California emissions

Maybe it’s just dealer policy ‍? Seems stupid to loose a sale over that

Yup brought my truck into California from Illinois with no problem at all. Just needed weight and smog and they handed me a registration sticker. As stated above, pretty much every vehicle from every company is 50 state legal.

What year truck? I'm looking at a truck in WI right now but am running into this same issue.

What issue? You weigh the truck, get it smogged and register it. I did it all through Auto Club when I bought my 2018 from out of state.

This. There is no issue.

Here is what the dealer emailed me: This Raptor will not meet California emissions. If you had a residence in a different state you could register it in that state so unless you bought it with 7500 miles on it and it was considered used you will not be able to register it in California.

It doesn't have the CA emissions on the window sticker and I'm assuming that it won't have one on the final sale document either, but as long as it has the CAE sticker under the hood and on the door, and I get it smogged and weighed I'm good to register?

I'm nervous about buying it and then having issues trying to get it smogged and registered here in CA without that emissions addition. I'm new to California and I haven't bought a vehicle in over 10 years so I'm just trying to make sure that I won't run into any problems with this, reading most of the posts seem that it is easily doable with just a smog and weighing.

The dealer is an idiot. Have him look under the hood for the emissions sticker. The window sticker is meaningless. Every truck has a 50 state CARB compliance sticker under the hood.

As @nikhsub1 said, look for the Ca emissions compliance on the truck as noted in the dmv website.

Dealer is a idiot. I bought mine the same way DMV pops the hood and verified the emission sticker is there. THEY ALL ARE 50 STATE LEGAL REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS ON THE WINDOW STICKER.

that’s redundant

So if I'm understanding this correctly - you buy it out of state, weight it, smog it - done.

Doesn't matter whats on the sticker? Seems easy enough, has me wondering where all this BS originated. Is it for dealers marking up certain cars? Pretty ridiculous...
