Thanks! I'm also considering the lifetime warranty. In looking online, there are plenty of dealers that offer them. I think the cheapest I've been able to find is about $2700 for Max with $200 deductible. I would be interested to know if there are cheaper avenues to get the warranty.

Contact [email protected]

I was quoted $2,450 for $200 deductible lifetime. This was before the recent price increase so not sure what he charges now. He owns a dealership in Kansas.

Also search for Ziegler. Others have used him as well.

So I just got an email from Zeigler saying no more lifetime warranties after the end of this month. If your on the fence I'd look into it.

Anyone know if you can purchase the warranty before delivery in case it's not by the end of the month?

I'd say call zeigler and robbins and ask directly. Hope so for those who dont have them.

I'm trying to find out the exact same thing. I know you can get a full refund in the first 60 days, in case your deal falls through for whatever reason (such as vehicle being damaged during delivery). I just recently ordered my truck and don't even have a VIN yet, so it will be cutting it close.

I saw that. It’s a bummer, but I’m not going to be forced into rushing that purchase, especially with a 5/60 powertrain and 8/80 eTorque warranty from the factory. I only average 7-8K miles per year.

Whoa, really? Is that just through Zeigler or is it no lifetime being offered through anyone? I might have to pull the trigger on one tomorrow then

I'm not sure about Clay Robbins but it would seem odd if it was only Zeigler. I dont have more info I just wanted to let folks know since I personally waited a few months before picking mine up. Its atleast worth a few calls around to see what the deal is if youre thinking about it.

I contacted the FCA extended warranty department and according to them there are no plans to discontinue the lifetime warranties and they knew exactly where this came from. They mentioned they have had problems with this seller and suspect it's nothing more than a sales tactic.

Clay at Robbins also doesn't know about it and is checking on it.

EDIT: Well looks like it may be true. There are reports of FCA now saying yes they are killing off the lifetime warranties.

If that turns out to be true, it turns me off from Ziegler. I'll just get it from Clay at Robbins. He emailed me back this morning regarding my request for a quote.
