Oh, the joys of vehicle shopping....

Alright, I said I was done but here's my final post in this topic: With regard to the Canada sourced vehicles, talking to the salesman yesterday it sounds like the reason so may trucks like this are sourced from Canada is not because someone is trying dump Canadian rust-buckets onto unsuspecting buyers in the American West, but rather it is buyers who are taking advantage of favorable exchange rates on Canadian currency to buy trucks for low (US) prices for resale in the US. Since NAFTA allows North American made vehicles to cross the border without tariffs, there is very little cost to buying a vehicle with cheaper Canadian dollars and selling for more expensive US dollars. Which makes sense.

Mine doesn't appear to have a speck of rust on it.

Just out of curiosity, do you know which province it came from?

Ah, just down the road from me. No salt used down there in winter. You should be good to go. Congrats on the new truck!
