Hello all,
I have been contemplating buying a new truck this year, the two from Ram that really scream are a 1500 Laramie Longhorn, or the PW. Leaning Longhorn for all the time comfort. But I do like doing a lot of outdoor stuff, and having a badass off-roader, with 7/10ths that comfort might be the way too.
I have never owned a Ram, came close during the 3rd gen release. But without trying to offend anyone here, Fiat and Crysler quality and history of lack there of concerns. Further complicated by owning a Crysler 300 briefly that was a POS.
The only way I can make the investment is knowing I'll be protected from the first/second year production woes, and that unholy alliance in the background.
Which leads me into the factory extended warranty... For those with direct knowledge, Mopar advertises 5007 components covered. I assume that's the bulk of most major components.
But I'd like to see for those that have purchased the factory extended plans, have you had any instances of failed components that were not covered? Aside from general wear, tear, belts, hoses, etc....?
For those that did not purchase the factory extended warranty, have you had an instance you wish you had?
Also, why would anyone want the wheel, windshield, dent protection? Lol
My insurance covers those for sofa pocket change every month.
