I could handle the insurance increase, that was understandable, but the PPT I feel is unreasonable. Owning a nice truck for pleasure use and having to upwards of 10 to 13K in personal property tax over the first 5 years of ownership was just too much for me to swallow.

We are back in our F150 and will be back looking for a 10 year or older one to buy that hopefully won't cost so much in property tax & would not be a daily driver. . . .

Thanks for your help everone
This is one of my struggles with buying a newer truck. Taxes and licensing are "out of control".
