Makes perfect sense to me.

Many people want license plates that match their vehicle's year. It looks cool. Remember they are a different color etc. But, there are not 54 plates. At the time they used 51 plates and each year supplied you with a metal tag that would fit over the 51. So, you need 51 plates and a metal 54 tag for a 54 vehicle.

I can't understand for the life of me why you would want to use 95 plates as they look the same as the current ones and you might as well just get a set of new ones.

Another slight problem is that for a truck you need commercial plates. In 51 that was denoted by starting with COM on the plate. A good clear set of COM YOM's goes for $300 and up. They are quite rare. For that kinda money you need to make sure the plates are clear before you buy.

All this information and more is available on this website through the search feature as it has come up many times before. There are also websites for it. And even the DMV has information on their website about it.
