Im looking to buy a used ford Bronco.
Asked by stupidfast Apr 12, 2025 at 11:53 AM about the 2023 Ford Bronco Wildtrak Advanced 2-Door 4WD
Question type: General
I found one i really like, but when i look at the original window sticker, it shows
not for sale/use in the united states. I guess it was originally a Canada Bronco.
Should this be a concern? Should i stay away from this vehicle?

All I can say is do your research on late model Broncos, most will back away from them after looking at all the problems they have.

You missed the point of the question. The question was about the window sticker saying "not for sale/use in the US".
Then it's not for sale or use in the US. So that usually means that the emissions are too high and you can't get it licensed in the US, no problem in Canada. Still stay away from these vehicles. Read the real reviews.
Most likely the vehicle doesn't meet United States emissions, as Gene said, or safety standards for the 2023 model year vehicles. Every passenger vehicle manufactured since 1968 has an emissions decal under the hood stating that the vehicle meets emissions standards for that model year. Beginning 1966 California adopted their own emissions standards for new vehicles and the rest of the 49 States followed two years later. Also, beginning in 1968, sweeping safety standards went into effect. Some of which are still in effect today. So if this Bronco doesn't meet these standards you can not register it to drive and it will not pass emissions and/or safety inspection. Best to find another Bronco. Jim
