gov. Gavin newsom strikes against the fossil fuel indistry. But here's my story.
I bought a 2000 ford f450 super dually with a 7.3 powerstroke and have run into a brick wall as far as the registration goes. I was told to call the California Air Resource Board and tell them that there's a block on the new registration in the DMV system. Here's my question in order to get my truck registered it needs to have a non commercial pickup bed on it.." if need be, can I take any ford super duty SRW bed and put it on my DRW will it fit?(minus the fender flares, OF COURSE) and have them welded on later, bc the EDVRS wants pictures of the truck w/ the standard Pickup bed on it. Or can I get away with taking the utility bed off the truck leaving it off since I can't find a dually bed that fits I know this is a lot to have to read but this is kind of a irritating situation I feel like I've gotten myself into
If its a standard bed then it isn’t commercial. It should only be considered commercial if it has a fifth wheel or some type of towing equipment. Just because it’s a dually doesn’t make it commercial. There’s F250 duallys. They consider them commercial to? You could always send theM a pic of it with the bed off. Or if you know anyone good at photoshop. But from what I just read it has nothin to do with the bed, it’s all about the vehicles weight. People buying the newer F250’s in California are having the same issue as I understand it. Even with a regular truck bed. It’s just a way to collect more revenue.
My vehicles tag in the door jamb says it has a 15,000 GVWR. The regulation is for <19,500 so I'm caught in the net.
Gotta love Cali.
