In va you can choose what weight you register it at but it has to be a certain amount above the empty weight. the increased empty weight of the diesel truck would force me to register at a weight that doesn't get the lower rates.
I need the 3/4 ton because I need the payload to allow me to tow the toyhauler and also have an atv and firewood and stuff in the bed.
Also the weight of the diesel would have lost me payload and forced me to go to a 1 ton so it would have increased the amount it would have cost me that much more.
the point is that the diesel crowd are far to quick to tell people that are asking for real advice that they need a diesel when they really don't. That advice may end up costing that person their hard earned money that they didn't need to spend.
