The loan applicant must be on the title. The co-signer can certainly insist on being on the title to the vehicle. That would make it easier to take possession of the car if the primary borrower defaults.

However, it also makes the co-signer vulnerable as a co-owner of a vehicle being owned and operated by a person with a poor credit history. There may be liability issues in case of an accident. There may be costs if the primary allows the insurance to lapse, or they accumulate unpaid traffic violations and the vehicle is impounded.

A co-signer must make certain they are fully informed before signing their name as the responsible party. The reasons for not co-signing are abundant.

Control in what sense? Sell them, transfer title? The cosigner guarantee's the loan on the vehicles and would need to agree to selling them and sign the title. You can use them for any purpose, do anything with them including burning them. You will still be responsible for the loan and if not you the cosigner will have to pay the loan off.

Can a cosigner on a vehicle register a vehicle if they are not on the title?

No, a cosigner cannot register a vehicle if they are not listed on the title. The title typically indicates ownership, and only individuals named on the title have the authority to register the vehicle. The cosigner's role is to guarantee the loan, not to confer ownership rights. Therefore, the person whose name is on the title must complete the registration process.
