Just said good bye to my F350
A sad day today, my F350 V10 just sold. Due to limited driveway space and new local restrictions on bigger trucks the beast had to go. The new owner is going to get one heck of a good tow vehicle....

It is our provincial licensing body Manitoba Public Insurance that is the issue. Not a HOA.
The truck has a GVWR of 11000 lbs. That places it locally in the same licensing category of highway tractor trailers.
Current requirements beyond normal vehicle licensing:
- Yearly government inspections.
- Need to carry special fire extinguisher, flares, road markers, etc. (not a bad idea)
- special insurance categories with additional insurance riders and policies to travel out of province.
Future requirements:
- Special plates, more regulations coming this fall.
Potential requirements:
- yearly government medical exams at owners cost.
All this just to tow a travel trailer a few times per year...
Do they also come into your bedroom at night and give you play by play tips on how to keep the wife happy? good grief.
And some locales in this country do the same thing. There was a story about a guy in Syracuse NY that ended up moving as his HOA forbid having pickup trucks parked in a driveway.
