"The heavier the vehicle, the more it chews up the roads, endangers pedestrians and smaller vehicles, and makes noise."
Whoever knew there was a direct correlation to noise and weight.

Um I think that yall are reading this wrong. What the article is saying is that they have inadvertantly outlawed suvs on certain roads. The 6k pound limit was intended for large industrial trucks, not suvs.
"But local officials either don't realize they've banned big SUVs, or they're hoping no one will make a stink."
In other words I think this law was meant for tractor trailors, big *** work trucks, busses, large campers, that kind of stuff.

I can vouche that the Ram 1500 is wrong. It's more like 5350 lbs. I realize that wasn't your point but I just felt like typing. 
Don't forget all of Ferds big trucks like the EXCURSION or practically any of their 250 and up trucks. BiiiIIIIIGGG!!!
I wish the Ram DID tip the 6000lb mark. I could take some big write-offs.
EDIT: Those are gross weights, not curb weights. I didn't think some of those tipped 6000lbs
