Cool. Now I'll get Stalin-esque. Slap an enormous, annual tax on trucks,
unless an owner can show that he actually has a purpose for it, other
than
"I just wanted a Dodge with a hemi so I could hang chrome accessories on
it". No trailer registered to the same owner, meaning he tows nothing? He
gets taxed. Not in a profession which actually requires a truck, like
carpenters & landscapers? He gets taxed. If a doctor decides to become a
plumber, there are ways of giving him back his surcharge in future years.
No
more buying a huge truck just because every 4 years, you need to bring
home
a bale of peat moss.



Hey, don't forget to slap that tax on those who could've gotten away
with using a minivan but CHOSE to get a vehicle with rear-wheel drive
instead, although they had NO REAL REASON for it, other than, "I didn't
want front wheel drive".



I had actual experience towing with front wheel drive. Only stupid people
suggest it as a good idea for towing. Passable, but far from optimal. How
about you? What do you have to back up YOUR comment about it?


I tow my boat with a FWD Dodge Caravan. It is completely passable. I
could choose a RWD for convenience, but it IS NOT a necessity, it is a
CHOICE.

More left-wing-nut hypocrisy.
