Canadian Version of the Marauder

[Sask_Mrdr]

There were two versions of the marauder produced the US export and the Canadian version. As far as my research goes there were 480 total produced for the 03/04 years. Production was in the fall of 2002 for these canadian versions. My particular marauder was built on Nov.17/2002. As far as i can research it is a 300A. Some of the differences of the canadian models are the speedometer shows kilometers per hr. also daytime running lights mandatory in canadian models and the door information stickers are different than the US models . Also the window stickers are different than the US models.I would appreciate your comments and any information you wish to share.

From what I've learned the gauge pod by the floor shift has a slightly different appearance for Canadian vs us cars. Also Cad cars came with traction control standard for 300a's which you didn't get in the US. Coulda sworn I had read that it was 470 cars destined for Canada but who knows for sure.

471 Marauders were produced for Canada for 2003 / 2004 .
All Canadian cars had traction control and engine block heaters as well as KMH speedo and Canadian labels in metric in French and English .

I've owned three of the 470 or 471 produced. A rare Canadian Blue, sold to a member here, from what I've heard an even rarer black 04 and finally the black 03 I purchased last year. As far as differences, the main is the speedo cluster, the day time running lights. Both 03's had buttons to turn off the traction control, can't remember if the 04 did. Either way weren't all the MM'S born in Canada anyway, St. Thomas Ontario so that makes them all Canadian.

Also owners manuals package had some differences and the jack storage and jacking instructions sheet were both French and English .

I plan on Getting my Marauder a MARTI report to see what else I can learn

Thanks for sharing your info. Just wondering how you came up with 471 ?

A few Candadian ones ended up over here in Europe simply because it is more convenient to import them. 2 of the 6 cars we had at last years Euro-Marauderville were Canadian.

It was info I found on another Marauder forum that is now offline I think it was called Motorcity Marauders.
It had a thread talking about Canadian Marauders Steve Babcock and his Canadian counterpart talking about Canadian numbers came up with 471.

Speaking of the owners manual. Did anyone else get a crudely pasted on page that covers the original fluid fill specs towards the last pages of the manual? I'll post a picture later.

I believe I read somewhere on here long ago that all of the '03 Canadian Marauders were called 300A, but they were optioned like the US 300B. Traction control, mini-spare, no seat pockets in the front of the front seats, no remote gas door release. Add KM speedo and DRL.

My Marauders original sale sticker claimed it was a "300A" however the production date and indeed features say 300B... I have exactly what you said, Mini spare, no fuel release, Traction control, no seat pockets, KMH Speed etc.

No we had 300A here all the same options as US 300A ( dash clock / full spare / seat pockets remote gas door ).
My 2003 is a 300B

Sounds like you have a early manual modified for Canadian compliance .
On the back of my manual it says on the outside cover it says October 2003 SECOND PRINTING.

I am thinking your manual is for a 300A and they pasted the fluid fill specs in metric for Canadian compliance .
I would like to see a pic
