Towing Question
Quote:
As far as the question of towing a Trailer, Camper, or Boat with a Tahoe, Suburban, or Denali type vehicle, they are all exempt to a weight rated Truck plate. A passenger car (a vehicle that carries passengers with windows and proper seating but not a Pickup Truck) plate has 1 plate option, a passenger plate (in Illinois) with no maximum weight rating. All my K-2500 Big Block 4X4 Suburban's had a 8600 GVW and had Passenger plates on it. The trailer then must be classed @ the maximum GVW of the trailer. An Avalanche can not have passenger plates and must have truck plates because it has a pickup truck style bed, I know first hand because I plated an Avalanche with passenger plates, got a written warning from the Elk Grove Village Police (Nice) , and I got a letter in the mail from the Illinois Secretary Of State a week later telling me to go to a local SOS office and purchase the correct "B"Truck when they were the one's who originally let me transfer them in the first place! So what I am trying to say is, in the State of Illinois, the vehicle is always plated for it's manufactured use and GVW. You can only put a Tow Truck plate on Tow Truck. Once you pull a vehicle off it's wheels (like on a Flat bed Tow Truck) it is no longer governed by the Secretary of State, it is now called Cargo and it is regulated by the Illinois Commerce (ICC) which is a whole additional can of worms.
