For Illinois Maverick owners, do you have B truck plates?

[Davkane]

When I got my Maverick about a month ago, the dealer slapped car plates on it. I asked if that was ok, and the finance guy said yeah, it is all based on weight and size. I said I didn’t think so, but he assured me that was ok. Fast forward about 3 days, they salesman calls me and says I need to come back and get B plates. So I did. It didn’t cost anything, but it seemed strange that I got two answers from the same place.

Among people I have talked too, I have also gotten conflicting answers, cannot find any information on the Secretary of State website. I think I’ll just end up getting the Environmental plates, but this was extremely confusing.

I read the Illinois Secretary of State guidelines for truck licensing and I interpreted that a Maverick being under 8000 GVW was eligible for regular passenger plates.
The local DMV that issues the plates insisted that I get "B" plates. It seemed to me that the DMV just see that the vehicle is a truck so therefore it needs a "B" plate and didn't want to make a decision about the 8000 GVW limit.

Bought mine out in Iowa at Granger, and they just did a plate transfer from the F-150 to the Mav.

I was originally issued B-plates, then switched to -SF (Sporting Series-Fishing).

I also bought from Granger, and can confirm the Sec. of State issued B plates that I received in the mail about 30 days after purchase.

When I bought my Maverick they transferred my organ donor plates, my buddy bought a Maverick a week later from the same dealer, they didn't transfer his passenger plates.

In Illinois do they go by CGVWR? If they do my Maverick is over 8k.
Just curious

No, they go by the weight of the vehicle.
