I try not to use the parkways even with passenger plates, just because of the sheer size of the Superduty.
why do I have them?
Lindenhurst Village, Code Enforcement letter arrived one day, pertaining to my '74 highboy:
"Storage of commercial vehicles on residential property is prohibited" - from the Village Code.
Which means, I can't park my commercial-plated highboy (now gone mostly because of the Village!) in the yard, but my Superduty with passenger plates? Can't do a darn thing!
It's also about registration costs. Compare a commercial plate registration at 8800lbs to a passenger plate registration at 5600lbs (weight on title).
