Edit: I was actually rethinking this. The GVWR is part of the registration card barcode. It is printed on the door sticker. That barcode does not contain vehicle info afaik. |
I went to MVC last December and the guy was having a hard time scanning the barcode off the vin plate because I had the windshield replaced and the installer got a small amount of butyl on the bar code. He ended up having to input the vin manually before he could continue with the inspection. I know my truck is registered for 6000lbs. GVWR but they run the inspection as 9200lbs. GVWR. Correct me if I'm wrong but the GVWR wouldn't change if it were an incomplete chassis truck. The weight you could carry might change depending how outfitted (utility box vs. flatbed ect.) but the GVWR which is set by the chassis and suspension wouldn't change.
