What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[Chappy]

Hi Folks,

I received notice from Arizona DOT that I need to renew my license plate... Expensive! I opted for the 5 year renewal.... A mere $2100! Yikes!

WOW, Phil. I'm sure AZ is a beautiful place to live, but hearing this really makes me glad I live in Texas. Just annual inspection and registration renewal at about $85 in the DFW area. We may have other fees/taxes that fill that gap that you might not, however.

Wow, Phil that is expensive. Do they charge weight fees since it is a truck?

Just paid my 2 yr renewal which was $235 including $80 county add on to the state fees.

Hi Steve,

There is a valuation part of the fee which reduces on a sliding scale. For example, when we arrived in Arizona in our Motorhome, I inquired of ADOT about license for the motorhome... It was $4000 per year as the valuation of $250,000. I stayed with Michigan as I own a condo there...only $650 per year. Now some 15 years later, I tagged it in AZ as Michigan was still $650 and AZ had dropped to $250... Arizona is not all that cheap a place to live...Food is higher priced than Michigan. Fuel is relative cheap. Housing is on the low side and taxes are half for my house than my tiny little Michigan Condo.

I finally installed the diamondback cover and cab guard. I still need to adjust the rear panel for a tighter seal but it started raining. So good enough for today.

One thing I've learned in life - if they don't get you one way, they will get you another.

One thing Oregon has that is nice - a new vehicle registration is good for 4 years - we have to do a smog check every renewal, so being able to go 4 years is really nice.

AZ higher than HI, annual registration for my '20 is $460, my cousin's F-350 dually is close to $900, but I bet you don't have to drive on roads that would make a 3rd. world country road engineer cringe such as we have here...

Does my truck photos look like a supercrew?

Ordered the set today, can't wait too get them and installed.

AVS Aeroskin II hood protector and Custom Autoworks Raptor-style grille lights came in last night. Now if the weather would improve, I can install all this new stuff stacking up. It's almost as bad as when I had stuff sitting in the garage waiting for the Ranger to be delivered. Yah, I know...first-world problems.

Hi lift jack and winch kit arrived. With 2wd and having gotten stuck before, glad to have it.
