I've just gone through the same thing on my '13 with 31k on it. I'll be over the 36k mark before our July vacation. After a lot of research and deliberation we kept the cash in the bank. I've never been one to by a warranty – companies sell products to make money. While there are some very expensive things that can go wrong on a modern diesel, the probability of experiencing a covered failure during the warranty period just wasn't enough to get my dollars.
The only really, really major cost problem I could see that isn't already covered under the 100k diesel engine warranty is failure of the high pressure fuel pump. And most of those I've read about (from MANY brand, not only Ford) are related to contaminated fuel. I keep my receipts for every fill-up and my auto insurance will covered damage by contaminated fuel. (I checked on it,)
Now all that is my OPINION. Perhaps I'll say I made a good choice as I past 125k or perhaps I'll regret not purchasing the coverage at some point before that. IMHO either way is a roll of the dice.
Good luck in your decision. But more important enjoy towing with that truck.
