Hi everyone, we have some great sponsors on FTE and they are very quick to respond to questions and provide excellent pricing for the forum members. I ended up buying the Premium Care ESP from Troy Dietrich from Ford of Greenfield. I just received my paper work today. This is honored at any Ford dealer and will show up in Oasis.

If you have Geico they offer and extended warranty but you have to be a Geico customer. It costs about $8 per month with a $250 deductible and it is bumper to bumper for 7 years. The first 3 years bumper to bumper and 5 years 60,000 engine is covered by Ford so you just eat the $8 per month but after that at least you have peace of mind. I have a 2005 Ford F-350 DRW 6.0 diesel that was purchased in October 2004 and if it were not for the extended warranty I would have been out about $8000 alone this summer. In stead it only cost me $750 in deductibles.

What comes with your new truck is: 36/3 bumper to bumper, 60/5 drivetrain, and 100/7 with the 6.7. If a problem happens, more than likely it will be in the 5 yr period. Why would you pay all this additional money if you keep good maintenance practices. I've never purchased an ESP and saved many bucks over the last five trucks. Just my opinion, hope we're still friends?

Maintenance practices have nothing to do with certain failures.

I'm with KSCRUDE.
Without a doubt there are circumstances where you will save money with an extended warranty. Several people who posted here are proof of that, and I'm not going to disagree.
Here's the catch:
An extended warranty is an insurance policy, and insurance policies are a good idea if you can't handle the financial catastrophe of a loss. The insurance business, including Ford, price their products based on loss statistics which all but guarantee they will not loose money on these products. Meaning buying an extended warranty is like going to the casino, you may win once but the house always wins in the end.
It's simple math, if they didn't make money on them they wouldn't sell them. If they paid out more claims than premiums they took in they would loose money.
So if you can't handle a sudden catastrophic failure then the warranty is a good choice. I determined a month after I bought my 6.4L that I wouldn't keep it past the warranty period, as I can't afford $15K for a new engine. I may or may not keep this one that long, it depends on how reliable the 6.7L proves to be and how difficult it is to work on.
