Whether or not it's a commercial vehicle is not relevant, at least in IL. Laws may vary from state to state but in IL Mike38Scarab is correct, you cannot legally drive a vehicle with a GVWR in excess of 16K lbs or tow a trailer with a GVWR greater than 10K lbs with a class D license, which is what you are issued to drive a car. The laws are very clear and can be found at https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/p...s/dsd_x142.pdf.. In fact the back of your IL class D driver license specifically states the maximum GVWR is 16K lbs. It's not hard to get the correct classification and is way less expensive than the fines. The only exception (besides being a farmer or firefighter) would be to have RV plates on the trailer and truck. I'm not interested in debating whether or not my 42' Fountain is an RV with a State Trooper so I took the test and got a class A license, which covers a GVWR in excess of 26K lbs and trailer GVWR of greater than 10K lbs. Just because you've been "towing for years without an issue" doesn't make it legal. And, I'm just not that lucky...

You wanna know the true laws go ask the Federal DOT guys at a weigh station not the State Police they interpret the law they way they want and the local police as well
The RV business would go out of business if everyone needed CDL's, that 80 year old grand pa and grand ma isn't getting under a 33,000 GVWR bus and doing a pre trip inspection !!!!!!

Personally I don't get the it's too big to tow b.i.t.c.h I hear on here all the time.
What a bunch of phukin Sally's
I used to haul my 13000 on the trailer parasail boat daily that drafted almost 4 feet with a single inboard diesel driving a large wheel hanging 2 feet under it with a half ton van.
Hauled the thing back and forth on 400 mile round trips numerous times with nothing but surge brakes running 70 down I-75.
You guys are hauling barely over that weight with 1 ton diesels or better with boats sitting 2 feet lower on the trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes.
Back of the line Susan. Learn how to haul a boat, that's right you can't ,because you don't have a Pair Jolene.
And I much rather back up a 50 foot triple axle up a dark steep drive than my little Chitty 16 foot sailboat trailer that you can't see and swings from side to side with the twitch of the wheel.

Did any of you grow up with a dad ? Or did your mother teach you how to drive?
Phukin pathetic

Sometimes during high season, I even hauled with the chute deployed and paying customers 300' up in the air!
