I think the imports tried to over Americanize their trucks.
The fed should burn the individual state tail pipe emissions requirements. States like California have been trying to regulate exhaust emissions to clean their smoggy air for 50 years and it hasn't worked. Yes there is less smog compared to decades past, but they still come at worst air quality in the nation, so literally everyone has been able to clean their air better than California without their own emissions standards. So the only thing that will work is pollution exportation, generate power and air pollution up north and in other states and send it to the smog capitals.
