Warranty almost up - any suggestions?

[Onula]

Hello, I’ve been reading the forums even before I purchased my 2021 powerboost.

I bought it in 2023 with 40k and about a year later I’m around 90,000km and my extended warranty is up at 100,000km. I purchased it with a quite good deal. The first owner added more than 20,000 in options (basically ticked everything except the onboard scale)

So far only rear axel, rear wiring harness (due to parking sensor malfunctions), and that flimsy fake skid plate like disgusting carpet thing changed. Other than oil change and tire change nothing else changed including break pads etc yet.

Truck driven across Canada, and US in cold harsh climates both Texas summer and Northern Alberta winter averaged 10-10.1 lt/100km, summer averages 8.9-9 lt/100km on regular gas and I don’t go Canadian 110-120km, I stay around 100 usually. Towing biggest uhaul box, it went up to 11 lt/100km and my RV (7000lbs) goes up same consumption with police academy style reduced speed.

I want to purchase the tremor kit and the escape metal skid plate sometime before winter all perfect ideas I got from this forum. Greatful for those. Trying to see where I can get these in Ontario.

- sorry for the long prelim-

I keep seeing heat exchanger fault, oil
Pump and transmission failure many posts.

Is there something I can do to trigger or test these so if they are bad they would be changed under warranty before it’s up?

I really didn’t have any problems so far and happy with my truck, even it has lots going on I don’t see why I should go and exchange my truck with 2024 model (lariat would be 100,000 Canadian, STX would be 95,000, there are lower costs If I don’t add on what my truck currently has.)

I am just afraid once 100k up all will pile up before 110,000 ?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated thank you!

You can extend the warranty even further at a dealership. But it’s going to cost you.

my dealer said can only purchase 1 time can’t extend it later.

You can here, but you are in Canada so it would be messy process not worth your time. If you've gone this far without issues you should be good for as long as you want to keep truck.

To your point about the heat exchanger (Exhaust Gas Heat Recovery), Ford has recently published a recall/TSB about the EGHR system (program# 24N04), extending the warranty on this item to 15 years / 240,000km. (this applies to the 2023's, and possibly earlier as well)

More details in this post:

If you have your truck loaded in the dashboard on ford.ca, this may be showing up for you. (If it applies to the 2021's)

I would drive it and enjoy the no payment myself. You aren’t likely to experience serious repairs till around 200k miles should you change the fluids regularly. It’s a roll of the dice but the odds are in favor of not spending thousands on an extended service plan. Do they occasionally save you a big bill? Yes. Do they usually? No. They wouldn’t be selling these plans if odds were it was going to be needed for repairs—they’d lose money.

Thank you so much! I’ve read many posts but didn’t come across this one yet. It really relieves a lot of stress.

I keep seeing transmission issues but most seem to be how it shifts and all no major problems yet.

Thats is correct. If they lose money out of extended warranty they wouldn’t offer it, I just believe it’s like a credit card insurance. You pay a lot but only 2% of the population uses it. They may just offer to prove a point too.
I wasn’t all in for extended warranty but I guess I didn’t want to face a surprise bill or lose my daily driver for weeks waiting parts. It was scary to see people wait for software corruptions and all.

and remember 100k km is only 60k miles, i know in Canada people get uptight around a 100k km. but it is really nothing for mileage...

i have seen a lot of people on forums from the US going i just picked up a low mileage truck it has 50k miles...

Exactly, that is nothing. It's common to see F-150 in US imported from Canada still with factory warranty. I bought one.

Most issues will happen in your first couple years. My 2011 that snapped camshaft happened within that time and I kept it 12 years. It had ESP out to 7 years but it was used for minor stuff like blower motor. That failed again and I replaced myself after ESP.

Your power train warranty will handle I believe everything related to the hybrid components so that shouldn't be a concern for many years.

This max tow package stuff keeps showing up. I am no perfectionist just do a lot of miles for leisure. That’s why I like my powerboost.

Do a VIN check on this forum and see what modules need updating. If you have service advisor you know, see if they can find any TSB’s or SSM’s related to those modules and have them updated under your remaining warranty.
