Fixed 10,000 lb. GVWR Package and California Registration

[toadster]

There is a form you can fill out declaring that you won't operate the vehicle above 10k GVW. Meaning, total combined weight of truck and load not to exceed 10k. That effectively limits the legal load capacity, but also excludes it from additional CVRA fees. It sounds like that might be the form you received.

very nice! https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/form/declaration-of-gvw-cgw-reg-4008-pdf/

that's $332/year cost savings for registration...

my buddy pays ~$1,300/year for registration on his F350 Tremor
this could bring it under $1k... stupid CA, I want 49-state registration fees

That must have been the doc that I received. Didn't remember the deets at the time, just knew that I had an option to register at the lower GVW, which I did.

Is this the form needed once a camper is added to convert from commercial vehicle plates to regular plates as well?

I’m im Cali right now, bay area. I see more diesel tremors here than i do in New Jersey. All polished Platinums with surfer bros inside chillin with five open windows and a sun roof. Kinda funny, it’s deff. a status thing. I love visiting the bay area, but i’d never live here.

I live here, and I have a platinum lol. Definitely not a surfer, hell, I can barely swim.

Welcome back to the west coast. Tons of Tremors in my area north of Sacramento, and a majority are diesel. Enjoy your visit!

Glad you're here! Hope you have a great trip and see lots of new stuff. I lived in the bay area for most of my life until I moved east to Auburn. I wouldn't go back now, probably couldn't afford the move any way. Once you leave, you can never go back. Unless you're in Hotel California, then you can never leave.

This place is special to me, for many reasons. This is my 20th + visit in last 20 years. For one, i proposed to my future wife here on one of our hikes near Pacifica (Grey Whale Cove Trail, near that tree), now we went back there with our kids. But there’s a multitude of reasons why i wouldn’t live here, can’t afford it anymore would be on top of course.

I dont know Ca but I know in CT when you break the 10,001 LB gvw you are emissions exempt on combination plates and i believe when you go over 13k you are on commercial plates.

In CA they just execute you for being an enemy of the state

Yeah they dont want you to have any fun. CT is trying to be the same just a little behind.

Love me extra car payment every year that goes to CA. It’s freaking ridiculous what this state charges
