If someone is planning to keep their truck beyond the manufacturer's warranty and be without an extended warranty is just plain crazy. Myself, I'd be trading it in a 99,000 miles. No way could I afford a $10,000 + repair.
Does anyone know what the real failure rate is on these things?I I just have a hard time believing that this is an inevitible ticking time bomb, that WILL go.
With the cost of a new truck, payment is almost certainly $500/month. Two years of no payments would pay for the possibility of a failure.
I love the idea of the improved MPG of the new trucks, as well as the new gadgets they have, but my plan is to keep my truck for another 10 years.
