Generally, extended warranties are mostly a gamble that the manufacturer and dealer usually win. I have never bought one for anything I own, except for my last purchase. That was for my Mustang Bullitt, and it has a TON of electronics and Bullitt-specific parts. I bought the 8yr/60K plan because I know I'll keep it that long.
If you are going to buy an extended warranty, NEVER go with a third party. Buy Ford's ESP.
X2. Also, you can buy from ANY AUTHORIZED RAM/GM/FORD DEALER so shop online for the best price then get your dealer to match it. When I bought my 2016 CTD I received a quote from an out of state Ram dealer for $2200 for the longest warranty available; 8 years, 120 miles. I simply told my dealer I would buy it "from them or buy it from you" it made no difference to me.
Time will tell if it was worth it but repairs on these modern diesels can be very expensive.
