Ford ESP should I get one?

You should be able to buy from one of those dealers even though you live in Florida.

Not really. Florida restricts the sale of these to Florida residents. I believe people in Florida have to buy from a Florida dealer.

No, Florida requires that they are licensed in Florida which they are not. Ziegler is the only option but they are still expensive. I can get 5 yr 100,000 mile $100 deductible for $2800. Probably half that with Granger or Flood.

Yep I just checked on Flood website and you are correct. Its a no go in Florida.

Because MOST dealers mark these up, because it is a nice profit tool for finance. Granger sells them near cost. Though 10y/48k sounds very odd. I don't remember that ever being an option.

Actually 10 yr 48K is an option at Flood for around $1100 though not sure why a person would do that unless they did very little driving. Flood also up charges $100 if you are past the first 12 months of ownership and under 36 months.

I have seen posts that as long as you use a non-Florida address you can get the plan. I have family in Ohio and in PA. It seems there would be an issue when it comes time to claim. Anyone try this with success?

Is this an actual Ford ESP? Or are they selling a third party warranty? That upcharge is suspect. I do not believe you can buy an actual factory ESP after the base warranty has expired.

Yes, Ford PremiumCare price increases at 12-36 months (not including periodic base price increases). You can actually purchase 5 months/5,000 miles past the 36mo/36,000mi bumper-to-bumper warranty expiring, but that induces another price increase of ~$150.

Interesting. Ok, good to know! I don't think this was like that when I was with Lincoln. But that has been some years ago now.

Lincoln has the same rules. Their base warranty is longer though: 48 mo/50k miles.

Ford's ESP method as to how options are added(Delete) seems backwards to me.
First time I bought one from Ford.

One of the options I added was Interior / Exterior Lighting since Ford's brochure has:
** Interior/Exterior Lighting – coverage included only if Lighting Option is purchased.

So to add this option I had to Not select Interior/Exterior Lighting Delete when getting a quote from Grainger.

Per Brooke at Granger:
Deciphering Plan Options on the contract(check boxes):
*If you are wanting to add First Day Rental, Enhanced Rental, Interior Exterior Lighting, or Key Services the box beside it needs to be unchecked.
*If you are wanting to add Pickup & Delivery that box needs to be checked to be included.

ESP Contract shows no Options boxes checked
So for Delete Options it means I have the coverage.

Then I asked Granger Ford ESP and they sent me a ESP Part Verification screenshot that is spells out which options I have.

For Hybrid warranty in my Ford Escape account it shows:
Hybrid - Unique Components:
8 years / 100,000 Miles (whichever occurs first)
high-voltage battery packs, high voltage charger, DC/DC convertor,
Electric Drive Module Assembly(includes electric motor and gearbox), trans range

Each of the online sellers have different ways of doing it.

I plan on keeping the Lariat hybrid Maverick for sometime and not planning a lot of driving
Should I purchase one of these, and when?
Thank You

If planning to sell your Maverick within the bumper to bumper new car warranty time frame, don't get an extended warranty. If unsure how long you are going to keep it, hold off on purchasing an ESP. You can get it later. I for one plan on keeping my Maverick for 10 years. Because the vehicles of today are rolling computers and can be expensive to repair, I for one will be buying an ESP. All my new vehicles I have purchased I have kept for 9-10 years. I don't see a change in that routine with the purchase of my new Maverick. I will be going with Flood or Granger ESP . . . unless my local dealer can match the price of those mentioned. If price match, then I will keep my $ in the local economy. To me, it is worth the peace of mind having the coverage.

I'm replacing a 20 yr old truck I bought new. Paying $935 for an extra 7 years (84 months) is barely $11 a month for peace of mind. Spendy LED fixtures and computer modules won't be a concern. Well worth it to my thinking.
