ESP, what won't it cover?
I know, everyone is getting tired of ESP questions. Most however deal with how has the best price.
My question is directed more to What won't the Premium ESP cover?
I am getting down to the point where I need to make the purchase if I am going to do it. I am sitting at 31,500 and the 36 months are up in July of this year. Using the current mileage per year average I plan to go with the 7 year/100,000 mile ESP and $100 deductible.
Back to my original question, what would be most likely to go out on the truck 2013 F350 FX4 DRW that would not be covered by the Premium ESP? And what would the associated cost of these items average to have fixed.
I appreciate your time, assistance and knowledge.

Hopefully. The OP is referring to what's not covered by the ESP, not secondary ins. policies.

I am speaking more warranty related as to manufacturer covered items. Such as expensive emission related parts, exhaust filters, sensors and such. As I understand it would be a safe insurance coverage for a radiator replacement which seems to be all to common.

I don't think radiators/coolers are covered?? I think it's the engine (long block) and transmission only. I don't think the coolers, radiator, brake system, exhaust system, and any chassis/suspension part is covered. Obviously, nothing inside the cab either.
The long block does include the turbo, egr system, water pump, heads and obviously the internals. Add the transmission and that's it. The covered items are listed in the paperwork, so it should be easy to find.

A true ESP is a basic bumper to bumper minus expendable items such as brakes, wipers, maintenance etc.

It depends on the ESP plan doesn't it? The OP asked about the Premium plan. It is pretty comprehensive, covers the radiators, brakes, electronics, etc. Just no wearing parts and normal maintenance.
Ford offers three levels, the basic one covers a lot less.

That is the way I read it too swarf rat... In addition to your list, It typically doesn't cover trim/bright work, carpets, the seats themselves, the physical dashboard "shell" either. I'd have to double check but usually door, moonroof, and windows seals are excluded too... I can't think of anything "major" that wouldn't be covered.
I got the top of the policy with a $0 deductible. and I added premium rental coverage policy too, since rental cars up here can get stupid priced. Usually when I don't buy extended warranty/insurance things break and when I do nothing happens... So I bought it so nothing would happen. Just like I bought tire and rim protection on my wife's car because when I didn't she went through 2 rims and 4 tires within a year and now that I have it, she hasn't so much as gotten a flat or nail in over 3 years - whereas I never get flats/nails so I skipped that on mine and have gotten 2 nails in tires within 5k miles...

The deductible is an interesting topic. I was going to opt for the $200 deductible, but zero is only $400 more. If they are really charging $100 just to open the file on your repair, then maybe $0 is the right answer?
