If there is a variance in the rates I would think the 100K powertrain warranty has a lot to do with it as well.
I do know that I am out of warranty now due to time, not mileage. My rate is now 57.?? for 6 months... About what the Ford guys were paying in 2013 while they were under warranty.
Rates a based on historical repair cost as well, to some degree. I wonder if the higher rates are a result of the dismal reliability of the 6.0 and 6.4? Maybe?
When they started making their own motors, warranty claims came out of their pocket.
Yes, I'm well aware of the warranty repairs and how it all works. I was referring to repairs outside of Ford's warranty period for which MBI would have paid for.
Think I'm done.
That would fall under the definition of unfounded speculation..
I am pretty sure that Geico's MBI wasn't around for the 6.0 fiasco
But since we are speculating.. I have a different theory on it.
Ford put the filler for the DEF tank right next to the Diesel filler.
It is not hard at all to find someones telling of their having a brain fart and dumping DEF into the fuel tank.
GM put the DEF filler under the hood. That and the location of the tank was roundly ridiculed in 2010 by the Ford crowd, and even quite a few of the GM faithful.
But I have never seen a single report of an GM owner mistakenly putting DEF into the fuel tank.
DEF in the fuel tank is much worse than water. It is corrosive and forms crystals thru out the fuel system. It ruins the entire fuel system.
I think that ford became aware of this early on and told the dealers that they would not be reimbursed for fixing trucks that experienced this mishap... The knee jerk reaction from many dealers was to not take any chances and blanketly deny coverage.
Insurance ended up picking up the tab for many of these repairs, and rates reflected that expense.
This is my totally unprovable opinion.. That I think makes a lot of sense.
