So I chased this to ground before I bough my truck out of state...
ALL Gen 2 Raptors have 50 STATE EMISSIONS
PEROD DOT.
"California Emissions" on the window sticker is a no cost option.
California actually doesn't care what's on the window sticker. If you buy out of state you will need:
Smog Cert - yes you will have to go and have your brand new truck tested. THAT IS WHO will verify that the sticker in the engine bay says it has 50 state emissions.
Weight Cert - California treats Pickups as a Commercial Vehicle so it has to be weighed to determine the weight fee.
SALES TAX - California will collect the sales tax LESS whatever you paid where you bought it.
Certificate of Origin (Title) - you have to have the dealer/lender send a title cert to DMV.
I'm not guessing... I'm doing it now. And I have some experience with the California Vehicle Code.
IF A DEALER says - It doesn't have California emissions - ask the sale guy to go pop the hood on the truck and read the emissions sticker and call you back if it says "50 state emissions". I "educated" a couple of dealers during my hunt...
"Why don't they just put it on all the window stickers?" California Emission used to have a performance impact, in some parts of the country they do NOT want that on the window sticker because of the negative connotation. ;-)
window sticker doesn't matter. California DMV only cares about what is on the emissions sticker.
Pop the hood and look at the emissions sticker ( on the underside of the hood, left of the latch )
If it says California...and if it's a GEN 2 Raptor it will.
You are good to go.
Man when I was looking, Denver was as expensive as Cali for a Raptor...
