Downplating a 4500 tipper to 3500

Postby Donks2026 » Fri Jun 19, 2026 9:48 am

Hello

I am trying to down plate a tipper to 3.5 - I have been told by DVSA I need to get a new manufacturers plate and only ford an apply for this. I have however not been able to speak to anyone who understands my request. . I keep getting replies of changing a reg plate.

Does anyone here know who/where i need to contact at ford to get this GVW plate changed ?
