I'm considering buying a small truck or mini-van
to use as a second family vehicle and for light moving.
Does anyone know if I will pay an insurance penalty
(higher premium for equal value vehicle) for either
of those?
If a truck costs more to insure than a van of the same
value, or vice versa, it might influence my choice,
and if a car would have lower premiums (premia?)
than both, I might just forget the whole idea.
Car insurance rates are high enough in New Jersey as
it is.
I checked with my insurance agent, and he refuse to
answer the question, saying that unless I had a specific
vehicle in mind (he needed the serial number) he couldn't
give me even a ballpark quote.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
