[QUOTE="BroncoAZ, post: 1516364, member: 36963"] The key warranty covers malfunction or replacement of lost keys, lighting coverage covers the bazillion LED lights on the truck including the headlights and taillights. I think the ESP price may increase by the time I hit 3/36. I’ve seen a couple articles recently about Ford’s warranty obligations being too high and effecting profits, so I could see them increasing the price. What caused your warranty to be extended to 8/75? I work as a consultant in dealerships and make quarterly trips to multiple Phoenix and Albuquerque ford dealerships for work. Most of the time I can schedule my service visits for when I’ll be working at the dealership. I usually know the person turning the wrench on my vehicle. I turn 44 today, so quite a ways from retirement. I haven’t used the dealership in Flag for anything yet, so I don’t know if they are good or bad, but my buddy’s daughter and my friend is a service writer at Chapman Ford in Scottsdale so that is where I would expect most of my service to be done. She and I discussed the maintenance plan and it’s cost, she said it was a no brainer on a Raptor because it covered the shocks, same for ESP. As for the $2475 maintenance plan costs, they probably calculate the plans to pretty much break even by the end. 25 oil changes and tire rotations at $60 each will cost $1500, I don’t doubt the other $1000 worth of services would be performed. I’d guess Ford calculates that many people will buy more time or mileage than they will use and Ford won’t have to pay out. That is why a 3/125K is $1505 and the 8/125 is $2345. Between the two it seems like I shouldn’t be buying much beyond tires and batteries. I like the idea of knowing my costs are fixed, even though I can afford to pay the repairs and maintenance as I go. The last two vehicles I had ESP on the plan paid for itself at least twice over. Also, if I were to sell the truck I believe the two plans would make a difference in the resale value to a private party buyer. Any opinion on the 5K blend vs 10K full synthetic? [/QUOTE]
