For Flashman,
This is straight from ADOT.
"For the registration of 1-ton pickup trucks used for either commercial or personal use, the applicant must declare a gross weight and pay gross weight fees and a $4.00 commercial fee.
What is a declared gross weight?
Gross weight is the sum of the empty weight in pounds of a motor vehicle combination (power unit and trailer) plus the weight in pounds of the load to be carried on the motor vehicle combination at any point in time. Customers declare the maximum gross weight at which they will operate their vehicle and then pay the corresponding fee as determined by the following table."
I don't agree with it and questioned it when I moved from Colorado. In Colorado I also had the option to register as a recreational vehicle. So yes, I did sign up to give the state more dollars but it wasn't by choice. It is because my truck is a 1 ton.
