    In New Hampshire we run them till the bed rusts off, build a homemade wooden flatbed and keep going lol. Some of the oldest diesel pickups I’ve ever seen running around up here all the time. I love it. I thought emission and all that was taking over the diesel industry but this state gives me reason to hope. Lots of old pre emissions diesels up here yet.

    It isn’t.
    But it might give them a wake up call and hopefully either amend things or change them outright.
    If you see a better deal down the road,buy it down the road.
    That’s driven our economy for decades!
    Let your wallet do the talking!;)

    Oh well. Bet companies will just buy their trucks in the neighbouring states. Only people this is going to hurt will be the dealerships.

    Doesn’t matter where you buy them, that State will not let you register them based on the build date

    Guess the state's going to lose a ton of business then.

    on a bunch of fronts.
    Far as Im aware nobodys building electric dump trucks or septic pumpers or concrete mixers at all. plus infrastructure for electric is no where near what would be needed.
    Just dumb overall thought process.
