New Extended Warranty

[F150 Pat]

My current Extended warranty expires in Feb. just had our 2019 in for shifting hard at times and they were able to duplicate it twice and replace the valve body. That would have been $1400. There was a service bulletin that covered it so no deductible was due. I was able to extend the Extended Warranty for 60K miles or 4 years. $2618. I’m just under 60K miles. I think it was a good choice. One turbo or cam phasers and it paid for its self. I was a big fan of the extended as I’m very mechanical can do almost anything but we travel often and it’s just piece of mind. And I’m not getting any younger!

I think for vehicles like ours, a Ford ESP is a wise investment.

Considering the inferior quality control of ford expedition production, it is a no brainer to purchase ford esp, as long as how long you want to keep it.

And it stays with the vehicle so if I sell it at some point it's a good selling feature. If I trade it, which I doubt I would ever do cause you always get hosed, I can get a refund of the prorated cost of the policy as long as I don't use it. Just a note. I got this with Lombard Ford. Flood sent me to a 3rd party because I was over I think 44K miles.

Do the extended warranties say anything about towing?

 

[GlennSullivan]

I'm reading elsewhere that existing Ford ESP service plans can only be extended:
a) Until the vehicle is a certain age / mileage, if so what are those numbers.
b) Right before existing ESP is about to expire.

Do any of you know if this info is correct or incorrect?

I have a 2017, Limited 4X4 with 49,000 miles, purchased new May of 2017.
Current Premium ESP expires 5/23/25 or 100,000 miles, which in my case will be the date.

I would probably look to extend the current ESP to 2028 or 2030 with same 100,000 sometime next year.

@GlennSullivan ......I spoke directly with Ford about extending my ESP. They told me, you can not extend an ESP. I think he said if you're still under the original 36/36 you can extend it, but once you're out of the original warranty, no. Once that expires, you have to go to a dealer and get a "used car ESP" at whatever they charge. That's as far as I got. I didn't do any other investigation. Maybe I should, but I'm not sure I want to keep it. Hope that helps, let us know what you find out.

Thanks for the info. I’ve always purchased my Ford ESP from Flood, so I’ll probably speak to them in the coming weeks and see what they have to say.

Check out Lombard Ford on the Internet. They sell Ford factory warranties by mail at a third the price of some dealers. I bought a 4 year, 40,000 mile warranty for my used Explorer which had 97,000 miles on it. And there were three warranties to choose from. I chose the powertrain for $1100...

I just bought my ESP from Lombard Ford. I have 59500 miles on a 2019. I got a 4 year 60K premium care with 100$ deductible for $2618. I had an ESP that expires soon. If you're not on a plan you will need to get an inspection of the vehicle for $119. At flood if you were over 44,000 miles they sent you to a 3rd party.

It's never just the valve body.
If I'm reading this correctly, you extended your esp to 60k miles, but you're almost to 60k miles?
Or are you saying your esp runs for 4 more years or to 120k miles (whichever comes first)?

 

[F150 Pat]

They did TSB-23-2250. They were able to duplicate the problem twice. The service guy said they replaced the valve body. The invoice says overhauled. Either way it's shifting like a brand new vehicle. The Extended goes for 60K more miles. I now expire on Oct 26, 2027 or 119,500 miles on the vehicle.

I purchased mine at Lombard. ESP is a good investment with the amount of things that can go wrong. They had the best price and good customer service.

 

[VBreithaupt]

The only thing I don't like about the ESP is the rental coverage. $60 for 10 days? At least that is what mine is. If your vehicle is in for something major you are screwed plus $60 doesn't even cover the cost of a Expedition rental.

My 2019 Gold Certified came with a 7 year 100,000 miles premium warranty and I had to use it once. Big expense saver. If I keep the vehicle that long, I will be purchasing another one. It will cost me around 3k for a 10 year 125000 replacement. I'm sure that price will go up. But it's still worth it.

Hi Guys
I'd like to bring this ESP discussion back up again. As I stated in post #6, I currently have a Premium Care 100,000mi ESP that I purchased through Flood Ford online. It expires this coming May. The vehicle currently has 55,000mi and I'll be looking to purchase another plan to extend the coverage another 5 years and to maybe 125,000mi.

Other than what was discussed in this post previously, is there anything new that I need to know besides also looking at Lombard Ford in addition to Flood (quite a few of you seem to be using Lombard these days).

I've always heard that Flood, Grainger, and Zeigler were the go-to resellers of Ford extended warranty plans. I hadn't heard that Lombard is joining the mix. I've confirmed with Grainger that they will sell Ford ESP at $25 over dealer cost.

 

[2018ExpyPlatinum]

@GlennSullivan ...I extended mine through Zeigler. Easy Peasy with one phone call. I priced it online and called them. I priced online with Flood, Lombard and someone else. Zeigler was the cheapest by far! If you go on line to Zeigler, under the discount code, use "F150forum". It lowered the price by $225 IIRC.....and if it's still good.

 

[GlennSullivan]

**EDIT** I went to Zeigler website (as some suggested) and found that they do offer Ford ESP for my vehicle

I just went on Flood Ford website, filled in the truck info and got this message.
