In New Mexico, motor vehicles with a declared gross vehicle weight (DGVW) exceeding 26,000 pounds are subject to a weight-distance tax.

Failure to do so may result in a trip tax each time you enter or exit the state. The weight-distance tax is calculated by multiplying the miles traveled within New Mexico by the corresponding tax rate.
