Yeah, this is what I meant. Slap taxes above a certain weight, and you will see manufacturers drop the weight to right below the threshold faster than you can

  Most states do their for pickup trucks regarding registration fees. It's about double the registration cost, but doesn't really factor in to most people's decision.

    That's funny because when car manufacturers decided to do universal cars (versus the old California-edition/49-state cars), the whole country went up in arms about how CARB was costing them so much and how "Commiefornia" was dictating their lives. Despite the additional cost being 300-600usd (depending on the vehicle) or so.

      Most of the car people were concerned about quality and not cost. Same reason people still opt for the non-CA brake cleaner and other solvents.

        When quality comes at the expense of pollutants, people measure their own priorities. The point is, you're welcome to shop for non-CA items, if they're legal in your region.
