Looking at 2017 XLT
Finally looking to replace my old SCF150. I am looking at used 2017-18 suppercrew 4x4 models. I have been reading and searching forums...
locally (FL) there are a number of used trucks, with a lot of them being canadian...is that bad?
I do tow, up to 5000 a few times a month, typically short distances. All three engine choices are readily available and would easily tow my boat and utility trailer. I drive around 300 miles a week right now (I hope this drops off).
any suggestions or combinations to avoid?
thanks!

Well -- sort of.
Canadian V&T and inspection laws are much stricter regarding rust and rot.
Here in the states (most states; though there are some like Massachewsitts that are strict about rust and rot!), most places don't pay much attention to rusted/rotted parts during your routine yearly (if req'd by your state) inspection.
I know in NY all they really care about is brakes/tires and no CEL illuminated.
