They're all built in the same place. A couple of hints:
1. Multiply all MPH by .62 unless you want to feel like you're going faster.
2. Multiply temps by 1.8 and then add 32.
3. Drop "Eh" from all warnings- for example when it says "Oil Change Required, Eh?", Just ignore the "Eh".
4. If you're oot of gas, that means you're out of gas.
5. Maple syrup should never be substituted for engine oil.

I've owned a Explorer in the past from Canada and here were no issues. ACTUALLY, you might be better off buying a car from Canada than lets say Michigan. Michigan loves to use salt in winter whereas I've heard Canada uses sand. So if we are assuming this is a used Explorer (even though fairly new) I'd say its probably preferred that it comes from a location that doesn't salt their roads.
Canadian dealers get great prices because of dollar difference. It creates a used car shortage in Canada. Chrysler losses warranty when transferred over to USA. Some Chevy are made in Mexico so the ones made in Mexico will get 20 percent duty put on when shipped to USA. We just sold our Porsche to a ford dealership that shipped it to USA. We got 14000 dollars more selling it to a ford dealership than a local Porsche dealership. Chev and Chrysler are trying to control the flow but ford doesn’t seem to mind as it will probally be replaced by a ford weather it’s a Canadian or American. With the bilateral agreement between USA and Canada no duty if assembled in USA or Canada. A car fax report will show if a Canadian vehicle. Also cars that are in accidents are reported more detailed in Canada. If you are buying a used vehicle from dealer or any one I would suggest investing Canadian car fax. It will show if it was in Canada. Number of owners and if it was a theft recovery etc. I’m not sure if USA report catches that when it crosses border.
