Do any Canadian members have the real details about importing a U.S. truck into Canada.
This page https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/road/importing-vehicle/purchased-united-states.html only has the unhelpful generalization that "A vehicle modified from its original state may not qualify to be imported into Canada. Canadian-owned vehicles modified in the U.S. also may not qualify for return to Canada. Examples can include: "

I'm not doing it, but I'm looking for details. For instance, I've added HD top overload springs to carry my truck camper weight, which do nothing when the truck is empty. Is that not allowed?
What about an Eaton electric locker in the front axle. Is that no good?
Camper mirrors? A camper battery charge circuit?

I have emailed the Registrar of Imported Vehicles, but no reply yet.

Thanks for any info
Cal

They're looking for stuff like modified bumpers, maybe daylight running lights. The sticker on the door that says meets Transport Canada specs. Keep in mind dealers/brokers import used trucks all the time.
