An MTO manager told me in 06 that 6000kg rule was coming. At the time I was considering a cab & chassis with a custom body. I decided to go with 3500 pickup to stay legit and just live with the lower payload.
When I asked an MTO manager recently if changes were coming for RVs because I noted the RV FAQs had been removed from the MTO website. He told me the issue was that some of those FAQs were just policies adopted by the MTO staff rather than actual laws. For some reason, and MTO staff doesn't seem to be pleased about it either, police forces have started enforcing many things that were traditionally handled only by MTO enforcement officers. Police enforce the Highway Traffic Act. They often aren't even aware of such policies that the MTO adopted over time. So MTO removed these to avoid conflicting messages. That made things a little worse for some RVers.
