A Diffferent Question . . . . . . of Course!

Can't Post | Private Reply

I came in with my 2008 Tahoe and 16 ft enclosed cargo trailer. I am on an FM 2 "Rentista". I need to go back NOB with only my Tahoe, as I do not really wish to pay all the extra cash for both additional gas and the cuota fees for both Tahoe and trailer. I have to go back for my VA Medical appointments and should return within ten days. My Mexican Temp Import Sticker of course has both the tow vehicle and the trailer listed. What's your take on this particular situation? I have been stopped once last month, driving without the trailer at a local federales checkpoint and asked where my trailer was. I explained it was at my house up the road (which went over well) as I didn't wish to spend all the extra money, for driving a trailer around town when it was not necessary. That satisfied him and he let me go and politely said have a nice day. Do you think that I could do the same thing and drive across the border without checking in, and ten days or so later drive back without the trailer and not have a problem? Appreciate your feedback.

I have a 10 year TIP on my pickup with a cargo trailer listed and I have done it many times. Just don't stop at the border and cancel the existing sticker.

playaboy,

Good Morning. I was hoping that may be the case. I have dnoe that with only my Tahoe without the trailer originally but not when the trailer was listed also. Have you ever been asked at a checkpoint about it? Or at the deeper Aduana checkpoint about it? Maybe they have thought that your pickup camper was the trailer?

Most of the time I am just driving the pick up without the camper or cargo trailer. I have been asked about it at interior checkpoints and have told them that the trailer is at home here in Playa del Carmen. Once at the border they wanted to cancel my 10 year permit and I said I couldn't because the trailer was still in country so they let me go on. I wouldn't worry about it.
