Default 2013 F150 From Canada

I'm looking at buying an F150 FX4 that is currently at a dealer in the US, but the first registration was in Canada. Have you guys heard of or come across any problems with this switch?

I know it happens. What I'm looking for it more about feedback if anyone has come across problems with the engine or other factors once they started using US products. I had heard in the past someone had trouble with a car that was brought over and the mechanic chaulked it up to not adapting to different fuel/oil. I'm not mechanic, so I figured I would check it out.

I've run both Canada and US fuels in most vehicles I've owned, including diesel. Never a problem. We have Canadians coming to Michigan to buy gas and fuel, it's cheaper here, and none of the Canadians I know have ever mentioned a problem. I wonder if that "mechanic" was maybe thinking Mexico? If not, I guess it's something to blame the problem on.
You'll be fine.

Oh geez!! I hope I didn't open the olde can of worms.

I meant the quality of fuel, LOL!! And sorta just leaned on, maybe the "mechanic" didn't know what he was talking about, then again, neither do ILOL

Any way, the truck will run just fine, no worries.

In Canada we use metric fuel. Provides more horsepower and boost.

When you turn the ignition on, the display reads F150 Built Ford Tough, EH!
