Extended warranty. What are your thoughts

My 2017 Ford dually 350 truck has 12,000 miles on it. Thinking of buying an extended warranty????? I was picking up a B&W hitch I purchase at supply shop just after I purchased the Ford and ran into a Dodge service manager. He told me years ago that the best advice he would give anyone is to purchase an extended warranty before your truck factory warranty runs out. With the newer truck electronics, if anything needs replacing it will cost you thousands.


Any recommendations and or advice?

    I can understand why a Dodge service manager would recommend one. I USED to own a Ram. If you have a Ford or Chev, probably not. For what they charge there isn't much you can't fix for less than the price of a service contract. If you MUST buy one go with the one supported by the factory not some company you never heard of.
