Sure they will. Already do, in some states. Haven't you been reading any of Ultrarunner's posts about life in California? If it becomes National policy then whatever Texans prefer won't matter.

Not this newest model but the previous one. XT225. Had a 1992 and put thousands upon thousands of miles on it so in 2010 when a pristine 2007 (last year they were made before Yamaha went to the XT250) came up for sale with only 247 miles on it, I bought it. 8000+ miles on it now. Both bikes...

Yes, and in 4 years when Governor Newsome becomes President Newsome those pollution controls will come back, only be much harsher. (Enter your favorite tree-hugger's name here) Then what? Are we going to have to install DPF/DEF systems on all tractors, new and old, to be able to run them?

Much ado about nothing. That's my take after having owned a Kubota M7060 for the past 8 years. I too was worried about the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). No more. Regeneration is a seamless process...if it weren't for the light coming on in the dash telling me the regen process was...

For some manufacturers, maybe. And depends on the year. On my Fords the procedure to disable seat belt chimes/auto lock and other features is outlined in the owner's manual. On my new Toyota...NOPE! Not allowed! Some on the Toyota forums have been able to fix that by using a laptop and...

So give us an evaluation of the 3-wheeled Can-am. How's it compare to riding a two-wheeled motorcycle? What's your fuel mileage like? Just wondering because I'm kind of in the same boat - getting too old and clumsy to be on two wheels. But it seems to me that if I couldn't be leaning my...

Looks like a Rubicon that has never been off pavement! Because of where I live my rigs drive mostly dirt and gravel roads and those rocks really chew up the tires. Here's a shot of my Toyos at just over 24,000 miles:

I bought a bumper-pull 14k trailer in 1997 I think. Still on the original tires today. Very few miles on the trailer - tread looks like the tires are brand new. Trailer is stored in my pole barn so not exposed to sunlight or to any fumes of any sort. Every time I hook on to it and pull it...

Same here in Nevada. What is it with these young guys and straight pipes (no mufflers)? With the aggressive tires they run I can hear them coming from a mile down the road! Always a Dodge(Ram) Cummins - never hear a Powerstroke or Duramax modded this way.

My 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has crank windows. No power windows available in that year or earlier Jeep Wrangler. Not sure when Jeep started offering electric windows in the Wrangler.

Had one of those, spec'd just as you've listed, for many years, put thousands of trouble-free miles on it. Bought it for $1200 from a friend who used it as a wood-cutting truck. Pickup bed was removed and a flatbed installed, with high wood racks. It WOULD haul a load - I moved several...

You can thank all those hard working folks we elected to Washington, D.C. for the rules and regulations making that necessary. Start-stop. 0W20 weight motor oil. Cylinder deactivation. And so on. Engineers got these engines so they'd go 300,000 miles easy and now the bureaucratic mandates...

Goats and kids holding up traffic on the Beartooth Highway in Wyoming...elevation just shy of 11,000 feet. Photos taken a month ago.

I have the same complaint about my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. For example, if I'm coming into a town where the speed limit is 35 mpg and I back off the throttle it instantly downshifts. Then as I'm trying to maintain that 35 mph through town the tach jumps up and down a few hundred rpm the whole...

This is how I do it all the time. Buy the tires on-line and have a local tire dealer install them. Heard from those who've tried it that even using a tire machine, changing an ATV or UTV tire is MUCH harder than changing a car or truck tire.
