Ujoint,
Normally I would totally agree with you and say no one would EVER check the gvw of your van however last month my dad was on his way out to Utah with his jeep in Tow on a trailer and a car in front of him stood on the brakes in the middle of a two lane highway to let a funeral home procession go the other direction ******???? Anyway he could not stop in time and rear ended the clown. The first thing the cop did was harass my dad for saying his gvwr on his plates were not high enough to pull a CJ7 behind a half ton truck. Some how dad talked his way out of the ticket but if the cop wanted to be a real *** I am sure he could of persued it further. That was in Missouri and I know they can be a pain in the ******** with bumper height laws and such, and the Mo dot will pull you over for what ever they want to check. As a kid I came to be on a first name basis with a dot, they love kids in jeeps on 40'S with 400+ horsepower. Anyway here in colorado I have not ran into anything like that so I would say it would never really be an issue as far as I can tell. It only takes one nazi wannabe state trooper to really leave a bad taste in your mouth and dent in your wallet.
