[QUOTE="Tim Yarnell, post: 1535498, member: 34760"] NEVER get a third party service contract! Never! Other Ford dealers are absolutely not required to accept them - and they routinely don't - unless they're prepaid - and that's a big hassle. Ask for the “Ford Protect Premium Care” plan - which is tracked electronically in Ford's OASIS system- OR as an alternative, literally self-insure and sock away $3,000 in a separate "do not touch" account. I went with the Ford plan as Raptors are very expensive high tech machines - and included it in my low cost loan. Just a little more relevant detail follows: I bought a 6 year /100,000 mile plan (from the warranty start date) for roughly $2,500. These days, an average Repair Order for a retail repair is $300 to $450 per HOUR ($150 labor rate + $300 for parts). Just an average Retail Order. The Ford Protect plan should pay for itself - especially on a high performance race truck. One other option to consider that is much less known is the Ford Premium Care Protection Plan. It covers literally all required vehicle maintenance - as described in the owner's manual PLUS belts, hoses, wiper blades, brake pads and SHOCKS! That's where the really big money is on the Raptor. Ask for the 5k interval plan. I also signed up for the 6/100 plan in total. Dealers make a lot more on retail customer pay or their own in house service plans - so they don't push Ford's factory maintenance plan. DON'T BUY either plan if you just don't keep your trucks! Also, you can wait 3/36 to buy the Preimium Care coverage - but the prices do go up. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
