Short answer, yes.


There are weight and length limits. I believe they're 23 metres and 4,600 kg.


Here's the part most people get confused on...


You cannot tow more than one trailer behind non-commercial vehicles.


Pickup trucks, regardless if they're for personal use, are considered "commercial vehicles" for highway traffic purposes. An easy way to confirm whether or not your vehicle is considered a commercial vehicle are through your plates. You'll likely have a set of black lettered plates instead of the blue. If so, you have a "commercial" vehicle.
