Hello,

I know it is legal to tow 2 trailers in Manitoba providing one is a fiver. It is not in Ontario I believe

Yet on my home from Thunder bay to Winnipeg I passed 2 rigs, one by Ignace and another just before Dryden pulling the 2 trailers.

So my question is, can you pull 2 trailers in Ontario with out of province plates?
Thanks

If it was legal then it wouldnt matter where youre licenced,,is my guess..
Id be very careful checking all the laws as fines in Ontario are very
High,,
For example distracted driving such as using phone is close to 500$ now and will be even higher up to 2000$ soon plus jail time for repeat offenders..

What you are referring to is a concept known as "reciprocity", there is sort of treaty in place between all the States and Provinces and it basically means if you're legal driving your vehicle in your home jurisdiction, you are legal in all of North America. For instance, if you are driving a p/u with a big 5'er out back, on a regular car license and that's legal where you live you cannot be ticketed or turned away in a place where that would require a higher class of license.

It does NOT however cover things which are 'Vehicle reg's' such as length, weight, or double towing.

Having said that, a neighbour of mine routinely pulls a fishing boat behind his 5'er and has for years. He says he's never been stopped and it's never been an issue. He claims if he's ever stopped he'll point out that the wording says "commercial" vehicle and since every p/u in Ontario is a commercial vehicle he thought it was legal.
