What TXiceman said is correct, based on GVWR.... the GVWR of my truck on the door sticker is 14k... what it "could" weigh fully loaded. As others said I could take 15-foot, 30,000 lb rated trailer completely empty and it would qualify while my 9800 rated, 33-foot travel trailer does not. Since I already has my appointment scheduled I went to try it, and yeah they kicked me out because my combined weight didn't qualify. So, I'll just have to schedule it for soon after I take delivery of the new rig.

Hi folks! Reviving this thread since it's the most useful information I've found anywhere on the interweb. We just ordered a Cyclone Toy Hauler (GVWR 20k, will be going full time in it with a family of 4) and got a new truck (GVWR 14k F350 dually).... so our new combined GVWR will be 34,000 lbs. However I'd like to get the license before the new trailer is delivered. So, can I take the test with my smaller 33' travel trailer (truck+oldtrailer combined GVWR of 23,000 lbs). Or will they not let me take it since it doesn't meet the Class A threshold? Kind of a catch-22.... I'd like to be legal before driving the new rig off the lot, but do I need the new rig before I can take the test? THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!
