Since towing capacity is factored into the registered GVW, one should be able to lower it under 5001 and say they're not towing trailers any longer.

I forgot what the min. GVW is but my single axle flatdeck has to get inspected annually and my tandem goes in every 6 months - both 5T. The one good thing about gov't run, commercial safety inspection facilities is that at least it cuts out the shady shops that pass unsafe trucks.
There used to be annual safety inspections for cars in the early 80's but they scrapped it after less than 5 years.
