VIN and weight class
The VIN, year, manufacturer, declared weight, and proof of ownership must support the selected trailer class.
Permanent fit
Permanent registration depends on the needed Montana vehicle class and age rules; it is not a universal option.

I expected a headache and got a checklist instead. Every form was pre-filled, every question answered the same day, and both cars were legal before my old registration even expired. The price was almost a footnote compared to how smooth it was.
