It is the same here ...


North Carolina politicians are progressively looking for more ways to leach money from the citizens.

One such example is new towing & regulation laws concerning boat and boat trailer dimensions (silly and unnecessary) which have been passed recently. Existing laws which were not enforced are now being aggressively enforced.The NC towing community is still very upset about these changes.

Trucks (pickup trucks) and Vans (full-size vans, not those little minivans) are required to have "special" weighted license plates (and they come with "special" prices too!) according to the amount of the total GCVWR on the move (GVWR of the vehicle + GVWR of the trailer)

Strangely, SUVs are by NC law, exempt from almost all NC towing regulations. But I’m sure that loophole will be closed at some point.
