Where do we find the Calif. Chapter Forums? I've just been going to this site (Ford-Trucks.com).

 

When you go to the Forums, just scroll down the page- the state chapters are near the bottom.

Hey bro.....down here ,I found it.Look for the bikini girls on the beach

 

There is no way to avoid commerical plates in California. At least they allow you to park in yellow zones.

Two variables determine the price of your plates,
1) "VLF", based on value, a "property tax" of sorts, and
2) Weight fee based on unladen, NOT gross weight.

If the F-250 is 4800 lbs empty and the F-350 is 5300, then you will be in a higher weight class and pay more. I dont know how much more, check the DMV website or AAA.

I just got a refund of the VLF overcharge last fall.

I've been told that "Disabled Plates", if you qualify, will save about $100.
