PICK-UP TRUCKS -
PASSENGER REGISTRATION WEIGHT LIMIT INCREASES
DMV has published regulations that will increase the weight limit from 5,500 pounds to 6,000 pounds for
customers to receive passenger registrations. Pick-up trucks may be registered as a passenger vehicle, at the
customer’s option, if it now meets the following criteria:
Unladen weight of 6,000 pounds or less and
•
exclusively used for non-commercial purposes and
•
no business advertising.
The rule will also apply to leased or rented pick-up trucks as long as the customer certifies that such truck will be
used only for non-commercial purposes.
The trend to use pick-up trucks as “family” vehicles continues to increase throughout the state. Added options
sometimes raised the weight too much for customers to receive a passenger registration and commercial plates
kept these vehicles off the State’s parkways.
