In Ontario, a pickup truck is defined as having a GVWR 6000 kgs and under, and at that weight there are no personal use exemptions of any kind, you're 100% commercial. The GM dually has a GVWR of just under 6,000 kgs so it hits all my numbers and I don't need a CVOR.
Bummer. Doesn't Ford offer different GVWR packages anymore? I know you used to be able to spec out a F350 at 2 or 3 different weight limits, even though there was zero mechanical difference, just to get around these types of arbitrary designations.
On another note, you lose headroom as you gain trim cost in a Ram? I never knew that... but then again I have a Tradesman!
A buddy told me Ford offers a derated F-350 DRW in the US but not in Canada. I did let Ford Canada HQ know that they lost a sale over that. At the price of these things you'd think every sale would count. :-)
On the Rams, I was told the higher trim models have higher seats to make room for the electric motors under the seat. I visited one local dealership and found they could have made the Ram's seat lower, even with the electric motor. The salesman said no problem we can remove the seat, cut out an inch of the seat mount, and boom, you have a lower seat. Yeah, great idea... He never did call me back on that plan!
if you pop onto the Ford.ca configurator you'll see that there's a 9900 GVWR downgrade option right there - still an option.
That wouldn't be for the dually tho, just the F-250 I would imagine. Maybe the F-350 SRW, but as I say, I didn't look.
