8/2 Build Week

Agreed I plan on going $0 through Flood or Chapman, if they will meet Flood's price, when I pick up the truck.

What level plan did you go with?

@someday I know you had asked elsewhere about the trailer backup assist. My truck did not have the module, and neither the sales guy nor the parts manager knew how to answer my question of if I should receive it with the truck.

I have a co-worker who received a Job 1 truck and his did include the module and wiring under the back seat. Mine came with a small package with some stickers and instructions instead.

Mine came in last week and I have just the stickers also

I plan on going with PremiumCARE, $0 deductible with the rental car upgrades and Key replacement. After seeing cases where each diagnostic check can mean a new deductible I think the $0 deductible makes sense. The difference for my 8yr plan quote was $380 more for $0 deductible vs $100 deductible. While I have never purchased a vehicle service plan before I feel with all the tech on these trucks its a good idea but YMMV. The fact that you can transfer or cancel and get a portion back also helped in my decision.

I have heard nothing but the good things about Flood Ford. It is a Ford ESP so any dealership will take it.

About the zero deductible, the pros that I can see is every time you bring it in and they plug it in and find nothing it can cost you a hundred bucks and we have seen that a lot around here

Probably not so much under factory warranty but when that runs out the service writer wants $100 every time they pull it in a service bay

$100 every time or just until the deductible is met then it’s $0?

$100 is your deductible, so every time

Think of it like a co-pay. It's every time once your out of the standard warranty

Staring at this in disbelief for the last 3 minutes

I know... it seems unreal. My sales guy's response was 'I think at this point we have to consider the possibility that corporate has just picked you as the guy they want to mess with.' Anyway, he's going to have the General Manager make some calls tomorrow to see if maybe this isn't some kind of mistake, or if they really have just punted me to the end of the year. I really hope not.

Congrats on post #1500 in this thread though. And you've got plenty of time to think about your extended warranty deductible

Seriously, I hope they get to the bottom of this for you. December 31 is a whole new level of "moved back". What could possibly be delaying it that long?

Ugh, I was trying to figure out the sweet spot on deductibles and never thought of this. Went with the $100.

Circling back to this. For me the cost difference between 0 and 100 deductible is $450 using an 8 year 100k plan. That means I have to take my vehicle in 4.5 times after the 3/36 warranty expires before I break even. I can easily see how it would be possible to use the warranty plan 4-5 times after the 3/36 expires but I don't think it's a mistake to get the $100 deductible and save the $450 now, especially if you have something else you need the $450 for. I'm sure that's why there are options because different people want to bet differently on the chances that something happens. If you know who Doug DeMuro is and you know the story of his CarMax Range Rover then you'd certainly say get the $0 deductible because you'll need it. I will say that if I chose the $0 option you better bet that I'd take my truck in for every little problem after the 3/36 to take full advantage of the extended warranty I paid for. I'd likely do the same no matter what my deductible is but I'd be slower to make an appointment knowing it would cost me something.

My ETA just got moved up to 10/12 from 10/19.

You may recall, PF and my order tracking showed that the truck was sitting in Michigan even after the truck was delivered to the dealer. When I arrived to do the purchase, I found that the VIN and order number was different than what I'd been tracking all along, even though the config and pricing was exactly the same! The dealer said "oh, we duplicated the order" so I guess I got the first one of the two that came in. The one I was tracking all along showed up at the dealership a few days after I picked up mine. Same options, color, pricing. Mystery solved. Too bad, I would have preferred to be tracking my actual truck order. But it just goes to show again that there can be mismatches between the Ford ordering system and reality.

And pals never showed anything for either vin.

Well the great news is my truck is ready to pick up!! 10/18 turned into a surprise delivery yesterday! The bummer is I can't get it until tomorrow I could barely sleep lat night and now I have to wait one more day! Pictures and impressions to follow this weekend. It feels like the end is in sight for all of us now.

I kind of feel the same way. I am leaning toward the $250 and am curious to see what my dealer is going to do on pricing.

Yeah, when I think honestly about how much I've ever used any extended warranty I bought, it's making less sense to me to go to $0. The last 3 cars I never used it. Generally, all the gremlins get worked out during the 3/36 warranty. I'm buying it as protection against the high dollar failures.

My ETA just got moved up to 10/12 from 10/19.

My window just got bumped from 10/15-21 to 10/6-12 last night. It was still sitting in NY yesterday afternoon for the 4th day, but maybe it's moving now.

And it is deeeelivered! Well, actually, it's at their receiving yard about 15 miles away, but close enough.
