Hi everyone. I'm trying to understand the requirements for classifying our upcoming F-250/Hawk Flatbed build and how the DMV will classify it.
I know our vehicle is below the weight threshold to classify it as a commercial vehicle - but for those with a flatbed and camper on top, is your vehicle classified as a pickup or motor truck? I'm pretty sure our truck won't technically be commercial, as the GVWR is under 11,500. But I'm curious if anyone has insight to how a truck that is modified with a flatbed and camper is classified. Does anyone have a similar setup in CA? I believe our cost to license goes up a few hundred for the year, and we are required to stop at weight stations, if classified as motor truck and not pickup.
Did anyone do anything similar in California and have some insight about this topic?
Thanks in advance!
