It has come to our attention that many dealerships are placing passenger plates on Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. These vehicles are considered TRUCKS by the state of Illinois and must be plated properly.

Previously, the fee for switching plates from passenger plates to truck plates had been waived; however, beginning Sept. 1, 2023, if a customer is not given the appropriate truck plate for these vehicles, the dealership will be responsible for the $29.00 switch plate fee.
