They don't give you a warranty any longer in 2021 you have to purchase it. There is no incentive. We are headed back to 1985 where it was common at 50,000 to have to put a transmission in a truck and people didn't want to own anything with over 100,000 on it because of the repairs. Only this time it's pretty hard to fix a car yourself today they are too complicated to work on.

Buy stock in Toyota and Nissan, etc. We are headed back. GM is a dumpster fire right now. Ford might follow suit I hope not. If you drive anything made by Chrysler expect no change you already own a POS.



I think the only company still offering a 10yr 100k mile warranty is Kia. I would’ve never considered them for a car/suv 3+ years ago, but they have a good offering that is in line with the explorer and Acadia.

An actually V6 with 8 speed transmission, 100k power train warranty, and a new vehicle with 5 miles on it is the same price as a used explorer with 75K miles on it.
