Wow- you're less than 500lb from not being able to take it down some 
roads and bridges.

The X5, Touraeg, Cayenne, Expedition and Excursion (among others) are 
all over 6,000 lb GVWR- and when people register them as "commercial" 
vehicles to get the tax writeoff, they become illegal in many cities 
and towns to drive on small roads and bridges.

SUV owners then say, "oh, but that's gross weight, it doesn't really 
weigh that much" - but the tax writeoff is based on GVWR.

Redefines "have your cake and eat it too".
