this truck doesn't have that, but the ETIS report listed the truck as having "with heavy duty trailer towing"
not sure if that is what you were talking about or not
I would LOVE a 5.0 truck with 3.73's, trailer brake controller, and towing mirrors! the 6.5' box is gravy too!

It does look like the trailer towing capacity is 9,100lbs which is also a nice feature for sure.
Also according to the ETIS is says "Less Elect Locking Differential". However when I last test drove it the other day, I noticed it was there and tested it out to make sure it engaged properly and it did. Not sure if that was a Typo or not.

Note that when this truck was "converted" to US spec so it could sell here, the used the wrong gauge cluster. You have a base package gauge cluster, not the nice FX4 one.
Also, since this is the 6.5' bed with supercrew, drive it for a while to see if you get any driveline vibration. Many with this wheelbase suffer from this issue due to the wrong shims used to line up the rear axle. The driveline angles get screwed up and put into a bind.

I did notice that. I've read that others have had the same thing on theirs from Canada. I've also read some have had the Ford Dealers replace them free of charge. Guess I'll have to reach out to Ford and find out. Would be nice to have the FX Cluster.
Ill definitely report back if I notice the vibrations.

So, did you buy a truck, and if so, what did you get

The Canadian market uses their own set of Black books and Blue books for valuation. I'd imagine that once the currency conversion has happened the prices would wash out pretty close at auction.

I would have to agree with you.
