Pickups. OK, not a van, but a class of vehicle where specific rules
apply and which can be easily and unintentionally overlooked are double cab
pickups such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max.
Pickup trucks have been in existence for more than 100 years.
They include a modified truck cab and an open back, which makes it possible for
owners to haul things — that's actually where the name “pick up” comes from. Over the years, pickup truck styles have varied
greatly, evolving to be immensely popular today
The open back or 'bed' makes it easy to load and haul objects
to and fro. The name “pick up” was derived from its use as a vehicle to haul and transport heavy
loads. The first popular pickup truck was the Ford
Model T Runabout with a pickup body.
So technicall pickup is a car. As cars became more commonplace in early 20th
century America, they started to replace horsedrawn carriages (how we miss you,
fine equines), and cars simply became a short form, or slang, to refer to these
new kinds of motorized carriages.
What’s more, many states allow
exceptions to the GVWR and per-axel limits determined by the FBGW Formula.
They’re considered “oversized loads.” Trucks fitting unique circumstances are
required to obtain special permits. Plus, they must travel along specially
designated routes.
