[dutchhunter]

my inlaws were over and we had a talk about his half ton and his camper ,he says he has to have a yearly inspection sticker on his chev Silverado 1500. to pull his 24foot camper ,,,is this right ,what about us pulling the 23foot proline I am sure it would out way his 24 foot rv ,,as it is a salt water boat with a 225 etec ,,,this is the first I have heard about this safety being done every year ,,what say the masses ,,,is this a scam to feed the liberals pockets ,,Dutch

No way,no how in Ontario. What province/state are they from? That would make a difference.

thy are in Ontario and say that the MTO is stopping people on the 400 hwy and giving tickets for not having the safetys ,,he has a yellow sticker on his truck now from a yearly safety now ,,,I never heard of this ,,,Dutch

Dutch I think the laws says anything combined total weight of 10,000lbs needs a sticker... I found this article below interesting...

IIRC,Last5oh_302 is a retired MTO inspector. It may be wise to shoot him a PM. This is a new one on me,but,it may be because your in-law's truck is commercially licensed and his trailer requires trailer brakes,but,that's just a guess.

Gotta few years to go yet trimmer, but for the first time ever I'm starting to look forward to it!

Dutch, RV's are exempt from stickers, and always have been. He likely doesn't require one on his 1/2 ton either.

2.2 (1) Sections 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 8 and 10 do not apply in respect of the following classes of vehicles:1. A motor vehicle commonly known as a recreational vehicle or as a motor home, other than a motor vehicle,

If his pickup is a dually it is considered a commercial vehicle hence the need for an annual inspection sticker.

Fun fact all pick up trucks in Ontario are registered as comercial vehicles. You might have a little red sticker in the top corner that says "primary personal use" or something like that, but your ownership will say comercial.

Comercial vehicles have black numbers / letters on the plates
passenger vehicles have blue numbers / letters on the plates

so even a half ton non dually pick up truck is a comercial vehicle

The yellow sticker / anual safety is caused by the gvwr not the number of tires.
