I can't find where to get answers to this. In Ontario, Canada all pickup trucks are registered as commercial vehicles. No choice. I'd like to use my pickup (without the truck camper loaded) to tow one or two cars (plated in my name) in my enclosed ut...
There have been some good discussions on this in the past. I hope to start a new one as the rules have changed again. Also the RV-related FAQs have been removed from the MTO website recently. I've been reading the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) and though...
