New 2025 Lariat, 2.7L - Should I get Ford Protect?

[PAW]

I used to work in retail sales back in the 90s, and to be perfectly honest. Every sales person I worked with thought the extended warranty was a rip-off. I even bought the extended service on a used 96 Grand Prix only to have the dealer/service department pretend there was no problem on two occasions before it was out of warranty and then they identified that I needed a new transmission (*#%!**!!)

These days, vehicles have become a lot more complex & expensive. I’m inclined to add it on my new truck when it shows up, but I also look at it as “if I can’t afford to repair my truck, I can’t afford the truck (especially since I went with a higher level trim).

There’s also a loose thread in the back of my mind that’s eager to hit 36K miles, so that I can add a lift kit and several other mods that would probably void my warranty anyway.

Like others have said, it just depends on your financial position, your skill as a garage mechanic, and how you’re gonna’ use the truck.

Myself, I will likely pass on it.

I also have 2025 lariot. I bet against truck and got warranty. Lighting, cam phasers or transmission can bring serious hurt. Look at it like buying good luck. I am pessimistic tho

I ordered the Lariat with all the bells and whistles which I never buy a fully loaded car/truck. Nor do I ever buy the extended warranty, I'm going to on this one, too many things to glitch away.
I'm not going to get the warranty until after the first year just to make sure it's not a lemon or some other reason I may want to unload it.
