Toyota got around the tax by importing the trucks without a bed. The bed would be installed in the states. In Chile, a company vehicle has to be a truck, so they would buy crew cab S-10’s. They were able to get them way before the US saw them.Oh, there are probably a million of them. My "favorite" is the chicken tax that makes it all but impossible to import European light trucks.

Could you define blow-hard? I'm perplexed.It was either Isuzu or Subaru, I can’t remember which, that put seats in the bed to get around it.
What Wyoming passed is a non-binding resolution. It’s just blow-hard politicians doing what they do….waste time and resources.
OK, that makes sense. I don't know where my mind was going with that.Blowhard: Someone who talks a lot without saying anything.
Who is having a meltdown?That's funny, California is actually trying to ban petroleum burning vehicles and no one is allowed to be outraged. But Wyoming is only joking about banning electric vehicles to poke fun at California and people are having a meltdown.
Look at post #2 and read between the lines.Who is having a meltdown?
That's just the perception I get. It seems to me a lot of people get really defensive when anyone says something negative about electric vehicles. And I notice that if I ever try to present any information on the negative environmental impact of electric vehicles or the negative impact on the societies that have to gather the resources my post gets promptly deleted. I really don't understand why hearing both sides of the electric vehicle debate on an electrical forum is controversial. But I guess some people must have had a meltdown and complained because if no one melted down I wouldn't have been censored.Who is having a meltdown?
Plenty of lithium criticism sticks on this forum. We were calling it "Bat Crap" 2-weeks ago, and nothing was deleted.try to present any information on the negative environmental impact of electric vehicles or the negative impact on the societies that have to gather the resources my post gets promptly deleted.
I call that;The problem is, it is people in the big cities that push this stuff. Fine for the big city, but not even close to being practical outside the suburbs, but they want to make everybody do it.
