Warranty Expiring Soon - What items should my dealer check? Common issues to verify?

Sweet looking garage. I love the high ceiling. How about the 25 Raptor R???

Good convo here. I'm taking notes.

I wish my garage ceiling was taller as they're only ten feet tall but it's a very nice oversized four car garage. If the ceiling was twelve feet, I'd already have a car lift where the Raptor is.

I really don't have any interest in the Raptor R personally. I use my truck as a weekend family hauler (wife, 2 year old, and dog). I don't drive my truck hard, it's massive, slow and simply a great smooth cruiser, I don't need a supercharged V8 under the hood. I'm looking to extend the warranty as my MSRP was $78k, I have no reason to upgrade for years to come and it's perfect for our use case. I love the looks and presence of a Raptor for a city cruiser and it tows well enough for our summer trips to California.

The price for that here in CA is probably 4x that. Lol

Really? It's an actual Ford dealership that sells extended warranties online. Sucks to be you, I guess.

What a garage you got there...and Huracan. I wish I can fit my Rap inside my garage.

Just like the prices of everything else. And as you know, Cali has a neat little state law where you can't buy warranties from out of state vendors.

I’m so lucky I got mine from flood before that law.

I bought the house when it was almost done with the framing stage, the Raptor/Huracan garage slot is 31' deep and my Tesla/Camry slot is 28'. Also with it being extra wide I can fully open the doors on my cars without hitting one another... huge bonus with having kids!

15,000 miles?

Hell, I bought mine at 15k and no issues until 150k (diff).

Yeah only 15k through three years, I commute to work in a 2025 Camry (Hybrid) and my wife has Tesla Model Y P. I do use my Raptors on Fridays for my Costco runs though

I'm looking at the 8 year 60k mile warranty so that'll give me another 5 years and 9k/miles per year for only $1250! Not bad at all. I was looking all over for what isn't covered in the Premiumcare but they don't specify.

I would probably do the 10 years and 100k miles. Whenever you are ready to sell it you'll get that extra $1,200~ back, and move it way quicker.

I own a 2022 Raptor 37, which I ordered new and absolutely love. It only has 15,000 miles since we primarily use our other cars for local driving, but it’s our go-to vehicle for road trips when we haul our sports car between Arizona and California. While it’s not necessarily the best tow vehicle, I’m hesitant to upgrade to an F-250. So far, I haven’t experienced any mechanical issues, and the only maintenance I’ve done is annual oil changes. For the upcoming service, I’m planning to have the engine oil and brake fluid flushed.

With my warranty expiring in a few months, I want my dealer to inspect the vehicle for any common issues reported with the Gen 14 F-150s or Raptor Gen 3s. Could you help me compile a list of these common issues so they can check them out? I typically do this before a warranty expires and mention I’ve noticed some of these problems to ensure they’re addressed.

- Squeaky tailgate
- Exhaust rattle

The Huracan and Raptor are garage buddies that both don't get many miles on them unfortunately. ~5k a year for the Raptor and 2k a year on the Huracan.

23’ Raptor 35s one year and 5 days old with 37k miles. I had to check multiple times reading this thread if I was on a Prius or Raptor Forum. Warranties are dir Prius owners and *******! Buy it drive it like you stole it and worry about fixing when it’s broke. You have no real insurance on your life-not talking about the BS shit they sell you for money for someone else when your gone-you only live once but the angle is to get as much money out of the week minded people as they can. Unfortunately it works on most. F*ck it! Drive the hell out of it and when it’s really broke buy the next one and do the same!

Find Flood Ford extended warranty online and buy it, then rest easy. It's not terrible expensive and works great. Get the car rental with it. Cheap. The car rental insurance paid for the whole warranty when my gen 2 sat at the dealership for over a week waiting on parts.

FYI Granger Ford from Iowa is about $50-$100 cheaper if that matters to folks.
