I am also in Manitoba and was going to comment the exact same thing before I read through the post. One thing to note even with a F150 if your trailer is over 10,000 lbs you will need a class 3. It is not a 350 thing. I opted for the 250 platinium this year for the yearly safety reason. Our trucks at work always come back with hundreds of dollars of yearly things to fix. These are low mile trucks with low yearly miles. No thanks. The safety got real intense in the last year or so and it is pretty expensive even if they don't find anything. I realize the limitations of my truck but until Manitoba follows Ontario and changes these outdated laws that put your private vehicle into a commercial class as soon as it is over 9900 lbs I am staying 250.

I don't really pay attention to what they find. I just see the operators with a list each time. I'm not saying that if there is something wrong it shouldn't be fixed and driven if not safe. Its just not for me. You have to decide what works for you.
