Question was raised about the MaxCare warranty.
We don't usually keep vehicles beyond the factory warranty period, but is the MaxCare policy something we should get anyway? Can it be purchased later? What's the most one should spend for it?
Ram's bumper-to-bumper warranty is 3/36. Drivetrain 5/100. Maximum Care (MC) protection (with various deductibles) goes up to 8/125 for the Cummins (unlimited for gas). If you're going to sell it during the 3/36 period not much point in getting it unless you think it'll help you sell it.
We purchased the older 8/120 ($100 ded.) MC for our '16 Cummins for $2200. Probably a bit higher now. BTW, MC does not cover the CAT (~$800) or the DPF (~$2000) after the diesel emissions warranty expires at 5/50.
MC can be purchased from any Ram dealer. Shop around for the best price. Have to purchase before the 3/36 runs out. However, between 1/12 and 3/36 I believe you have to have the truck inspected.
