Hi all- Hope this is in a good spot, its more of a general question and not Gen-specific. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
So I got my 2020 Raptor a couple weeks ago, with 40k miles. I was planing on getting the additional warranty from Flood Ford when I got home, but they talked me into buying the warranty thru them. The truck is a Gold CPO, so has a 12mth/12,000 mile on it initially. They talked me into a "Certified Pre-Owned Wrap", exlaining it as just extending the factory warranty out to 100k miles. Sounded good to me. Factory wrranty to 100k miles, perfect!
Fast forward to today- I get a welcome email from All-State this am, and turns out thats who is providing the warranty. I called them to verify a few things...they say I can take the truck to any licensed mechanic, but they have to authorize the repairs first, etc etc. They authorize $ amounts as well, so technically possible the dealer would charge more for the repair and Id have to take it elsewhere, but did say this is highly unlikely.
Should I get my $$ back and just call Flood for the Ford add-on instead? Copied below is the Not-Covered list if anyone is curious:
