Can a pickup truck be equipped with ETC?

[LaJeremiah]

Pickup trucks cannot be equipped with ETC. On the vehicle registration certificate, pickup trucks are classified as trucks, which are not eligible for ETC and cannot use dedicated lanes. They must pass through manual toll lanes for weight-based charging. A pickup is a vehicle that combines a car-like front and cab with an open cargo bed, offering the comfort of a sedan, robust power, and superior cargo capacity and off-road capability compared to sedans. The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system is an advanced toll collection method globally, utilizing dedicated short-range microwave communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and microwave antennas at ETC toll lanes. This system, integrated with computer networking technology and bank backend settlement processing, allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay bridge and road fees.
