An F-150 pulling a 30 plus foot fiver WILL draw unwanted attention here from the RCMP. Ditto for an 8' overhead TC on a 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot box. If the weights exceed the numbers on the door sticker, the unit will get parked. We got stopped in a blitz, they checked our registration and waved us through but one unit was being weighed.
B.C., the only jurisdiction that puts credance on small vehicle GVW. The most amazing part is how they verify being overweight, it is 'in the opinion of the officer'. No requirement to weigh.
As I recall those regulations, which I read a while ago, the regualations apply only to the tow vechicle for tow vehciles under 4500 kg (trailer weight only ocunts for the hitch weight, this is not combined weight). Overweight results in a fine, no handcuffs.
