I will buy an F-150 Eco with Max Tow (2012). They are much cheaper in Canada right now with the weak Canadian dollar (damn oil!). And Edmonton is full of Max Tows.

Importing is not difficult. But one I am looking at is still under warranty. Anyone have experience getting their Canadian Ford serviced under warranty in USA?

Or has anyone recently brought a vehicle to the USA?

Thanks. New to forum as don't have a Ford truck (yet).

 

Best bet now is to go to your local FORD dealer and ask them! Just don't tell them you haven't bought it yet.

 

Contact ford of Canada for more information on getting warranty in the US.

 

From the 2012 F150 warranty guide:

DO WARRANTIES APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
and the
Emissions Warranties
described in this booklet apply to your vehicle if:
•
it was originally purchased through the Ford Export Operations
Military Sales Program; or
•
it was originally sold or leased by Ford Motor Company or one of its
dealers in the United States or U.S. Federalized Territories, and it was
originally registered/licensed and operated in the United States, U.S.
Federalized Territories, or Canada.
If you meet either of these two requirements, you do have warranty
coverage when you travel with this vehicle outside the United States,
U.S. Federalized Territories, or Canada. In some cases, however, you may
have to pay the servicing Ford dealer in a foreign country or U.S.
Federalized Territory for a repair that is covered under the U.S.
warranty. If this happens, be sure to save the paid repair order or
invoice. You should present this document to a U.S. Ford Motor
Company dealer for warranty refund consideration. Refer to
www.Ford.com for additional customer assistance reference information.

 

That applies for a person who resides in the country it was purchased in, but who is travelling to other countries.

 

Then maybe someone can provide the Canadian version of this warranty page. I couldn't find it.

Back when the Canadian dollar was around 1:1 with the USD, we imported a lot of American trucks northwards. Now that we are down at $0.75, the flow is the other way. I guess that's one advantage of having such a friendly neighbour.
I know several guys who have recently sold trucks to wholesalers that are shipping them southwards. I am in the process of doing that same thing. Apparently after shipping and prep costs, it is around $4000 per truck to get it to the destination dealerships. I guess there's still good profit to be made even after that. It's a good way to keep the price of used trucks high up here, as it removes a lot of vehicles from our local system. I think it's also helping people here decide to skip buying recent used trucks, and buying brand new instead. When a three year old truck is only $5000 cheaper than brand new, it's easy to talk yourself into a 2015/16.

Anyway, that doesn't really provide any info on the warranty situation. Just rambling.
