    ........... even the ol 110 axel load will be feeling it. Don't wish to brag, but you should have bought a 130. Well for those long haul trips anyway.

    Happening in NT also, we just sold one of our F250 work utes with the 7.3turbo to a guy who had been caught really badly up there. They made him empty half his caravan on the side of the road. He said he was one of many that day alone. There were even trucks there charging people to take their belonging to Darwin for them. Very well organised from what he told us when he picked up the truck.

    haha, but it is optional. The legislation is clear, you can choose not to pay this other tax.

    Like the people that complain about speeding fines - it is also an optional tax.

    As someone that was rear-ended by a car towing a large boat on an unbraked trailer (insurance co reported it was 1800kg) - writing off my car and badly injuring one of my kids in the back seat. I say there should be many more inspections picking up **** heads that are over weight.
