I'll agree with you if you're constantly buying vehicles. However, for those of us who drive till they're done or totaled... It's cheap insurance as far as I'm concerned. My experiences have NOT been either they fail now or work forever. This will be my 4th new Ford truck. Service Contract on every one. Every one of the previous two trucks have paid for themselves with ease. The first one did not but that was when I was in my 20's and could not afford a large repair bill without it hurting my pocketbook in a large way. 2011 Raptor had the heated seats AND cushions replaced 2wice due to a bad heater. Never turned off and melted / burned the cushions (and made my legs NICE AND WARM to boot). And for me it's insurance that I believe will come in handy if ever needed. I divide it out and that's about $27/mo. I spend a whole lot more than that on my daily life with regards to my beverages. There are a shitload of electronics on these. I'm not willing to take the gamble even though I can pay for the bill upfront. Piece of mind for me. To each his own.

I would argue this... I would agree with you when talking about items that are mechanical with moving parts - you get into wear/tear - failure due to workmanship or stress on the items - excessive use etc. With all of the tech in these new rigs and all of the computers, sensors, electronics and pc type boards, those will work one day and not the next day. They don't have moving parts and therefore don't care about time. For the money you pay for one of these - it's a no-brainer to place a service contract on a $75k rig. You can't even replace both headlights for the cost of an 8 year service agreement let alone your PCM or SYNC4 head unit. 15 years ago maybe, not anymore. Besides, it's cancelable if you sell the rig or trade it in. Your "MONEY IN THE BANK" scenario will NEVER accrue enough interest to balance this out. Just my 2¢

I ordered because of: 1. Looks of the '22 MY Super Duty with the black wheels and little more "offroad" prowess 2. Former Raptor owner but wanted something that could pull off more towing 3. Ordered F350 vs F250 due to MN license laws. MUCH cheaper yearly registration fees for the F350. $130(ish) vs $700(ish) per year. 4. IT JUST LOOKS AWESOME! 2022 F350 King Ranch 7.3L - Rapid Red/Stone Grey Winch AS KR Luxury Package 5th Wheel Prep Stowable Ramps Vinyl Floors Upfitter Switches Heated Rear Seats Adaptive Cruise Engine Block Heater Roof Clearance Lights Splash Guards and Wheel Well Liners

So - once it makes it thru the "Offsite" it goes BACK to plant? --- ETA is 01/04/22 - with the early shutdown, is it "possible" it won't make it out of there until late January now?? Thanx in advance.

OMFG!!! That thing is a beautiful beast!

You're dealer appears to not give a shit. Go in and as for a copy of your VVR (Vehicle Visibility Report) - The dealer can see up-to-date status on your rig. ie., my tracker shows "In Production" with a date of 12/11/21 - My dealer pulls my VVR once a week for me and as of yesterday it showed my truck was "BUILD" and "MOVED OFF SITE" - I assume for the 5th Wheel Prep package and POSSIBLY the mudflaps. So YES - your dealer does have more information if they chose to take the time to actually look. This is just my 2¢
