Your canoe cannot extend more than 10 feet beyond that point. In your example, the canoe's last point of support is the end of the tailgate. Two-thirds of 15 feet is 10 feet (CHP officers are very skilled in mathematics). So for example, let's say the distance between the center of your front axle and the center of your rear axle (wheel base) is 15 feet.

The vehicle code states: "The load upon any motor vehicle alone shall not extend to the rear beyond the last point of support for a greater distance than that equal to two-thirds of the length of the wheelbase of the vehicle carrying such load." There is a specific formula for this very type of situation. Is this legal? My wife won't ride with me until you say it's OK.Īnd your wife not riding with you is a bad thing? Just kidding.
That means I have 7 feet of canoe hanging out beyond the end of the tail gate with a red flag. My pickup bed is 6.5 feet and with the tailgate down, the total bed length is about 8 feet.
I need to find out the regulations with regards to how much "stuff" can hang out the back of a pickup. However, that's not why I'm writing to you. Q: Monty, I took a course from you and enjoyed the material you offered and the course itself.
