Default Extended warranty.

My warranty runs out on my 07 the 31st of this month.Can't decide if to buy the extended warranty or take my chances.I only have a little over 22,000 miles on the truck in 3 years.The only problems I have had with the truck is warped front rotors which they turned under warranty and the grill emblem started bubbling up and a rattle on the manual 4wd lever linkage which I learned to live with.I hate to spend another 12-15 hundred dollars on a gamble that something will break.I pull a trailer that ways about 2500-3000 lbs 3-4 times a week around town.
I want a new F250 diesel but just can't justify 50+ thousand when this truck is paid for.So my question is would you buy the warranty or take the gamble.

I would go with the warranty. You never know what could happen. Unless you have a good chunk of dough lying around. I would stick with the warranty but it's up to you.

Do you plan on keeping the truck? 4wd can get expensive to fix. I would only want a powertrain extended warranty, tranny, motor, transfer case and differentials.
Mine is an '08 with 14k. I am inquire about extending the powertrain warranty.

$1500 is cheaper than the $50,000 get the warranty if you sell it you can have it transferred, good selling point, but if you dont, you sure wont have to worry about dishing out bucks for a repair. JMHO
