This is a fairly local story to me. I am not saying that I have any more knowledge than any one else,but I have read the original news reports.
The rules in this HOA are vague. "Private passenger type pleasure vehicles" are authorized.
In NY if your truck weighs less than 5600 pounds and is not used in any commercial activity,(having a ladder rack implies commercial activity),ask me how I know, you can register as a passenger vehicle,as this man has done. The HOA says whatever the state calls it has no bearing,it is still a truck.
The comment section of the news article was somewhat enlightening.
If anything is to be believed, the resident in question is a former police officer that lost his job due to some questionable actions. He is the kind of guy that enjoys poking the bear in the eye so to speak.

I can agree that the HOA has said "a pickup truck is NOT a passenger vehicle" - but then why is the other homeowner parking his pickup truck in the driveway without apparent issue? Does the HOA have an exception that only black pickups are not passenger vehicles? Or that only grey pickups are passenger vehicles? The two trucks appear to be very similar in size and style - why is one acceptable and the other not>? Because homeowner one is a fired police officer and the HOA doesn't approve of him in their community anymore?
