Canadians: Why are your trucks cheaper? (Edit: They're not)
Ford.ca shows the FX4 starting at $33,202. That's $32,266 USD. The US FX4 starts at $39,610. They appear to be the same truck. What gives?

Ford.ca has built employee pricing discounts into the MSRP on the display. I can GUARANTEE that our trucks are not cheaper than yours!!

-XTR Package includes XLT Chrome and convenience packages. With the new packaging in 2013, You can no longer get a basic XLT with XTR package a la carte, you must load up an XLT to the 302a build spec which builds in the convenience and tow packages. 80% of Canadian XLT's are built this way.
-Limiteds come in a 6.2 option.
-Platinum is available in Blue Jeans Metallic
-502a package Lariat is available with a 40/20/40 bench seat. In the US, only 500a and 501a packages are available with the bench seat. So, basically, in Canada, you can get a fully loaded Lariat with a bench seat.
-Platinum is only available with 4WD in Canada
There are other small differences, but these are the most notable ones.

That's a big one imo. That would've swayed me from FX4 into a Lariat. I really miss a bench seat, but the fully loaded features were too hard to pass up. I'd like to know how that decision was made. I don't know much about Canadian preferences, but I feel like all truck owners like bench seats. Maybe I'm in the minority..
