No, but historically, the best prices on them have been online from Ziegler ford and one other, who's name escapes me at the moment.

I never bought one. I have had very little issues with my truck. I have purchased one in the past and it was a total waste of money. It never seemed to be a part on there list of covered parts. I have about 85,000 miles and truck doesn't skip a beat. Do proper maintenance and you won't have any problems.

I bought the 125k miles / 8yr one when i bought my truck.
if i were to do over..I would not buy it
warranty appts are almost impossible to get in my area. you get an appt 30 days out, a week before the appt the call to reschedule for another 30 days out, cycle repeats until the 4th rescedule and you get told you are going on a some day list...somday we will call you. which never happens.
no point own extended warranties if the arent worth the paper they are printed on.
if I am in a jam, I have to take it to PA (live in NYC) and expect to drop it off for 1 week plus.

Have the same issue in my area. 30-60 days to get an appointment. The dealers lot (which is huge) is full of broken vehicles waiting on parts.

I took my truck to the Ford dealer earlier this month to have my windshield replaced and a brake job and everything there seamed to be normal.

We have to consider the work being requested. A windshield replacement and brake job are two tasks not likely performed by a diesel technician.

They also now have a bunch of new trucks on the lot too.

My example was just an example of considerations that need to be taken into account when others state they were left with long waits.
Obviously work loads vary by region, dealer and community.
Good to hear your cousin has steady work, but is not overwhelmed.

The extended warranties are expensive but they do obligate Ford to fix your truck. With no warranty you need to find someone to do the work and that may not happen..Since major work involves removing the cab, many shops won't have the experience or facility to do that. When a breakdown happens, you need to know how to get the truck to a facility that will agree to do the repair, if you are away from home that may be next to impossible.
