Towing with a 2012 F350 SRW showing a 10,000 GVWR

There is no physical/mechanical difference between the 11500 truck and the 10000 truck. The option is for licensing savings only.

Depending on your state you can register your truck for any gvwr that you want and you will be completely legal. Check with your DMV and ask them if you can legally register your truck at 11500.

John, CT allows a COMBO plate for well over 11,500. Fee is based on the GVWR and is only about $20 more for the 11,500 as opposed to the 10,000. One of the stipulations is that the registered weight cannot exceed the vehicles GVWR which in this case is 10,000 according to the sticker, even though it is exactly the same as the 11,500 GVWR vehicle. Interesting Conundrum!!
