RUC weight code question for Hilux Surf.

fourplay, May 9, 8:29am
Our Diesel 1997 Surf is a category 02 on the sticker, looking up the website we are thinking it should be a 01 category, effectively costing us nearly $1000 extra over the life of the car. Any other Surf owners know the correct code ?. Thanks in advance.

it is 02, I don't know if the 01 category is still an option.

are you reading the type/category number or the weight number ?

it should be category 1 but weight 2.

as far as i know up to 3500 its all the same charges to buy road user , having a to low sticker still pays the same fees plus the cops be rubbing hands when you got a wrong number on your license for infringment money gathering
The current cost for a road user charges licence for light diesel vehicles (weighing 3.5 tonnes or less) is $58 per 1,000 kilometres.

Simple 1st start solution.
RING NZTA & ask them.
If no joy there, ask them who to ring regarding class alteration/investigation
