Section 1916(b) - OPTIONAL REGISTRATION - Any vehicle falling within the range of weights for Classes 1 thru 4B, inclusive, shall
notwithstanding any gross vehicle weight stamped on the manufacturer’s serial plate, be registered, upon request of the person making
application for registration, at the maximum allowable gross or combination weight for the particular weight class within which the gross
vehicle weight determined by the manufacturer causes such vehicle to fall.

However, this vehicle may be registered at the maximum allowable weight for this class at 9,000 lbs.

The operation of a truck loaded beyond the manufacturer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) may create unsafe conditions
and may also void the manufacturer’s warranty if damage should result from such overloading. Check with your dealer or factory
representative. You should also consult your insurer concerning possible adverse effects to your insurance coverage with respect
to such overloading.
