The IL license plate ratings confuse the hell out of me. The truck plates are one thing, and then with the combination vehicle along with trailer plates seems to really be a grey area.

It's really simple actually. Forget the door jamb stickers, trailer gvw and all that. What you need is a truck plate that covers the weight of your truck (including tongue weight). And a trailer plate that covers the weight of your trailer with the boat on it. Not what it weighs on paper, but what it weighs when they take you to the scale. That's what they look at.

Don't forget that with a "d" plate on the truck you need safety inspections done and sticker, same on the trailers. Illinois loves making it difficult for people

I hear you on the making it difficult. I have a class A CDL and that is a whole different level of difficult. The DOT regs., medical cards, log books, etc. The state is broke and it is a lot easier for the cops to pull over a personally owned truck/trailer or commercial rig and give them thousands of dollars worth of tickets than to pull over numerous speeders/seat belt violators.

What’s wrong with a B plate on a one Ton truck I don’t go over 8000 pounds in the truck towing a trailer with a TD plate.
Is it the safety inspection sticker can’t I get one with a B plate on the Truck. Does not look like I will be putting in at Winthrop Harbor $ 40.00 every time to the city of Winthrop Harbor.
Wisconsin can’t be as bad is it. Over all length 56’

Amen. I'm buying an out of state business. If I'm still here once I'm done paying it off and start taking profit, I'll be a complete moron. 5% for the pleasure of being a resident on top of every other rent seeking scheme they can come up with.

If your truck doesnt weight over 8000lbs then a B plate is fine.. my 1 ton dually is over 8000lbs. I was told inspections are not needed on pleasure vehicles.
