It’s what it says in the door, not what you weigh at present. --- End quote --- And if you’re towing it voids the AWD exemption when chains are required. No matter how small the trailer is plus you have to chain the trailer. --- End quote --- I think DOT requires chains on any trailer braking axles and brakes on trailers over 1500#. Washington can have stiffer regs. But you're correct that "but I have AWD/4WD with traction tires" becomes invalid with weight (capability, not current) & trailering. Interweb says a 2023 GMC 2500 GVW is over 10k. Above is correct as well, that chains are to be on hand. The few times I've seen that enforced, showing a box of chains was enough. They could be for a totally different vehicle. BUT, if accident, rescue, etc. occurred, you may wish you'd complied. |
