2014 F150 4x4 CC, 5.5 bed/Ecoboost/1828lbs payload

I found a truck with nearly all I want.
The dealer is asking $30,988

33,000 miles
Equipment Group 302A/XLT Series
18" wheels with all terrain tires
3.73 electronic lock axle
Max Tow Package-11,000lbs tow capacity
36 gallons tank
145" wheelbase

Thing is, it was made for Canadian market. The dealer brought it over to the US.

Would love opinions on the truck and the asking price.

    :) Hi, other than the Canadian part and a slightly higher payload ( mine is 1745 lbs.) this truck is almost exactly like mine. Mine even has similar mileage too. I think the price is good if it is mostly what you want. You can find a lot of other trucks and for less, but they don't have the tow options that I would want.
  • The latest craze is to buy the used trucks in Canada and import them to sell here. They must get one hell of a deal on them to do it. The one I was looking at didn't work out. I researched the truck heavily one night because I didn't want a mine truck. It turned out to be a mine truck after I read between the lines of the registration renewal locations. Probably why the dealer never called me back with the info I requested.

    Daytime running lights and speedometer numbers would be KPH largest and MPH smaller.

    Might not be California certified another?

    What does that truck sticker for new? North is 40 I bet, I would offer 25k.
  • $31k is a lot to pay for a 3 going on 4 yr old truck. For a few thousand more you could go brand new. That's what i did and have no regrets. Trucks hold their value so well, with rebates and incentives it does not pay to buy used, imo, if your lookjng at trucks only a few years old. Good luck
