Speed limiters are required in Quebec and Ontario . They aren't an add on accessory , they are just a setting on your ECM .

Hi Tuckster.,
Keep in mind if you go tp Western Canada, (Manitoba and west), your wheelbase cannot exceed 244", all the western provinces enforce the R.T.A.C. rules now, especially Manitoba and B.C., where I live. Good luck, And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!

 

tractor wheelbases may exceed 6.2m (244") if:

• the combination is SPIF (other than a long combination) and the tractor is manufactured in 2005 or earlier; or
• the combination is non-SPIF.

No...if you are pulling a 53' trailer, that is considered a "long combination vehicle" so you are still restricted to the 244" law.
