Isuzu trucks banned in California!

Plumber said:

As of 01/2023, Isuzu trucks are banned on California roads!

I was at the Benz dealership last night and the salesman told me about a California landscaper sending five workers up to Washington state (my home) to pick up five cutaways because he can't run his 20 Isuzus on any road in California. He's scrambling to find replacement trucks.

I can't find a box truck here that's worth anything here and the Sprinters are 100% overpriced. I've got journeyman signing on in two weeks and I ain't got a truck for the man.

It is California's fault.

Why Isuzu trucks in particular? The gas models have the same engine as Chevy trucks and vans. And I know I've seen a few diesel Isuzus stamped "CA Certified Clean Idle."

You got troubles....
Look on Facebook market place and on occasion a decent box truck
comes up for sale within 300 miles of you.... You got to be like a hawk
and watch for a rare jem to come up once in a few months that is worth
the troubles. and pounce on it fast.
... I got my last truck from that site and something similar
popped up again back in august that I should have bought but did not need it....

Just keep a close eye on that Face Bok site and one will pop up ever so often,,, you got to look
at it like making it into a morning habit to find one...

No wonder plumbers have to charge so much for service....

I regret not buying the 14 foot 1999 ford box truck I saw last fall for 10k.. it only had 48,000
miles on it and was kept in a garage its whole life... Still would have to throw a lift gate on it
for another 6k.

Maybe I guess I am a tight ass, but someday soon I will be gone so I cant see throwing 50 k
into a truck

This one I saw today is not too bad but its just too far away for you

So I should fly out to Cali and buy a cheap Isuzu truck to drive home. Thats what this thread is telling Me.

Plus I might find a Spanish girlfriend while I’m out there. Sounds good……

@ROCKSTARPLUMBER Let’s go buy trucks and Spanish girlfriends in Cali. If they cook and clean out wives might let us keep them……..the girls not the trucks 👊

I'll be gone soon, too, but I figure I may as well go in comfort.

The new tech in the new trucks are way good. The cameras, warning signals, wi-fi, 10 speed turbo v-6, 12" screen...

I have 3 used older trucks at this time and I am not gonna cater to some employee who
might only be with me for a short while trashing my new truck out for me.....I have had
that happen before to me long ago....

I looked at a new 14 foot GMC with a side door and lift gate and it was gonna cost
about 85k by the time you paid taxes and outfitting
the truck...... never went further than that but I wonder
what the payment would have been for 5 years??

Sometimes I wonder what the payment is on a brand new truck at this time
and what would happen if their was no one in good enough health to pay the bills??
