He said in another post that it was 50k for the 2011's. I find that odd as mine is 60k and I have a 2011.

I have a question and I'm not bashing you for looking for a new truck. I know several folks that trade when the warranty is up so they always have coverage. Why not pay $1200 or so for the extended coverage and just keep it longer? I use to trade after about 18 months to 2 years but not for warranty reasons, I got bored and wanted new. Now that I'm married with children I can't afford that hit anymore.

I think maybe Ford shorten the warranty because it is an EcoBoost and they are all limited to about 50k before they blow up. They are brand new turbo technology after all so they simply cannot last, that is proven fact ya' know. It's a conspiracy, a conspiracy I tell you.

I don't think I paid much more than that. There are several ford dealers that will quote you a price online. I took the email into my local dealer and they matched the price.

I like a new ride every 2-3 years, sooner if the right deal comes along. The warranty being up just pushes me a little harder to find something. I did keep my diesel longer but I had a little more confidence in it not breaking.

Yeah, there is a thread about this. Ziegler Ford is one of the online dealers. I believe I looked at a 125,000 mile Premium coverage warranty (bumper to bumper) and it was going to be around $1,900.

2011 – F150 Eco-Boost with 53,000 miles. The check engine light appeared immediately as I tried to pull onto a freeway pulling a 3000 lbs boat. All of a sudden I had a drastic loss of power followed by a violent shutter. This eco-boost had been slightly shuttering under low RPM high torque loads since the day I bought it, but Ford said that without a warning light they couldn’t do anything...
I want to look into some options to assist. For me to do so, I'll need a PM from you with your name, daytime phone number, mileage, VIN, and preferred servicing dealership.

Also, they stopped making the 350 a while in their trucks. In fact, as of the 2014 model year they have new engines across the board.
I love my 350 I have in my k5 blazer...
