Yea, Im gonna have to go with Brad on this one. The way technology is today, (cars lasting alot longer) I think extended warranties are more of a sales pitch in order to earn my cash. (IMO)

My 2007 GT has a 5 year/60000 mile powertrain warranty. It is the same engine that is in yours. Ford knows that some if not most owners are going to beat on it a little and still put the warranty out there. That ought to tell you something about the engine.

Consumer Reports recently did a study and the results were that Ford's quality was equivalent to that of Toyota's. I have 24k on mine and have had zero problems.

Wow. And I used to have faith in Consumer Reports... 24k and zero problems? I should HOPE so! Let me know when you have over 175,000 miles on your Stang like I had on 1 4Runner, 2 Camrys and 1 Celica, none of which required any significant repairs. My present 4Runner has 140,000 miles on it and I just returned from an 820 mile trip. Both 4Runners were tow vehicles, too.
