the lowest) that is only on the rear tag not the front.

Welcome to TW!

 

Your truck weighs roughly 4200 - 4500 pounds. Let's see what the state tries to say it weighs.

 

Our tags are for the GVWR. Vehicle plus max payload.

 

copy that

So, 5800 pounds, or somewhere thereabouts

 

All trucks in WI get weight tags. As do Cargo vans and some SUVs. I've even seen them on a few CUVs. It has to do with the potential wear and tear a certain vehicle can do to the road. And the vehicles weight has something to do with that.

 

Take a look at what they listed the weight of the vehicle at. Like I said they screwed mine up in NV and when I got them to correct it the price dropped to half the price. I knew it was wrong when they told me what I owed and inquired as to why but you know DMV! So I just paid it and looked after and sure enough they added a 0 to the weight. I expect the same happened with yours.

 

Well according to this it might be legit if you told them you might tow.

All trailers in North Carolina must have some form of plate on the trailer itself. The weighted tag needs to be on the truck. Private, noncommercial pickup trucks, registered with regular “First in Flight”-type license tags, may trailer a combined total load of up to 9,000 pounds.Aug 17, 2016

Now if you never tow anything then you should not have to have it but if what I read is correct if the truck and your load are in excess of 9K then you run the risk of being ticketed for being overweight in NC without the weighted tag. I would say you would be pretty safe without it!

 

Im in nc

 

Hence the reason I posted the NC law.

 

It makes no sense i paid taxes yesterday and the tag oddice told me i have to have weighted because the weight of the truck plus if i decide to pull a trailer ive pulled two trailers with my tacoma i could understand if i pulled a trailer everyday but i dont ive got friends who habe full size chevrolets and there tags arnt weighted

 

What does your registration claim your truck weighs? I doubt you are required to have that tag. I am sure your DMV screwed up.

 

I agree with you JJ customs

 

I think it said 5000 something on my regiatration
