{"replyTo":"","text":"It’s NOT required just makes your life a little bit easier and keep you rolling. Just Colorado is the only one that puts it in their computer every pass through. If you do not have your last 8 of vin on passenger side they will make you go in with paperwork so they can put it in the computer. I still see trucks with it on a piece of cardboard in the passenger window. ","replyToPid":0}
