Ford Explorer: Extending the BTB warranty on 2001 4x4 Exp. Sport.

Given the low mileage you are doing (and I assume you mean to keep the
vehicle), I would be very tempted to extend the warranty. Having engine
transmission and major components like alternator, cooling, ABS systems
etc. covered will probably pay for itself come years 5 onwards.

However be aware that extended warranties are not as comprehensive as
the original BTB even if the manufacturer issues the extended warranty.
(Things like turn indicators, lights, radio, CLA etc. may or may not be
covered). Be sure you understand the exclusions before committing to it.
An extended warranty is a different animal than a BTB warranty but well
worth it for low mileage owners IMHO.

Oh I forgot to mention that extended warranties often include a
deductible, you may have to pay $50 or $100 per visit to the dealer. The
deductible may vary depending on the initial cost of the warranty.

Just to add to your post, extended warranty prices are usually negotiable.
Shop around at different dealers or on the net.

Go to WARRANTYDIRECT.COM. I have had EXCELLENT experiences (4 policies on 4
different vehicles) with them for the past few years.

I have NO connection with Warrantydirect.com other than being a satisified
customer.
