I think that's true with things like 3/4 ton trucks and vans. The Hummer 
is likely to get a Gas Guzzler tax, though. (Unless the Hummer has the 
3/4 ton payload & towing capacity, then it would be exempt, as it is, 
after all, classified as a truck. Yay lobbyists!)

In Texas I see lots of people driving 3/4 ton trucks as a status symbol. 
  You can always tell, because they usually aren't actually hauling 
anything, and have a tiny ball hitch suitable for pulling a small 
fishing boat that a simple 4 cylinder car could pull. :)
