Pickup Big Enough for BX?

[Dusty]

My dodge D50 has a 1300 pound payload so according to what you are saying I could haul the BX either in the truck or on the trailer correct?

Only if it will fit into the bed and be secured properly. Just because it fits, doesn't make it legal. All loads must be properly secured to be considered legal. Also, you have to consider that the weight of the passengers is also calculated into that payload. Why don't you put the tractor into the bed of the truck and properly secure it with either straps or chains. Then go to the truck scales, and with yourself in the cab, have it weighed by a Ohio certified weigh-master. Then post the weigh certificate and a picture of the data plate, and tell us if your truck, with you and the BX have exceeded the GVW of the data plate of the truck. How long will it take to do this task?

1*Since one of those little 4 cylinder pickups have as much or more grunt than the full size trucks.
2*Since they will pull my 14k trailer no problem, are you sure they will stop the load okay?

1* This isn't what I said but what I did state is
(For their size and weight these little import trucks have as much or more grunt than the full size trucks.
2*The thread isn't talking about 14 to 20K trailers or 7500 pound tractors and neither am i. lets keep it in the size and weight range the thread started out with shall we?

Isn't in this case the word "too" should it not be "two"?

Nope it's mustard also not 2 mustards.

You know, for some strange reason, I can believe that.

OK so where is it if I missed it?
I sure don't see it.

Interesting... Why do you drive one truck year-round, but rotate three of the trucks throughout the year?

Because I like driving it the best.

Larry,

I really have to know, how does a schedule like that reduce license and insurance expenses.

Simple what cost the most to insure 2 cars or 4 cars?
What cost the most to license 2 cars or 4 cars?

in both CT and MA, you cannot hold onto your license plates unless you have insurance in force.
1* You have to turn in the plates first before you can cancel the insurance.
2*Ohio doesn't have that requirement, so he might just cancel the insurance and keep the plates active
3*A friend was telling me about these bright yellow license plates that Ohio is now issuing. Anyone have one of those on there vehicle?

1*You mean you can't transfer the plates to another car?
Why not simply let the plates expire.
2*Ohio does allow stored vehicles to be exempt from insurance requirements
3*No body in their right mind would admit to having one of them on their vehicle.

answer: You can transfer to another car if you have one, but I was talking about keeping plates without having proper insurance, another subject.
2*Ohio does allow stored vehicles to be exempt from insurance requirements
Answer: That is what I said, so you are in agreement with me on this.
3*No body in their right mind would admit to having one of them on their vehicle.
Answer: Why not? It is the honest thing to do

How can you transfer plates from one vehicle to another if you still own the one you are transfering them from?

If the state of Ohio issues someone one of the yellow and red license plates, I really don't think you would have a choice whether you accept them or not. If one ends of with the plates, you can't simply say, "no thank you."
