The grey area is, what constitues a passenger vehicle, and what constitutes "other?"

ORC 4513.021 (2) says a “'Multipurpose passenger vehicle' means a motor vehicle ... constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off-road operation."

So no doubt my XJ is "multipurpose." But is "multipurpose passenger" still "passenger," or is it "other?"

And if it's not "other," what is? The scale is from under 4500# to 10k, so we're not talking about heavy equipment here. My little unibody is almost 5k, for reference.

Hard to say. Badly written law.

Everything with NON-COM plates is considered passenger car/truck by the title office.
