Re: Ford ups warrenty coverage of 2015 F150 to 4years 50,000 miles?

If it's true GM should one up them and offer a 5 year 60,000 mile Warranty across the board not just the Pickups.

If it costs Ford $500.00 per/F150 for the 4th year warranty....

They get higher residual from longer warranty...
Huge marketing potential against GM and Ram...
Potentially lower rebates......
Potentially more sales because of the extra year of coverage....

It is a no brainer if Ford adds the 4th year of warranty coverage......

Hmmmm..... 'interesting'.

Basic warranty coverage needs to be split up anyway - for all essentially.

Need to split out an 'A' and 'B' item list.

'B' items would be largely electronic in nature and or also super expensive to repair.

I could have sworn that I read this in a Ford media release last week, but now I can't find it. But it might have been commentary from someone's quick review.

corrosion proof sure is a selling feature.

They don't want to announce the new warranty coverage until they have enough 2015 trucks produced and production speed ramped up in Dearborn......

Autoblog is reporting that the 2015 F150 will have 4yrs/50,000 mile warranty.....

Or a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty like Hyundai-Kia.

Corrosion really isn't an issue for steel-bodied cars and trucks.

OK, maybe for Toyotas.

Window stickers on the 2015 still shows 3/36 and 5/60 . I'll have to do some digging and see what I can come up with but I havent seen anything pop up on my news ticker at work, not that I've really been paying much attention to it lately though.

You have window stickers on 2015 F150?

Yes, the new trucks are already showing in my locator. They're all at the plant still so I would say in another month or so we should see them.

Easy way to offer good value to the consumer for the slight added cost to purchase. Also keeps the new trucks close to the dealer and thus manufacturers eye...

Whatever might crop up is closer and easier to fix....

Chassis failure over time with heavy use? Nah....I'm just kidding

Do you know anything about aluminum? ? Seriously? Aluminum is a highly corrosive metal.

I have been recommending a 7-8 year B2B for Cadillac for a long time, which could give greater resale values, making leasing a better option and giving the impression that the vehicle is better because the car is warranted longer. Impressions ARE important
