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.
