I found this guy on the forum a few years ago, and got what I thought was a great deal.
Maybe he's still there...

informative thread. I’ve got a 2020 RAM 1500 with 47K miles on her. Works great but been thinking of an extended warranty. Where should I look or what advice would you all give for an extended warranty for my 2020 RAM? THANKS GUYS…….
There are several places, so price a few. Ziegler is a popular one. But make sure you check with Granger Auto near Des Moines, IA before pulling the trigger. They are doing a $50 over cost deal on the Max Care Mopar warranty. They beat everyone else by several hundred dollars on my '22.

Maximum Care warranty covers a whole lot, but not everything, which is normal. Though what sticks in my craw is the following: Only $100 for towing? That's not even close to enough:

Maximum Care provides 24 hour "Sign-And-Go" towing and roadside assistance (up to $100 per occurrence). Benefits include towing, flat tire change (with your good spare), battery jump, out-of-gas fuel delivery (maximum 2 gallons), lock out service (i.e. keys locked in car or frozen lock). Towing assistance will only be dispatched for mechanical disablement which renders the vehicle inoperative. The plan will cover towing and roadside assistance in instances where it is not covered by the factory warranty.

Who decides if the vehicle is disabled if it only overheats by driving it 10 miles at a time? Who wants to drive it at all in that condition?

Has anyone e had this happen? Just cherry picking a single coverage question

My Max Care Warranty is for unforseen repairs, my AAA Membership covers every vehicle I drive, for flats, towing, out of fuel, lockouts...

Agree on AAA, we have had premier plus RV, and it has paid off in the past. Covers dual rear wheel repair, trip interruption help, 2nd tow truck for 2 hours if needed, towing per distance instead of dollar amount, plus discounts all over the place.

I understand the peace of mind with extended warranty, don't actually buy them myself. But for others I have helped research and found 3rd party give advantages that might make a difference. Things like not being tied to a Ram dealer, especially when traveling, have been invaluable for instances when an all night truck stop helped my parents or no dealer nearby for a cousin on a trip. So it might be helpful to consider 3rd party if one travels.

Your truck insurance policy may cover most towing expenses. Our policies do.

MaxCare can be used at a repair shop too. The shop has to contact Mopar to confirm coverage before they affect the repair (just as a 3rd party ESP has to be contacted prior to work at any facility).

I may have paid a bit more than a 3rd party but it's very easy and there's no hassle. I take my truck in, they tell me if it's covered, they fix it, I pay my deductible, then I drive my truck home. It's been in twice under the ESP and it was simple. No paperwork, no phone calls, etc. I dropped the truck off at the dealership then picked it up when the work was done. After two ESP visits I have already gotten more than my money's worth out of what I paid for it.

It's also nice to know that the ESP company won't go out of business. Plus if I sell the truck before the ESP is done I can get a prorated refund for the portion I didn't use.

have you had to use your service plan from them yet? If so, was it a good experience? I got a quote from them and it's very competitive.

I have not needed it yet. I only have 21k on the truck, but I believe it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it . Keep in mind, it's a MOPAR warranty extension. The dealers treat it just like warranty repairs. Some years ago I had an extended warranty on a Chrysler mini van, and overheated the engine warping the heads at 100k. New heads and related work cost me a 100 dollar deductible. I really don't see a down side...
