The F350 is the smallest vehicle where they charge by weight. Unfortunately they don't check for how much you use it, so for the 6 times a year I use mine I'm paying $.10/mile - while someone else who uses it for hauling as a job is paying $.01/mile.

That's your state. Just looked and registration fees and tags are all over the place.

True, but as a general rule until you get to the F350 class or higher states don't charge that extra tax.
