Dealer registered my Taco as a "Commercial" vehicle... Why?

I believe each city can impose specific time limits but 20 minutes is probably typical.

 

From the SFMTA website:
"Yellow zones are for active freight loading and unloading only by commercial vehicles. Check nearby signs or stencils on the curb for effective hours.Vehicles without a commercial license plate parked in a yellow zone will be cited and can be towed if the sign specifies it is a tow zone"

 

so much win

 

Public forum, As long as I abide by the rules I can post what I like. Sorry if you disagree.

 

I thought it was a privately owned forum? At least that's what mods and the teacher's pets keep trotting

 

Well it is ( to split a hair ) privately owned and members are allowed to post as long as they abide by the rules... Which I do.

Public for read only use...

 

Well as a representative and resident of California I say thank you.

 

LOL.

Was that a jab?

I think it was.

You left coasters are a tender bunch aren't you. I don't blame you, I would be too.

 

Kentucky laws are straight out of the Fred Flintstone era....Unless you are a "for profit" business, you get car tags on any truck, regardless of size. (ie Non Commercial) For a number of years, I towed a 20,000lb GVWR 30' gooseneck trailer (with NO tags) behind a Dodge 3500 dually with CAR tags on it to haul a tractor to and from our hunting property. I run car tags on my Tacoma. We don't need tags, registration, or a title on a non commercial trailer, regardless of weight rating. Kentucky's title laws are the loosest in the US. Car theft rings run vehicles through the state, then apply for new out of state registration and get clear titles on stolen vehicles. At one time, there was supposed to be more stolen vehicles on the streets of Murray Kentucky than any city in the US.....Don't know that to be gospel, but I've heard it all my life.

 

its cool... ill glady pay 80 bucks a year for this view.... Taken at the top of Mt High while on my snow skis.... of which i rode the street motorcycle highway 2 (world class canyon riding that people flock to) with skis strapped to the back. Looked out at the ocean and catalina island at the top of the mtn, Skied for 4 hours, rode home, grabbed the truck n the surf board n went in surfed in ventura that evening.




But yes OP here in CA any pickup is classified as commercial. I wonder, does a hard tonneau cover make it to where you can get it classified as a passenger vehicle?

 

Nope, no jab just a sincere thank you.

 

Wonder what rebates and grants you would be eligible for if you put a small solar panel on the roof.

 

OK... but I have to say I don't believe you.

 

and some fake lawn in the bed..... shit you might be on to something here.

 

How're things now that the Confederate Flag is down?

 

In ny truck under 5000lbs can be registered passenger. used to be you needed a cap or camper they changed in in the 90s

 

I told the dealer I did not want combo plates, I have passenger plates.

 

If only credit card car rental insurance policies would get in line and do the same, so I don't have to pay extra for collision damage waiver if I rent a Frontier or Colorado...

 

If you have a truck and plan on putting anything into the bed in California it's considered commercial you can register it as something else but you can't put anything into your bed it will be cheaper but not by much and it's not worth the hassle

 

Mine is registered as Passenger, no shell.
