Canadian market trucks

[dantheman68]

Hey first time poster here. I'm looking at a Gold CPO candian market 2022 XLT here in the US at a local Ford dealer. The truck has MPH gauges and a mile odometer. I think I read that this truck would also have daytime running lights standard. There also are no syrup holders or Tim Hortons stickers anywhere.

It seems like theres really little functional difference in US and CAN trucks with Ford however something feels weird to me about buying a truck intended for another country.... are there any issues down the road if I sell it or anything strange looking on the title? Does a canadian truck trade in less than equivalent US truck even if brought up to US spec?

Any additional advice is appreciated.

Tim Hortons sucks.

I wouldn't think the truck would have much of a value difference. You'll have to enlighten me what the differences are beyond the imperial/metric and the DRL.

LOL, A Timmie's sticker on it would be equivilent to seeing a 10K claim on carfax.


I can't see any reason why a Canadian truck would be worth less, they are all made in the US at the same factories.

Canadian trucks can be a bit rusty, like trucks from the Midwest in the US, because they salt their roads.

I'm in Alberta and they don't use salt here. It doesn't work on -15 temps.
Canada does have a rust belt, Ontario and Quebec use a lot of salt, prairie trucks rarely see salt.

Yeah they dont resell here well. Candyland salts everything. The reason cans resell them south for the currency exchange and with the hopes that people in non-salt states arent looking too hard. Stay way away from anything coming out of canada.

Did you not read my post? Holy Crap.
The prairies in Canada do not use salt.
The amount of non-rusted vehicles coming from this area to the US is amazing, everything from 10 year old vehicles to classic cars, all without a hint of rust on them.
I personally know a US vehicle importer who constantly buys many vehicles from this part of Canada for US destinations.
No different than you buying a vehicle from a dry area like Arizona and not from a place that uses a ton of salt in the winter.

Get your facts straight before you paint all of Canada imports in one brush.

Yes all ten people selling their trucks in the real canada might not see salt.

Be real, most of that shit getting hauced from up there is coming out of Quebec and Ontario.

No one should be buying shit out of Canada, and I dont just mean trucks.

Yeah well I'm in Wisconsin we salt everything here as well.

It's an Ontario truck.

No salt out west. Eastern provinces it can be a problem
Anyway for export market they only ship the grade A trucks, so should be problem free. The badly made stuff they leave for the domestic market, where standards are generally lower; FMC know they can get away with it.

I had an imported Canadian F150. It was a XLR XTR. I think it might have been the equivalent of a sport or an stx. It was a 21. I think the only thing I noticed was the analog guages had both kilometers and miles per hour.

I live in Canada and would not buy a vehicle from Ontario or Quebec because of the salt. That being said, wash the truck regularly and problem solved.

I just bought a 2022 that came from Canada. Made at the claycomo mo plant. Only 23k and 0 rust.
i was concerned there could be warranty issues as the window sticker said “not intended for sale in the US”.
I had it In for minor warranty issues and the dealer had no issue doing the work.

Honestly the use of road salt is the least of my worry. It's had 2 years of winter. I've already looked under the truck and the next 10 years I have it it will be driven in road salt and washed weekly at least during winter. I live in the rust belt. Unless I fly somewhere and drive a car back I'm not getting a truck that has not seen road salt up until this point. If it's been washed regularly and cared for is what's important and what can be seen.

I'm concerned with the other stuff.
