South Dakota tags for Clyde are $118, and have been since I titled him there (Mom worked in Pierre at the time, and Dad cosigned the loan).

 

Wyoming looks like it could run from $329 to $400, depending on what values are used. I wounder if I can use actual weight and what I paid? :lol:

Here is what the folks in Denver get to deal with:

Sales tax is calculated on the net purchase price (which is the total purchase price less the amount allowed by a dealer for any trade-in). The rate of tax for Denver County residents is as follows:

 

 

Sales Tax  Rate
Colorado State Tax 2.90%
RTD Tax 1.10% 
Denver City Tax  4.31%
Total Sales Tax 8.31%

this blew me away when I moved to Colorado...

I forgot to mention something that OK has running as a government backed scam, I couldn't believe it was real.

 

Oklahoma has a majestic book of values it is based on, that excludes any condition or the mileage. That is what you are taxed on for the registration fees. Some of you may remember the Z28 I had a few years ago and the rant that went with the purchase. It had 282k miles and a disgusting interior, bought to be a track car. I paid like 3000 something for it, and when I went to register, they say, oh, that's more than 20% off book value, so that(the mystical book value) is what you will be charged. Book value was like 6k. So I was taxed for 6k.  If your purchase price is so far off the "book", you get charged the book, even if you have a bill of sale or invoice with price. They said it doesn't matter if it's destroyed and has a million miles, you pay what the state decided it is worth.

I titled my use 76 Corvette in Utah in like 1980 and was charged full NEW MSRP for sales and registration. Reason given was Luxury Tax on certain cars and Corvettes were one of those cars.

If the Statute of Limitations has not expired, Have a lawyer go after them. State pays lawyer fees...you get your money back.

 

Next time pick a track car that qualifies for the antique plates to screw the State.

The state law was rigged like that to get around the lower fees compared to other states.  Suing over your tax rate? That won't end well. 

 

Anyway, I got my tribal citizenship so I pay those fees now instead.

Alberta does charge more, at least for commercial plates, based on the vehicles weight rating.

I thought they might. Any idea if they typically consider a half ton a commercial vehicle?

I don't know for sure, but I think 1500/2500/3500 trucks can be either personal or commercial, it's up to you to select which it is, and there probably is some cutoff a little higher GVWR than 3500's have.

$164.69 for my 2009 3500HD here in Florida.  Pretty much any modern fullsize pickup have tags that expire in December and cars go by birth month of the owner.  Tags use vehicle gross I believe, my tag did go up from my '06 2500HD to the 2009 3500.  Then again everything seems to go up almost every year anyway.  If you want exact #s I can probably search my emails for the receipts.
Is that for 1 year?

My 1500 was $80-something for a year, with the option for 2 years at 2x cost (no savings).

The pricing isn't quite based solely on weight. You can have a 6800 pound Suburban and still pay the same as a small car. The weight thing applies specifically to pickup trucks. If you are under 5,000 pounds, you pay the normal rate. Above 5,000, you start paying the higher "Heavy Truck" rates and expiration is always 12/31.

California goes by weight to consider it a commercial vehicle. I just paid $586 for 1 year registration renewal. 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 Crew Cab.

Yeah that's for a year.  I too get no discount on paying 2 years vs 1 year.

    • Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.    
    • I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
    • No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course. 
    • How about them NICKS!!! 
    • Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
