Mr: rocmoc, I have a 24 foot C with dually's and pull a small suv, they charged the RV as a three axle truck and a 2 axle car, and the SCT site does not take into account some of the toll booths that belong to city or county that operate a small section, we encountered this in Saltillo two tolls that are not mentioned in the official government computation.
To calculate the tolls enter a 3 axle truck and a car, even then the different booths are going to charge what they want, some higher some lower there is no fixed rate that one can count on, the most expensive part of the trip is the fuel compared to the tolls.
When asked if you want all the prices say yes and print it out, then manually calculate the the stretches between towns, on some towns they have a bypass that can be avoided by going in to town, this are called "libramientos" they skirt the towns, and of course the towns will have the dreaded "topes" speed bump some will be marked others not and of course the "baches" pot holes also be aware of sewer hole covers missing after a good rain.
