Default Traded my 15 for a 16

my 15 once didn't accelerate as fast as i thought it should so i traded it for a 16. i'm sure the 16 will be problem and defect free because it's a 16.

I'll do the same with my 16 when the 17's come out because since it'll be a 17 it will of course be perfect.

of course i didn't do any of this nonsense i'm just making a point that there is no perfect pickup or any other car for that matter. I read a lot of outrage when one person or another discovers that 50k doesn't buy perfection. Well it doesn't.

These trucks have warranties for a reason. it's not the end of the world if your's develops a defect. Well unless your brakes fail down a steep mountain road, then it may very well be the end of your world, but i digress.

I bought an 8 year warranty and i hope i never use it but i bought it just in case just because auto repairs out of warranty are so expensive i figured the 1400 spent was worth one decent repair. after that it's all on Ford.

I've never bought an extended warranty for a vehicle. The temptation has been there but I've read many people have to battle to get the company to actually cover something. It seems they are always looking for a way to weasel out of covering what they should be covering.

I get it... sounds good until you get a laundry list of issues one or two I could see... but since I bought this truck it has never not had something broken or a part on order for it

Why did you buy the extended warranty if your just going to trade it in next year? You just threw away $1400.

Eh, it's a lazy comic. For one thing, they would be at a dealership which is a franchise. The same people that build the vehicles aren't the ones that would have put up that sign. Someone 3rd party to Ford or the dealership that the dealership hired would have put up the sign and not been a reflection on the vehicles in the lot.

Lazy comic maker is lazy. :p
