too lazy to call my agent and ask so i thought the wisdom of arfcom would know.   So when one buy liability only on a vehicle, does the type of vehicle matter seeing that they don't cover to fix it anyways?

No. Liability is to cover damage you cause to others. That's it.

Wrong. FPNI. Costs of liability coverage will vary based on the car you drive.  Drive a Corvette and you will pay more for liability coverag than if you drive a Sentra. J

My F- 250 4x4, F350 dually and Contour are within a dollar of one another. Was just going off my rates.

I just asked my daughter. She's a licensed insurance agent in TX.  

If ALL other factors are the same, only different vehicle, then YES, the premium will be different.  Even given the same model year, different price.

almost all of it is covered
but I will add this

the difference will not be very much for just liability a few dollars difference maybe
full coverage would be a much bigger difference
