I priced out the ESP online at a couple of the vendors and Granger was lower by about $50-100

DDEG10: you might consider waiting until your basic three-year 36 warranty is about to expire before making this purchase. I must’ve change something recently you were allowed to purchase the extended warranty up until that time frame and you will know if you need it by then.This is a very valuable post, thank you for putting the spreadsheet together.
I have a Maverick XL with no options other than a hitch coming in likely next week. I have been contemplating ESP and after doing some research I'm on the fence getting the "Baseplan" 10 year 100K for $945 through Granger. Seems like a reasonable price for the piece of mind, and enough covered parts on the XL to make it worth my while.
I've been a "never buy the warranty" type of guy for awhile now, listening to financial advisors and such. But I have a 2018 Explorer that just had the dreaded water pump failure and now I'm thinking I should have bought one for that vehicle when I had the chance.
Decisions, decisions....
I've been doing some price shopping at Granger on their premium plans and threw together some graphs. This really illustrates some of the sweet spots (60k and 100k miles)

If you want to slice it or see the specific numbers, you should be able to use this one.

let me know if it breaks or you want the data for your own pivot tables
Is the purchased warranty supposed to be listed in the app like the tire warranty is?My two cents on Ford ESP plans: If you buy a plan for $1000 in 2023, and only ever need an $800 repair a few years down the road, you likely still made out better when considering 2023 dollars vs 2029 (or whenever) dollars. And an $800 dollar repair is like 3 hours of shop time.
Anyways, if you are comparing plans, here they are in spreadsheet form, which is a little easier to see what each plan adds. The file has two sheets, each with a different layout.

When I bought my truck I signed all of the paperwork and it was reflected in the price. Unless it shows up when I take the truck in this could turn into another source of conflict between Dealer McScrouge and myself.
This is why I hate buying cars.
In addition to it being in the app (screenshots I attached in my prior reply), you should get a long document that details all the "legal-eze"/terms/conditions. You can always print that out (I got mine as a PDF), and bring it in when needing service. The warranty is tied to the VIN, so there is no excuse for a dealer service department to be confused about coverage/if your Maverick is covered.Is the purchased warranty supposed to be listed in the app like the tire warranty is?

Or buy two, then you always have a backup if there are any problems. Plenty of options if money is no concern to you.Just buy a new truck every 3 years or 36k miles, after the power train warranty runs out. No worries.
That’s why there is leasing. I hate writing this but all of my extended warranties ended up paying for themselves. I had one ford that ended up having the transmission replaced.Or buy two, then you always have a backup if there are any problems. Plenty of options if money is no concern to you.
