A friend of mine just bought a CUT, 4 hours away from where he lives. In the course of researching trailer to buy, he came across this fairly new Ontario provincial legislation:
"If the gross vehicle weight rating of the truck, when added to the gross vehicle weight rating of the towed trailer exceeds 4500 Kg (9,920 lbs) THEN
both the truck and the trailer require annual safety inspections and the purchase of safety inspections stickers annually. "
Just what we need in Canada, another tax grab......
There may be some exemptions for SUVs, but not pickup trucks.
There also may be an exemption "when transporting personal effects".
What we are trying to figure out is does this only apply to commercial vehicles ?
Anybody out there have any experience with this, or insider knowledge ?
(I may be one day able to afford the truck/trailer I want.... but not the taxes..... )
