I am purchasing a condo. The condo rules say no pick up trucks. The condo rules were written to eliminate junk or work type pick ups from the parking lots 20 years ago. They have examined my Sport Trac and realize it is far from a work pick up truck or junk truck. They are considering changing the documents to reflect that newer pick ups are just like or better than some luxury cars. They will let me in immediately if I can provide some sort of official document that lists my vehicle as an SUV or passenger vehicle and makes no mention of 'pick up truck'. I am posting below my correspondence with the board. Please guys provide me with some official looking websites or other documentation that will help my case.
Hi Wes,
Here's the response I got. So.....if you can provide something that shows this is not classified or registered as a pickup truck looks like we can move ahead.

Hi Rudy,
Part of the problem with our docs is they a very outdated. What is the definition of a pickup truck ? Like case Dave stated really needs to be looked at. 30 years ago a pickup truck had a far different definition than it does today.Maybe the attorney should give an opinion. There might even be one in the legal book in the office.
I don't want to make an issue about this but I knew before long it was going to come up. It's been hanging out there. I am actually surprised no one has challenged our rule yet. Many complexes are now relaxing their rules about pickup trucks. They are defining their rule to keep out the "construction trucks" .Which was really the purpose of the rule anyway. That would of course change the appearance of the neighborhood.
Sorry for the annoyance of this but maybe it's a chance to define things in a peaceful,unpressured way verses someone challenging and forcing us to. Thanks for your trouble
