Used Tremors from Canada

Yes – if you could post a chat, it would be terrific.

Background: I’m an attorney and handled a matter brought by an attorney General whereby a dealership was selling “gray market vehicles”. Warrantees were one of the main issues in the matter and a consent order was issued. I realize that manufacturers/dealers and attorney generals may differ. However, buying a vehicle imported does (pursuant to the terms of the warranty) have the potential to allow the manufacturer to deny a warranty. The other caution I offer is that even though you have a chat, you don’t know if that individual is authorized to represent and bind a corporation and amend warranty terms. They truly understand that you literally have to look at the company’s corporate governance materials as that would control and litigation.

Sorry for the delay, I redacted a bit of info and cleaned up the format, so I've attached it here. There are too many characters to just paste in the text. I ended up buying one from a Ford dealer, and confirmed the warranty with them. So I think I'm in the clear here, but it was definitely a good exercise, and Ford's chat support was surprisingly helpful.

Update - I ended up purchasing a 2023 with ~10,000 miles from a Ford dealership. It was originally sold into Manitoba, right north of me, and it looks friggin mint. Already in love it with. I appreciate all your input, questions, and support. What a great community.

Hi everyone, I just registered so am new here. I am looking at purchasing a 2023 or 2024 F150 Tremor. Most of the ones I see for sale that are low mileage were originally sold in Ontario. I'm curious if there is something I should be wary of here? Also, many (all?) of them were fleet vehicles, but no service history when the dealer pulls up the VIN. So while it looks good on the surface, I'm a little hesitant, but very excited to be part of the club soon! Thanks for any advice!

Be aware that the bumper to bumper warranties are no longer valid on Canadian trucks that come into the US starting as of last year.

I bought a 22 tremor from Canada at 29k miles and I had a powertrain fault pop up. After taking it to the dealer, I was told the truck did not have the bumper to bumper warranty on it. After jumping through hoops with corporate and was given the news officially that they are no longer honoring the B2B, that ticked me off that I spent the money and don’t get the factory warranty which was supposed to last through November.

The power train warranty however is still good.

I don’t have any documentation other than I had to call ford Canada and ford US like 10 separate times and made the operators talk to each other because neither one could help me. (This was back in May)

If I’m wrong then please someone tell me so I can call Ford again and fix some of the issues I’m having but that’s what ford Canada and ford US told me.

Can you ask your dealership in the US who verified you don't have warranty to run an Oasis report? I am curious if the notification about a vehicle being sold originally in Canada looks different than it used to. Screen shot from my '17 below as a reference. I had numerous items fixed under warranty on it under the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty (mostly stuff with the moonroof).

Google AI seems to think warranty should still be valid as well:

I’ll find the email from the dealership I bought it from but the report I believe showed no B2B.

It did show powertrain.

EDIT: *attached oasis report*

Hey, me again. This is honestly rather embarrassing, but I simply assumed the vehicle was located in southern Ontario along Lake Ontario. However, I lived all across Ontario including northern Ontario for years and some places don’t really use that much salt at all. So, may I ask which city this vehicle is located in and I can give you a better idea of what sort of winters they have and what kind of salt use?

just want to confirm that around lake ontario, they will use a lot of salt. go north a couple hours (100miles or so for the conversion) and you'll get a lot less salt. my area gets plenty of sand and hardly and salt. we get a lot of snow while the toronto hamilton areas will get more wet snow, rain and the snow that does fall will thaw due to the amount of cars, people, buildings, etc.

and regarding fleet, no one i've seen in a long time will use a tremor as a fleet. that'd be a bad choice financially for a business.

I live in northern Alberta and tremors are a dime a dozen. There are a lot of fleet tremors for the mines here as well as a ton of personal daily drivers. There is usually 4-5 in my work parking lot every morning.
 
I'm from Alberta too. No matter where it's from, I'd suggest being thorough and check the truck over and do some driving in it. Being from AB, there is a chance it could have been a patch truck and used hard. However, as others have commented already, AB is full of Tremors and many are just daily drivers.

Wow. Didn’t think they’d spend the extra cash for them. But I can see them being really used.

Fleet base package TREMORS can be very affordable and are probably no more expensive than a similarly equipped XLT.
