Cleveland Ford’s “Lifetime Powertrain Warranty” is a scam.

I will also add that I would not buy a new Ford or Chevy truck without an extended warranty. I usually add a 60 month 150k. Factory extended warranties are best but pricy. This joint venture Ford/Chevy transmission debacle has such a high failure rate that buy new without extended warranty is begging for an 8k repair bill.

Just a general PSA, you can buy an extended warranty any time before the basic factory warranty expires and you can purchase from any dealership, allowing for a lower price than you will likely be quoted at sale.

Allison leads the pack by a long way.
1 word for caution on Allison transmissions. The new Allison in the 1500 baby Duramax Silverados is not an Allison transmission. From what I can tell, they have paid Allison to badge it for Chevrolet.

WOW!! Mine's an 02, runs like a champ

Good to know. However I have no desire to purchase a new vehicle at this point. I'd have to have more money than I have sense. Back in the day, they used to build great vehicles. Hasn't been so in some time now

I’ve done pretty well buying new and driving them a long time. More than one way to skin a cat. Pros and cons all around.

I've had my share of new vehicles. Most of what I have now, I bought new. Just took good care of and still driving them. I've spent a lifetime collecting data to figure out what last and works the best for me
