Ford Maverick Extended Warranty at $25 Over Dealer Cost from Granger Ford- PAYMENT PLAN AVAILABLE!!!

[PNWMaverick]

And good riddance to those days. But modern LED assemblies like the Maverick - very common now - are far more expensive than a few hundred. They cannot be taken apart and have to be replaced as an entire unit.

I still wouldn't buy an extended warranty on this thing. But just throwing that out there.

The LED assemblies for my Chevy 1500 were about $300 front and $300 rear. The assemblies for a 2021 F-150 are ~$1,400. DAMN!

Bought my extended warranty yesterday. Worked with Brooke. She is a pleasure to work with. Grainger has the best prices out there. I know because I checked other dealers listed on this forum.

They were $3,600 per side on our E-class. That included both the physical units and the control modules that controlled the adaptive parts of the lights.

Just curious as to why you still wouldn't buy a ESP. I'm on the fence about getting one. I had one on 08 F150, never used, I had one my girlfriend's 08 MKZ and we used a few times. So it's been a long time since I've been in the position to buy one. My current DD is either my 21 Harley or 04 Ranger so Maverick is my first new truck since my 08 F150.

Because I've owned many, many cars in my life and when they did have extended warranties - our Porsche Macan and Mercedes E-class - they had so many loopholes that they didn't pay anyway. They would have paid in the even of something catastrophic, but catastrophic problems are rare these days even among the least reliable vehicles.

For example, our Porsche Macan had B-pillar trim crack suddenly at 39,000 miles. Both sides of the vehicle, clearly stress cracks from the way it was assembled. Warranty had expired due to time. Extended warranty denied the claim - cosmetic. The headlights also suffered from xenon burn-in spots around the same time. As in, the headlights were being damaged by the heat inside the unit due to improper ventilation, a design flaw. Denied. Cosmetic. We sold the Macan without ever having an approved claim, even though the thing always seemed to need something. Mercedes was much the same way. The headliner started to detach in the E-class at 45,000 miles. Denied.

Both of these warranties were backed by their manufacturers and were not third parties. So it wasn't the case of just a cheap/shitty warranty company. It's that the house wins. The chances of you needing this sort of ESP are very low.

For us, a catastrophic issue on the Porsche or Mercedes (such as engine failure or transmission failure - particularly the PDK) would have been an issue, though neither ever happened. We could have paid it, but we were willing to buy some insurance against it. With the Ford Maverick, the vehicle is so simple and the parts are so relatively cheap. I'm happy to not give my money to an ESP provider and pay for repairs myself in the very unlikely event a big repair is ever needed.

Thanks.

My question was going to be "how difficult and stingy are these manufacturers with these warranties?"
I'm glad you answered it for me, but I'll ask now anyway. Has anyone had experience specifically with Ford? Are they the gold standard in this field, average, or worse than most others?

My wife bought it once for a Nissan, never used it, but traded it in pretty quickly.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. That last line about the Maverick being simple and parts cheap has been why I haven't pulled the trigger on getting an ESP. I'm still able to turn wrench and research what I don't know so I'm confident about fixing anything that isn't covered by the original warranty and by time it runs out, there's going to be a huge aftermarket of help and parts since the Maverick is turning out to be so popular

One additional thing to consider is that the extended warranty includes roadside assistance. Mine was costing me $90 per year, for an 8 year warranty that is the equivalent of a $720 discount on the warranty. With FordPass points (someone mentioned $210 value), an 8 year/125,000 mile warranty would cost me about what one repair costs these days. My son is an ace when it comes to mechanically working on cars, even he gets an extended warranty with all the electronics in cars he feels he needs that backup to what he can do himself.

dealer's deal was 6yrs/60000m for $2100. here i got 8yrs/100000m for $1440.
might be a waste but what the hell.

So with Granger, are you forced to add those three coverages or are they removable?

They're optional

You don't have to, no. As mentioned above.

My dealer gives a lifetime power train warranty with all new cars, I don't know how good it is, also how do you get the ford pass can you get it before you get the truck

Have that on Prius, appears dealer needs to do oil changes, etc.

That'll differ depending on the dealer's underwriter. But typically, yes, they require every scheduled maintenance item be performed on time and documented. Also 'powertrain' usually only covers the lubricated internal parts of the engine/transmission. There's a lot more than that to a vehicle.
