    Not worth it to me. I won’t pay the fee and then have to pay to have my truck tested quarterly just to have the privilege to drive in that state.

    And its total b.s. how they’re going all in on EV’s to the point that out of state dealers won’t be able to sell new trucks to CA residents, but never mind the fact that the grid out there can’t handle it on a hot day when people need to run their a/c’s at home.

    CARB is a joke. Just a bunch of appointed idiots out of touch with the real world. And how they’ve gotten away with interfering with interstate commerce is beyond me.

    In the name of the greater good, don’t you know? :rolleyes:

    Of course when using that logic no slope becomes too slippery, even incarceration for breaking wind the wrong way.

    I agree alot with this. I'm not a tree hugger, nor trying to cause harm purposely. If they could build a clean, affordable, reliable, with substantial mpg increase. I would concider upgrading. But we have not had that option since 2003. My personal opinion is these epa engines/trucks are not as clean as we are told. At the price and cost, I would need to see 16mpg or higher to justify the cost and maintenance.

    Again just my opinion.

    Why are aircraft ignored? They're the biggest contributors of heavy metals and it rains down on everybody and everything below snd nothing is being done about it.

    Because it would affect the people pushing this crap. Mainly there pocketbook. But everyone’s else’s they don’t care about. Except to get as much of it as they can.
