CA Smog

Are 2008 and newer stock trucks set up to pass California smog? I don't want to buy one from another state if I have to pay to get it smog ready...

 

Just make sure the truck came with the 50state emissions from the factory.

 

I know anything SR5/TRD has the 50 state for sure, I think they all are 50 state though 05+

That doesn't mean people haven't modified it and made it no longer 50 state (removed secondary charcoal air filter, exhaust/header mods, ect)

 

X2. They should all pass emissions if they are stock and havent been messed with. Luckily I live in a smaller rural town that doesnt have any emissions.

 

This tells how to check. Note, if a vehicle has less than 7500 miles on it, it's considered "new".

I'm not sure about this but they might also charge some other fees for an out of state vehicle purchased by a California resident:

technically I am a Nevada resident... It all depends on who you ask...
