For Ontario Canada Lightning Green Plates

[Galactus55]

What I found out

See below screen shot for the MTO the Rivian qualifies for green plates. So this would imply the Ford F- 150 should qualify as well.
The only item that might be a problem is the added statement on the web site that said.
"The following vehicles are not eligible for Green Vehicle license plates:
Commercial vehicles weighing 3,000 kg or more "

Ford Lightning weight 2948 kg
Rivian R1T Truck Curb weight 2670 kg

We should be good. HOV lanes are a go!!!

I'm in Ontario and have an extended range Lariat. No issues getting green plates, don't worry.

What Service Ontario office did you get them from? The one in East York refused, citing the weight with my extended range.

Unfortunately you dealt with a moron at the service Ontario.

I would go back in to the exact location and show the aforementioned moron the Ontario.ca website that lists the eligible vehicles for green plates. Surprise! It's listed !

As taxpayers in Ontario, we pay those people, shame they can be so ignorant some times.

My dealer dealt with the plates, no problems at all getting green ones.

After 2 years, I doubt he’s still worried about this at all.

Thank you so much. Will go back.
I did feel let down that Downtown Ford didn’t get that done for me. It wasn’t the only reason to get the truck but it’s certainly a huge perk.
Cheers!

What? Most, if not all dealers should have got it plated for you. Sorry about your experience. Hopefully your future visits to them are smoother.

Yup, my dealer in Ontario got the green plates for me. Heck, he was even able to find a french green plate!

Success! I went to another location that was open Saturday and got my Greens. I referenced the link and had no push back. Thank you so much for your help.
