+1 on the corrosion, so what you need to look at is overall mileage and how many winters it spent up there?
My 2015 Plat was a Canadian rig (Im in Wash state), but it only had 4,000 miles on it when I bought it, so the underneath was immaculate. Still one of the best autos Ive ever owned.
If you want to PM me your VIN, I will look for an English sticker for you.
Not sure how to PM you, but here is the VIN: 1FTFW1E80NFB33939

Try putting your vin number after the equal sign. My truck came from Quebec as well and I was able to download the English version no problem. And my truck wasn’t rusty from the salt as a side note
I tried this, and get an unable to provide a sticker (sticker has not been released yet). I found the truck on Autotrader.com, and on there they listed the VIN and the dealer sent me a file of the window sticker which I attached above on previous post. As you can see, it is in French (except for the block where it indicates the final assembly was in Dearborn).

I'll tag you in the VIN lookup thread.
Resident experts can see if the truck has been getting software updates.

What do you mean by glare free? I was actually able to use the VIN to get the window sticker...but it is in French and I don't speak the language.

Glare free lighting was available on my 2021 Lariat, (Canadian truck) but had to be turned on using Forscan. Night and day difference between that and regular high beams. It is available with trucks that have the Projector LED headlights, but not on the reflective LED headlights.
