No Wonder...(You must see this to believe this...)

Look how much the registration cost on my truck...
As if the registration isn't a huge rip on my dads Delivery Truck...I can't believe how much it is,its a 33 year old beat up pile of rust.

Now I have to go get a job...
I mean what's with all the weight fees?

A Weight Fee Penalty?
This is all California's fault...

 

[miottimouse]

man and i thought our goverment in canada/alberta had fees but i gotta say it sounds like someone in the big house had WAY to much time on their hands to think of all those charges almost looks like my power bill

Do you have to pay that much every year?

 

[Fordedselfanatic]

I just registered my '77 F250. $53.00

Will your truck pull a U-Haul trailer?
Get out while you can.
Go east...stop somewhere in the middle.

It makes one wonder, with those exorbitant registration fees, why Californica is going broke.

 

[Mil1ion]

Looks like it is classed as a commercial vehicle.

That would explain all the penalties and fees.

You want warm air and shaky ground ?then you're gonna pay for it

 

[DNFXDLI]

Jeez...and I grouched about paying about $400 per year for the 750 and thats licenced for 33000#....I'll consider myself lucky I don't live there!

HAHAHA, in oh so many ways!!!

When we did the 72 it was pretty cheap even with buyin new plates. I cant remember how much it was though.

 

[TexasNomad]

My truck is a commercial vehicle, actually all pickups in CA are classed as commercial vehicles because if not, you arent allowed to put things in the bed, true story.

Regular CA license plates: (# = Number / X = Letter)
#XXX###

Commercial Plate

#X#####

Living in CA sucks...

 

[76f350spercamprspeal]

Yeah ALL Pickups out here are considered commercial...
If it has 1 letter in the license plate number then its commercial.
Thats why he don't get driven...

 

[Skandocious]

All-- rest assured that that is not a REGULAR amount to pay for registration here in California. Not sure why he has all of those extra fees but mine was nowhere near that much. I think around $100.

 

[89frankenford]

DAYUM!!! i think mine was about $120 WITH a vanity plate!!

 

[Fordzilla80]

I bet the person working the counter at the DMV was just jealous of his truck...

But seriously,that's way too much for registration.

 

[Mil1ion]

He should make the truck work it off

Perhaps remove the bed,install a ramp and haul classic trucks and cars to car shows

Yeah I think mine should be no more than $100.00 as well,its 19 Years older than your truck...
I think they are just jealous of my cool truck
someone told me to put a camper shell on the back and then I could register it as a passenger vehicle...

 

[masterbeavis]

The registration is that high because of Penalties because the truck was not put on NON-OP when the registration had expired. The longer you let the penalties fester, the more they will go up. Next year they will be around $1000... Two years gets expensive... I have one truck that I bought that had over 1K over in penalties, they went for about 4 years.

Food for thought, if you put a Tonneau cover, or a camper shell on your pickup, you can apply for non commercial plates, your registration will be about $70 a year. Don't get caught without those on your truck if you change your registration.

 

[money_pit]

Doesn't your state offer some other kind of registration for old or collectable vehicles ? I have a collectable plate on mine. I had to jump through a lot of hoops but in the end I got one. It only cost me $75 and it was a one time fee, I never have to renew it again.

Your truck ain't so cool if they are charging you all that money. Get a cover of some kind to put on the rear and take the hitch off.
