With (pickup) trucks, the GVW is used, in part, to determine the fees to soak you with. Registered as a TRUCK, it's something to haul things and (OMG!) make money, so they fee the hell out of it.
That's exactly why they do it. It's easy money for the state. Here in PA, if you buy a pickup, you'll get hit with extra fees...and an additional sticker on your windshield. I'm sure you have to pay a bit more for the "truck" license plates as well. What can I say, other than my state invented red tape

Good grief, I don't think we do that in AR, but the last time I had a pick-up, it was a 1980 Ford Courier. Loved that little pick-upable truck!
OT, I just... no. I may know where my kid's butt has been, but not where other people's packages have! And ugggghh, have I had some very dirty packages delivered.
If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.
