Congrats to you on your purchase.

I pick my truck up on Monday. I bought the maintenance pro package. 100K oil, filter, brakes and many more things for about $2900.00. After adding up the schedule it will be way worth the money spent. That is considering the every 5K oil changes ...like 33 of them at well over $100.00 per. Now I have not mentioned all the other maintence checks, inspections and top offs they will do.....every 5K miles! The way I see it.. for th first 36, everything that happens to the truck they own. Tough to argue that point.

What I found was that when you purchase the premium care package, flushes, oil changes.. fluids and the like are not covered. On the original 36 month B to B warranty they aren't either. Considering this info, my choice was to use the 36 B to B for mecahnical issues which it is for anyway, and then purchase the maintenance for fluids and all the rest. I will get the Premium care package in time which will continue the 36 B to B and I'll still have the premium maintencance package in place.

They give me a card that is good at any F dealership in the USA, wherever I am . I take it in and its done. Sure scheduling will have to be done pre arrainged.. it is all good. Permanent vacation will suffice.


Another thing which will be covered under the maintenance package is possibly 1 or two brake jobs, all the filters that belong on the truck, flat tires.. and much more. I held off ( for now) on the extended warranty as I can purchase it up until I expire the 36K or 36 months on the truck. I will just keep my eye on timeframes. The price was at 2800.00 right now figured into the contract with the dealership break. That is considering it was part of the original contract.

My dealer told me that it will most likely cost me $500.00 more when I purchase it before the end of three years or 36K. I can wait. I figured bumper to bumper for 36 either way will work just fine.

Again congrats and good luck on your choice.
