It varies from state to state, may include country and municipal taxes and inspection fees on top of state fees.
In Oklahoma, the registration fee for a privately used passenger vehicle (includes light trucks and motorized RVs) depends only on how long the vehicle has been registered in the state, sliding down from something around $100 for first registration, to around $40 after a very long time.
Neither value nor weight matter. It was formerly an ad valorum tax, but it changed.
Other classes of vehicles, you may pay personal property tax on value, or registration fees by weight.
It costs me more to park my car at the airport for a week than it does to tag if for a year. It costs me more to put 20 gallons of gas in the motorhome than it does to tag it for a year. I probably spend more per month to buy decent wine than I pay to tag any one vehicle. You have to keep these things in perspective or you'll go nuts over how your tags cost you more than someone else's tags.
