    People need to be made to pay the full cost for these things, for the CO2, for the damage to infrastructure, oe the air pollution, for the risk to people. That or regulate them out of existence.

        Registration is managed at the state level. In Minnesota weight is not a factor. The registration tax for passenger class vehicles (cars, vans and pickups rated at less than one-ton, and one-ton passenger vans) is determined by the vehicle’s base value and age. Minimum tax for vehicles 10 years old and older is $35.

        The newer and more expensive your vehicle the higher the tax. In terms of road repair costs, that is collected via a gas excise tax.
