Most people don't care, and aren't going to spend the money to remove a system that works fine for them, and risk having to put it all back when the rules change again in a few years. And if you're in the states that do inspections or emissions, you still won't be able to register it.
Register it in a state that doesn't do emissions testing then, and I doubt it'll simply be reversed, feel its one and done, esp as I saw this:
Not a single manufacturer has said they are removing these systems. Zeldin is just saying whatever people want to hear.Register it in a state that doesn't do emissions testing then, and I doubt it'll simply be reversed, feel its one and done, esp as I saw this:

Lee Zeldin spoke today at a conference in Washington, I personally asked him when Americans could go purchase a diesel truck or equipment without DEF and tier 4 emissions. He stated we are talking to the manufacturers and by model year 2027 we will not only be free of these in the truck industry but all equipment will be free of all tier 4 and DEF emission standards.
Doubt Manufacturers would do that if they were afraid the next admin would reverse shit
Montana won't let you register if you don't live there, but there is somewhat of a loophole.
Too much critical thinking for the internet.
A lot of cities and states have laws on the books that require residence of an area to have their vehicle titled and registered for that residency. Or you need to apply for a 90-Day Non-Resident (Drive Out) Permit. You can play the game of out of state registrations but if you get caught it's just one more thing they can pile on legally.
Wrong. You can start an LLC in Montana and register the vehicles under the LLC.
I know people that have tried that and it didn't work out too well for them. Commercial insurance is expensive, and they won't cover an accident when they find out you were using the car for personal use in another state.
This is the crux of the issue. I live in rural New Mexico where there is zero accountability. You can literally buy a brand-new diesel truck today and delete it tomorrow. It really boils down to a moral/ethical decision. Even though I fully support the current presidential administration, I still follow the laws. I believe it's my moral and ethical responsibility to keep the emissions system in good working order until the law changes.
Biodiesel, the attachment in your post is an interesting argument. Please keep in the loop if you find out about any response.
This is a legitimate, fair point, worthy of genuine discussion.
