this is great information.

can I purchase the esp after I bring the truck home from the dealership? I guess my question is what is the order of operation when buying esp from Ziegler or flood?

Sure, I actually purchased mine before the truck arrived but I was doing that to beat a price increase that Ford had coming.

You can buy the ESP right up till the bumper to bumper expires but the cost will be higher than if you purchased during the first year.

I get the extra car rental so wanted it available as soon as the truck arrives. I have only had to use that a couple of times over the years but it sure is convenient for what little it cost.

Wish I had known that!! Had VIN before the new year but didn't get truck until Jan. Oh well.

Hey Bob, how have ya been? Not seen much of you lately.

How is that pickup treating you?

I’ve had mine a year on 2-13 and 13,000 trouble free miles ( for the most part)
Still have an open recall on seat belts, and I have a tire pressure monitor failing. Quirky Sync.

All in all pretty darn happy with this thing.
no oil usage, fuel mileage close to 20.
8ft SuperCab can be interesting to park in crowded areas tho.

Hey Bryan, still hanging around reading here and there.

Truck has been fantastic, no issues other than a couple of recalls that really didn't effect mine. Mine was 1 year at 15 Jan of this year. I'm still amazed how smooth and quite it is, a real joy to drive.

My dealer pretty much matched what flood quoted (after he gave me a laughingly high initial quote .. freakin finance guys ?

I bought an ESP from the dealer the day I purchased the truck. Later found out how much more I had paid (nearly double) compared to Zeigler that I canceled it, got my $ back and went with a better one with Zeigler for a lot less.

Is Zeigler the only one to offer a discount code of any sort? I wanted to buy this for my truck to get coverage to last with the battery warranty, just want to get the best price possible, although they're all very close.

Absolutely going to buy an ESP (probably Premium Care) from Zeigler once/if my F-150 arrives. My only criticism of the ESP process (not Ziegler’s fault, it’s how Ford /auto industry markets to customers): if I buy an 8yr/125k ESP, I’m not getting 8 additional years / 125k extra miles. The truck already comes with a 36month / 36k standard warranty. So I’m actually buying 5yr/89k additional coverage. Is what it is. Buyers just need to be informed. Caveat Emptor.

From those buying from Granger. They are offering ESP for $100 above dealer cost. Pricing should be in line with Ziegler and flood.

How long does it typically take before the warranty is reflected online? I got all of the paperwork from Ziegler, but online it isn't showing up yet.

I don't see mine online, but it does show in Ford Pass.

Same here. I have never seen it on the website, but it does show in the app. I got the ESP back in December.

Two separate ford dealers fought with my wife and I on this on two different vehicles and they both did different things to fix the cost of the warranty:

Dealer 1) Gave us a quote of $2700 for a 5 year / 100k mile warranty on our Escape. Using google I found a dealer who specializes in warranties for Ford (even if you don't buy the car from them) and charges bottom dollar. They quoted $1500. Told the finance guy at dealer 1 that I'm not paying $3000 for a $1500 warranty and he tried to argue that "you have to buy the warranty with the car". You don't. Told him to drop it to $1500 and I'll buy it. He did the whole "talk to the manager" thing and came back with a lower price, $2200. Nope. Eventually we settled right in the middle at $1500. "My manager won't like this very much." Not my problem.

Dealer 2) Gave us a quote of $3000 for a 5k / 100k mile warranty on our F150. Using the same warranty source it was about $2000. Asked the finance guy to meet on price; he said "our warranty prices are "fixed" but I'll do something else for you and added $1000 to the trade in on my truck... which was a bit disappointing because I obviously left some money there but much better experience overall.

Used Flood Ford and Lombard Ford for the warranty pricing.

Thanks. I had seen the warranty section in FordPass before. After clicking through a bunch of places, since it moved in one of the app updates, I found the ESP section and it is showing.
