I just picked up my new 2021 XLT last night. Thank you for posting this about ESP's. I took a picture in and showed the finance gut what I could buy at Flood. They eventually gave me the same price. They tried everything to work around it. They wanted 6K for an 8yr service and maintenance plans.I have seen some of this mentioned during various threads and thought it would be a good idea to centralize it in one place.
Online Ford extended service plans are much cheaper purchasing through an online Ford ESP seller. They sell tons of plans and save you tons on the price. I am listing several I have found that are close in price but there is difference. They are selling the same Ford backed plan, good at any Ford dealer.
I will tell you, it is cheaper to start the plan the first year with less than 12,000 miles.
You can purchase these right up till the end of the bumper to bumper warranty. 3 years 36,000 miles which ever comes first.
They offer options of various years, mileage and deductibles.
They also offer two enhanced car rental services, bulb replacement and key options. With LEDs and their expense, I get it and both car rental options. Both are cheap for the time period they are covering me, like $70 for the 6 year plan that I get.
All rebate back unused portions not used anytime you want. They are transferable so a good selling tool if you ever do that.
These plans start day one of the trucks service date. So a 2021 with a 6 year plan, expires in 2027.

I have used Flood and service was excellent but currently after pricing these on line to compare, Zeigler was the cheapest for me but you have to pay in full up front. I did not see that discount at Flood. In the coupon box type payinfull and it will save you something like $250 off. Without that, Flood was cheaper, I believe Anderson was the same as Flood.
Anyway just another tool for ya'll to consider and if you want one, here is way to save a good bit of money.
If anyone knows of others, feel free to post it here.
Update... Ford ESP plan had price increased starting early Jan 2021
I would suggest you give your dealer the option to price match. Watch their faces when you tell them what you can get it for.
It's priceless!!
Admin-I may have started this thread in the wrong spot. Move if it you need to. thanks
My pleasure to see that this post has helped you and so many more! Knowledge is power! Lol
Do they not refund us for the unused years left on the warranty? I know I get the pre-paid maintenance refunded but my current truck is the first one I ever got the extended warranty so I don't know if that is non-refundable for the remaining years...
Yes they refund for the unused portion. When I traded my 2017 they sent me a refund.
As you move on through the process with Ziegler, it shows gas/hybrid.
Should not matter for the hybrid comes with it's own extended warranty. I think it is 10 years 80,000 miles if I'm not mistaken, something close to that anyway.
You done good, first time I heard of someone beating them.
Thanks, I worried about it all day and then they pull something like this!?!? And, very little rust.
