Until you show me proof of this change, I'm going with the known existing rules, not some random MTO officers interpretation.
What change?
The regulation has been the same since it was first passed into law.
If the weight of, the RGW, or the manufacturers GWR of the truck exceeds 4,500 KG it requires a yellow annual safety sticker. Period.
If the actual weight and GWR is under 4,500 KG but the trailer, ANY type of trailer including an RV, exceeds 2,800 KG then the truck MUST be licensed for at least the actual combined weight of both truck and trailer. Period.
Considering the 2,800 KG trailer limit it's not possible to have a truck light enough that you could register it for truck and trailer combined and still be under 4,500 KG.
