Weight?

[pacificoflyr]

My state does its registration costs by weight of the vehicle, just got my renewal at a nice $516.90. I am wondering if anyone has weighed their JT and found a discrepancy on what the DMV has recorded as the weight and the actual weight. My old LJ was off by about 950lbs which saved me around $100 a year for the registration. Just curious if anyone has put their ride on a scale.

Nevada does it based on value. I just paid $705 for the one year renewal.

Indiana it is value and age.

Arizona is a Lieu Tax based on original MSRP. When I bought the Sport S Max Tow it was $563.56. This decreases by 15% per year (i.e will be $479.03 next year at renewal) until it reaches a minimum amount. I believe the minimum is $35.00.

Kentucky goes by value also.

To answer your question, my Max Tow went across the certified CAT scales at 4,739 lbs. I believe.

After I added wheels, tires, winch bumper, winch, bed cover, lights, etc. she made it to 5,000 lbs. Pretty heavy for a mid-size truck. A F-150 Supercrew is lighter!

Thanks WXman!

The heat can be oppressive sometimes but at least taxes and fees don't kill us. It's just a mere $46.85 annually here.

If you get a plate like my Iraqi freedom Plate, you can knock 1/4 of that off the price. (You need a DD214 with service in Iraq for it)

I pay less than $40 per year for mine.

If they made the JT's out of rolled iron like the YJ, it would weigh 7000 lbs!

Ford knew what they were doing with that Al bed.

Have a DD214 but haven't wanted to get one of the special plates.

Thanks for your service brother

My Overland (with 33” A/T tires) came in at 4900 (including taking my weight out) with a 1/4 tank of gas leaving the dump scale yesterday.
