Extended warranty on new truck purchase - yes or no?

Yes, without a doubt.. Especially with that new 10speed transmission that GM and Ford put in their trucks.

I get the extended warranty every time I purchase a vehicle, pays for itself.

10 years ago I would say no but these new ones are all digital I would get it but not at the first price they offered

With all of the technology and chips and screens etc.

I would absolutely get the warranty.

Piece of shite

Yeah avoid the 6.2... I just bought a 2026 Silverado 5.3 V8 because I knew the issues they were having and even the salesman were saying not to buy the 6.2 right now.

I just bought a 26 trail boss with a 6.2 L. They’ve taken care of most of the problems somewhat. The models from 2019 through 23 with the main ones with problems. Not to mention the motor in my truck is an absolute animal. And yes, I got the full extended warranty.

I think it's a crapshoot at this point. Modern cars are generally more reliable, but harder and more expensive to repair.

I have purchased 12 cars for me and the family over time and never considered one until the car in 2023. Ultimately didn't get it because I have never been in a position to have used one. Figure I am far enough ahead I will need to eat a big repair bill or two before I see the value.

I am also at a point where I can eat them, if you can't and are able to spread the cost out over a loan term that may be the smart risk decision.

With all the comments about the 6.2, I automatically have 5 years coverage correct? So if the motor fails early it's already covered w/ standard warranty.

So basically this warranty is only a factor for the gap between year 5 and 7, or the excess over 60k, correct?

Paying cash, so averaging cost of warranty through finance term not a factor

Avoid it. They don’t know how to fix half the issues.
