    I’ve been browsing the dealerships in the area. Some of them have the VIN listed on the trucks. Some are still starting with 5 (Texas) I thought all production moved to Mexico? There is also some models that start with the 3 (short beds). Is this a Canadian thing, shipping costs?

    I think 5 just denotes North American built, Mexico is considered North America.
