I'm all for reducing the maximum allowable weight of consumer vehicles. If you legitimately need a bigger truck, get a proper commercial license. Otherwise, use a @#$% normal sized vehicle to get groceries.
Incrementally increasing the gas tax (*) every year would help here.
(*) Eventually to include all forms of energy, of course.

I'm wondering if the subtext is that they don't want to stump up the money for the infrastructure seeing as they don't have much of a tax base to draw on.

No. That's not the subtext. Not at all. And getting into the specifics of the subtext would be heading straight into politics, so let's just leave it alone.
