I wonder how many people in Kalifornia simply tow with smaller (less capable) trucks JUST to avoid the idiocy of the GVWR cutoff in that state?

You did not understand the information provided. In California there are extra fees for commercial trucks, as is the case in all states. The wrinkle is that California classifies all pickups as commercial vehicles regardless of the GVWR. A mini-truck owner pays a higher fee than the person driving an SUV that cost twice as much. They are copying the strategy of former governor Ronald Reagan to tax the poor and give tax breaks to the rich. For lots of fat cats this wonderful progam was later extended at the federal level which is why Romney pays a 10% tax rate on his millions of dollars of ill gotten gains - capital gains that is and with hedge funds there is a wonderful loophole that was not created by accident that classifies their fees as capital gains even though they risk none of their own money. Golden rule applies with the tax code.

The only way to get around the pickup tax in California is to have a camper welded to the truck bed and I do mean welded. Applies only to pickups so a Class B or other motorhome is taxed solely on gross vehicle weight.

In Utah the weigh scale police want ALL vehicles with a gross vehicle weight over 10,000 lbs. to stop and be weighed.

With RV's it is easy to cross over into commercial vehicle territory but actually California is one of the friendliest states in this regard. On the east coast the laws vary from city to city and the tickets are expensive.

I come here for RV related information and news. Your political opinions are of no interest to me. Please stay on RV related topics and quit wasting bandwidth with your personal politics. If I we want to wade through that cow dung we'll go to a political forum.
