Nice….a good ole DOT weight discussion!
PS Kayteg, In most state light duty not automatically register as commercial, as you put it. Only a few states I’m aware of do that, but most don’t.
Thank the lord for small favors like, not all states are like Cali!
I actually missed cheaper and easier California fees.
Clark County (Las Vegas) has only commercial registration for trucks, what cost more in registration than even commercial in CA, while insurance tripled to what I paid in CA.
Much cheaper real estate and cost of living in Las Vegas compensate it well, but still.
From what I remember, my brother in WA is not paying much less for registration than I do, but his biggest truck is Toyota 4 Runner.
From what you remember, idk what you pay, nor do I care, but WA reg fees aren’t too bad. They do get up there if you get hit with Seattle resident city tax (and a couple other cities to a lesser extent) or RTA tax if you live in the wrong part of lib land around seattle.
Now, the sales tax and use tax are steep. 10% +/- and WA is good at trying to collect “use tax”, ie repeat taxation on the same item, on used vehicle and toy purchases. Especially if one doesn’t know the loopholes or has a moral objection to stiffing the state on additional tax….
