Can full-use dealer plates be displayed on all vehicles owned by a dealer?

Full-use dealer plates allow a vehicle dealer in Colorado to operate certain vehicles without a standard license plate. However, these plates cannot be displayed on all types of vehicles owned by the dealer. Specifically, one important exception is the restriction on tow vehicles. Tow vehicles typically cannot be registered with full-use dealer plates as there are regulations that govern the use of such vehicles differently. This ensures that the legal provisions regarding commercial operations and specific vehicle functionalities are adhered to.

Thus, the correct understanding hinges on the limitations established by state law which mandates that full-use dealer plates are not appropriate for every vehicle type, reinforcing the importance of compliance with vehicle registration and usage regulations for dealers.
