I showed them the truck had 4.10 gearing and they raised it to 23,500# and that figure is on the trucks registration form.

When declaring GCWR during the vehicle registration process a special tag is issued. When towing an RV without that tag you'll be very lucky if you're not pulled before you get out of SC.
