Buying out of California - no taxes/fees...you of course get to the DMV and there you pay all the normal taxes/fees.
The DMV used the Tare Weight on the paperwork from Team, and I did have to get a California Smog Check...and someone will check all the stickers under the hood and the VIN number...went pretty smooth...

Many Ford dealers will not sell to CA residents. One example is Lasco Ford in Michigan. They have a base model black SCAB at $2500 under msrp that I am interested in but they said no. Claimed it was due to CA emissions.

Yep, many dealers won't sell to people in CA - they are stupid. Every Raptor has 50 state emissions. I still don't understand why ford makes it an option, when the option is just a piece of paper.

The dealership said Raptors come in two versions from the factory. CA emission compliant and a “brown” emission version for the rest of the country.

This is 100% false. Every raptor has 50 state emissions.
