Good morning and Merry Christmas to all. I did not purchase the extended warranty with my truck but now after reading about what all could go wrong I am wondering if that was a mistake. Has anyone out there bought it after the sell and if so what did you pay for it? I have just over 1,000 miles on it.
I was told I could come in anytime before the standard wty expires and purchase the extended.
Thank you

 

Yes, you can. the price does go up after the first year of the truck in-service date. Check places like Flood Ford or Zeigler Ford for online prices that are usually cheaper than your local dealer.

 

yes. I bought mine from Flood Ford online

I own a 2015 and don't plan to purchase until near when the base warranty is up. I don't see the benefits of purchasing at time of close outside of putting the cost into your loan.

I would not own a 6.7l without a warranty of some kind.

Buy it now or buy it later, the cost to you probably be higher for the same length of warranty. Each October, Ford price may go up. I know I could have gotten the 7/125 for $300 or so cheaper if I had purchased during the first year of ownership.

Flood Ford requires payment in full with no financing.

Zeigler is a little higher but does have financing.

yes, financing produces a higher total cost. you can pay it with a credit card too, and payoff later..

i had the cash set aside, so was going for the lowest total cost. $2310 for premium to 100,000/7 total yrs, when the truck had 23,000 miles and 2.5 yrs into the 3 yr original.

 

Thanks all for the info, is there anything the WTY doesnt cover that you wish it did or is it pretty good?

 

Won't cover fuel system when water separator fails to do its job, which is my #1 concern. I'll tune instead of an ext. warrantee.


I view these trucks as pretty reliable not prone to failure. You just don't see as many happy people posting about how they never have problems.

 

I'd say the majority of people don't have the option of tuning and/or deleting because of emissions testing.

 

Tuning doesn't prevent fuel system failure from water in fuel.

Water in fuel should be covered by either one of the following:

A) Vendor's insurance where fuel was purchased with water. This should be primary party for the claim.

or

B) If one is covered by their comprehensive insurance for the vehicle. Insurance company bring suit against seller of bad fuel for their re-reimbursement.

 

I added MBI (mechanical breakdown insurance), to my auto policy when I bought my truck. It covers until 100,000 miles. Between that and the comprehensive I'm covered for drivetrain, and fuel issues. I admit I'll be taking my chances on all the other stuff though. Not a single hiccup so far. Man, I love this truck!

 

Do you have Geico by chance? When I was with Geico, I loved having MBI. I'm with State Farm now, and they don't offer that type of coverage, at least in my neck of the woods.

 

Yes, It is Geico, and to get the MBI you have to start it when the vehicle is new, or within a short time after.

 

Agreed. If anything a tune makes the truck less reliable.
If ford covered fuel issues I would get a ext. warranty, and live with the stock power level. But they don't so it's an excuse to be able to modify and enjoy the truck even more.


Going to see if I can get MBI on my auto policy thanks for the info
