Registration Rant

$381 + $50 smog on a 2001 F350 SRW to register this year :M oh but I don’t have to pay to register my TC, it’s like going to Oregon and paying $150 for an oil change and but not having to pay sales tax!



The time is coming soon when I am so outta California.

What are you guys seeing for registration in other states for a Similar vehicle?

    My ram was 14,000 lbs, and I think it was around $360 something in PA. it was a whole lot cheaper in FL after I moved.

    $58.89 for the Ram 3500 here in Washington County Arkansas. $35 of that goes for my special state park tag. No smog test either. Don't think we will be moving to Cali any time soon.

    I feel for you Anutami. We bailed on CA a couple years ago. Used to live in Escondido, not too far from you. The truck in my sig would cost me upwards of $500 for registration. Here in Texas, same truck $78.75 + $7 annual inspection, no smog.

    $257 commercial weight fee is not bad if you ask me.
    No need to pay it if you use truck as an RV.
    I pay well over $800 for my truck in Las Vegas plus annual smog test.
    NV doesn't recognize commercial/non commercial pickup use, but I can turn the plates in and avoid paying in winter months.

    Annual registration on my 2011 Chevy 2500 is close to $150.
    No smog test here in rural Utah.
    I don't understand why people think no sales tax saves them money.
    They need to collect taxes from somewhere.

    There is no weight listed on my registration.

    $10 annual registration for my truck camper.

    CA taxes are choking people to death.
