I live in an area with more families and fewer retirees so I see endless fleets of Suburbans, Tahoes, Grand Wagoneers and Expeditions all day every day. These all can range from 70-100k. Then tons of dudes driving brand new Sierras (Denali of course), Silverados and F-150s. These are also the same people that complain about how expensive gas is.

They also complain about the cost of their registration. I drive an 01 2500HD with a duramax, and it only cost me $150 a year to register.

not sure where you are, but PA has insane registration prices for trucks. I live in OH and I think I pay like 40 or 50 for my 3500

Colorado. Everything is based on vehicle book value.

PA rates trucks on GVW, so a 20 year old truck costs the same as a new truck to plate.
