F150 Hybrid Powerboost Warranty

It doesn’t start when you buy it, they all start from when the car was new. Which is exactly why when you purchase a 6 year one on day one it’s only really extending you the 3 years. You’d have the same exact coverage whether you bought it day 1 or day 1000. It states right in the details the mileage and time is from when the car was first put into service.

The in service date is the date the car was first sold, not when it was new. My new truck is sitting in Detroit for months now but not in service. Grumble grumble. I get your point though, the first three years of your extended warranty were already covered by the 3 year/36,000 factory warranty so realize that for your money you are only purchasing 3 years if you're talking about a 6 year extended warranty. So the cost per year is twice as much as it looks like. $1800 in repairs in 3 years is pretty high, you'd probably want to get rid of that vehicle.

And the hybrid gets an 8 year factory warranty on the very expensive battery so even a 7 year warranty would run out first.

I don't know if this is right, but there's a 5 year/60000 mile warranty on the drive train and it seems to me that the hybrid components are a part of the drive train. I don't have a warranty book to confirm that though, maybe someone else can explain it.

One of the features of Ford ESP is that you can get a prorated refund if you crash or sell the car. It may not be proportional, but it’s still something.
