    That’s basically what it is. Carbon emissions and fuel mileage are also now going to be an item by which truck models are judged and held by.

    Google Phase 2 greenhouse gas regulations and also look into class 8 fuel economy standards.

    Which is a complete farce in itself. Far too many variables in fuel economy for trucks to even come up with a reliable number.

    This is basically a carbon tax scheme. What they really want to do is impose an open carbon tax on everyone for everything. The air you exhale and plants inhale it is supposedly a climate changing world ending thing that more taxes are going to save us all from.

    That's because it was pushed down our throats by a re-tard
    And now his co- heart is trying to shove electric vehicles up our arises
    They both have a love affair with tree hugers

    And I personally would much rather spend the money on a numbered 359 with a Cat motor
    That's a tried & true truck
    Way better investment in my opinion

    When it's gone it's gone. Sounds like a sales pitch to sell them for a even higher price than what people a paying now . Then about the last quarter of 2023 it'll be "Good news the 389 will be built for another year, get them while you can."
