Just be aware Permanent Plates PTI are only good for 5 years

I renew online usually, last one I went to AAA to get new plates. The woman asked if my truck was a work truck and told me to apply for a reduction in rates because it isn't. DMV was shocked that I knew anything about this. Years ago I had asked why we had to pay commercial rates and DMV said all trucks have to have this in order to haul anything in the back.
AAA is saving me $100 on fees yearly.

How can I get this reduction in dmv fees for my s10 extreme? It’s clearly not a commercial vehicle yet they still charge and categorize it as a commercial truck and charge dmv fees as such.
