If anything powertrain care. My reasoning is a truck can have its brakes, wipers, battery cables, seat covers, ect. fixed for a few hundred or less. You can even drive it if the paint flakes off but if the engine goes........it really can't perform as a truck anymore can it? I would rather have an ugly peice of crap to drive than a good looking hunk of metal to push.

Ruckus,
I believe my dealer said the only 2 ESPs he sells are Premium and Powertrain, the others aren't worth it. I also read through this site that you can barter for a better price on the EST. Wish I would have known that...then again my dealer gave me 2K more for my trade than anyone else, so it was a wash.
