Sorry to tell you that your ESP warranty starts from day one..there is no 3 +7 = 10 yr. You only got a 7 year warranty. 3yr/36 factory bump/bump and a 4 yr/64k or 89k extended Ford warranty. It only adds up to max. 7yr/125k total warranty. Still very good but no 10 yr..
"There are 4 types of ESP Plan coverages. The plans range from 29 key components covered to 1000+." ....this from Ford web site.
The plan I have covers everything except tire, brakes, wipers, oil and filters. I have the paperwork from the dealer, that's all I need to know.

Sorry to tell you your included warranty is not bumper to bumper. ESP is "Extended Serivce Plan" and you have to purchase it.

You don't have a 10 year warranty.. And I meant Premium Care Warranty sorry. Open your brochure and read again. The longest Ford warranty is 7yr/125k. And that includes your current 3/36k bump/bump warranty. Check with your dealer.

What you fail to understand is no one has a 3/36 bumper to bumper unless they purchase it.
Yes I do have a 10 year, Im looking at it.
I'm done.

And the 3/36 really is what is considered bumper to bumper. Sure there are exclusions for tires, brakes, oil. But those are wear items only partially warrantied under the 3/36. They are warrantied against defects, not wear.

Then you didn't buy a Ford warranty. It may be a better or worse warranty, buy it isn't Ford. Odds are it is worse, but that may not be true.

What he said!! we are just trying to offer you some info about the FORD Premium Care warranty. You might have something else, but I hope you don't think you got a 10 year Premium Care warranty.

After several tested drive with several car makers (Silverado, Tundra, Ford), Ford F-150 is my preferring. Initially, I was thinking to go for Eco-boost engine for better gas miles, however after I noticed there are some issues with Eco-boost "Ford F-150 Eco Boost Problems: Shuddering, Power Loss & Limp Mode", and the gas miles on Eco-boost is not really much better than V8 model based on other reviewing / experiencing. I realized that all car manufacturers has a few lemons, still I am try to avoid having to regret feeling after the purchase if there is any or possible. Should I avoid the potential headaches later on, and go for V8 engine instead. Please, give your unbiased opinion. Thank you all for sharing your experiencing in advance.
I have a ton of confidence in this engine.

aside from this dude who we all know the story to... Some people get so worked up about the eb vs 5.0 stuff its like the ford vs chev arguments. It'd be like me making fun of someone who owns an stx. We all drive fords here, the engine you pick should suit your needs and thats all there is to it

(as for the brakes, oil, tires, etc. any fool who has purchased more than 1 vehicle in his/her life knows this isn't included)
Of the million or so trucks out there...i'm probably the only one who has this factory warranty.

Thank you all for your feedbacks. Perhaps, this thread should call as “how often did you experiencing EcoBoost engine trouble with sudden loss of power during driving/hauling in the rain/humiditycondition. I didn’t meant to be comparebetween Eco Boost and 5.0 V8 engine. Iwas looking to see how offend this issues occur and how to remedy the situation.
Nonetheless, I had decided to go with Eco Boost. I started out with F-150 XTL model in mind; and I end up with F-150 FX4 model with sticker prices around $51,200 instead. I am definitely spend more than I original had in mind.
