Post My F150 Built in Canada - Good or Bad

I just got my new 2001 XLT SuperCab 5.4 4x4. Vin code shows it was built in Ontario Canada. Is that a good, bad, or in different consequence?

Mine is from Canada too, and so was my last f150. I think they do a good job up there, and both of my trucks have been great with little or no problems.

Good.
Mine is from Ontario Canada too.
No problems so far.
Why do you think they build the Lightnings over there.

both of mine were built in canada.1st one had 38,000 miles on it when I traded it in& no problems(well the dipstick mounting bracket did break but that is very minor) My 2nd one has 14,000 so far and no major problems (had the leaf springs replaced at 6,000 miles).Good quality trucks are built there, based on my personal experience.
