I bought a bunch of new cars and never purchased an extended warranty (no Fords), this was my first time because of the new ecoboost HO, 10 speed, 4 auto, and drive mode technology, but factory 50,000mi drivetrain would have covered the cost of most and replacement of tranny, engine, diffs and other major drivetrain issues anyway. I would not have purchased extended plan if I knew it ran concurrent. Live and learn.

I paid about $1000 for the 60,000mi, I have 59,200 on the Raptor now.

Question if I purchase another 60,000 plan it will start when I sign? So I’ll have a warranty until 120,000mi? With all the issues I feel safer paying out another grand rather than replacing an engine or tranny out of pocket later.

No, you would need to buy a 120,000 mile warranty if you want 120,000 miles. Make sure you buy it before your other one expires. Keeping coverage continuous reduces cost dramatically. You'll likely have to buy from a 3rd party if you allow it to expire and go through a thorough inspection process to even get covered and they can likely decline it due to the inspection. (Source I sell machinery for a living and it basically follows the same warranty process the car industry does.)

Yea, and if you want to cancel ur extended warranty at say 30k, before it should start.. you get half your money back. Because youve used half your warranty period that was technically covered under factory. Got burned on that shit on my first truck.

I may be misunderstanding what is going on, but it seems that you purchased an extended warranty for the bumper to bumper stuff. If I am not mistaken the bumper to bumper last 3 year 36 and the Powertrain is 5 year 60 and you purchased the extended bumper to bumper for 5 year and 60.

Was the intent to have additional Powertrain warranty?

Im not criticizing, just curious.
