That is a Transport Canada safety standards decal and it just means the truck would be legal for sale in canada. Do you have the history of the vehicle? Was it owned by a canadian at any point?

I don't have any history on the truck other than that I am the 3rd owner. I would love to get a marti report for it but can't see a reason to justify the $55 price.

The ones that are made for sale in Canada have Kilometer speedometers
I agree the truck was made in Canada for the US market
Blame the UAW

At some point that sticker was incorporated into the vin decals for Canadian vehicles - 20 ish yrs ago.. afaik, It is no longer a separate decal.
CMVSS - Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

I’m not sure what they do today, but there used to be a decal installed when importing vehicles to Canada privately by a Canadian inspector. And I can’t remember what it looked like.. there may have been more than one decal applied, and that may have been one of them.

The OP’s truck was made in the USA. That is not a Canadian built truck / VIN decal.

Examples of new vin decals. Any I’ve seen on newer vehicles, has it on the vin decal now.

Okay, but then why does it say made in the USA on the bottom of that vin label?
And, that would mean that original sticker the op posted was just a transport sticker?
If so, why the transport to and from Canada?
Something must have been made or assembled in Canada?
Maybe just the sticker was made in The USA
Either way
Chalk it up to the unions and the UAW for new vehicle pricing and Canada / Mexico producrtion

I am assuming you are referring to the vin decal examples I posted? Those trucks were made in the USA for sale in Canada.

Ford Canada has not made trucks since.. 1997??

Yes, the first decal/sticker posted by the OP is issued by Transport Canada to validate that vehicle meets Canadian standards.

Lots of vehicles are brought back and forth. Imported, then sold back out of country.

OP’s vehicle. Mfd, by Ford Motor Company in USA, May 1993.



My ‘96, Mfd, by Ford Motor Co of Canada. Made in Oshawa, Ontario, October 1995.

That sticker means the truck will apologize if it bumps into something, or even just squeezes by another vehicle. Sorry, sorry. How aboot that, eh?
