Well, unless that F250 happens to run on gas.

Here in NC the only thing I was checked for by a DMV cop when I got pulled over was weight. I was overweight and got a ticket. They weigh you with EVERYTHING. Truck, trailer, spare tires, fuel, people, clothes, kitchen sink, etc.
Of course, you'll want to make sure all your lights work and everything, but I've never been 'inspected' on the side of the road. Just make sure you get a weighted tag that covers anything you might carry/tow.
BTW, my diesel title claims a truck weight of about 6k lbs. It actually weighs 7400. Just food for thought. I am now at 17k lbs GVW for my tag. Costs a mere $240/yr :rubeyes:
