I bought the cheapest 2018 Ford F-250 from CarMax 3 years ago with a Bumper-To-Bumper warranty. After driving it for 3 years I picked up a new one and we’re going to drop this truck off at the auction where it will sell later in the week. The real question is was the CarMax MaxCare warranty worth it? We’re going to go over all the numbers on repairs and cost of ownership to decide whether you need the warranty in typical use cases. I think it’s great for peace of mind, but you can decide whether you need it or not based on my numbers!
My 2018 will be for sale at Farhas Used Cars in Wichita on Monday: https://www.farhausedcars.com/

Wipe your navigation, phone history, and garage door opener button from your car/truck when getting rid of it.
The adaptive steering is a feature on the new trucks. You might be able to turn it off in the menus somewhere
You should’ve kept that brush guard and switched it to the new truck
I would say the used car market craziness helps with accepting the issues, but fuel lines falling off, fuel systems needing replaced immediately upon taking possession and the entire front end needing replaced inside of 100K seems like a lot to me.
Love seeing “ tha boyz” back together every time.

Car/truck costs, both new & used, are enough to make anyone throw in the towel. I’m currently walking around on my hind legs.
Had you kept the truck until the warranty ran out, do you think you would have a good ROI on the warranty?
Oh man…. Wish I could justify a truck like that. True envy here. 😞
Are you sure the adaptive braking isn’t a setting that needs to be adjusted. My girls new explorer has crazy settings. There was one that would change the tension on the steering wheel during a swearing event.
Still got my ‘11 GMC 2500HD duramax, 212k miles. Still awesome. Replaced seat 3 times, steering wheel twice and carpet once. Other than that, brakes and tires. I’m keeping it. These are so crazy $$ now brand new I just can’t do it. You are smart for trading now. Great vids JR! (Maybe lay off the Fords and switch it up bub.)
new truck has adaptive steering which makes the steering feel light like that
If you would have been towing the vehicle in the middle of the day the fuel line would not have blown up.
Ahh yes…. Good times….
JR’s idea of reliable and my idea of reliable are totally different.
It needs tires?
Shoulda gotten the G class as the tax write off 😔
Warranty is basically a less regulated kind of
Warranty is basically priced to estimated losses. On average you'll not come out ahead; but if you're below average then you will and hedging that's the reason to buy one.
Yeah, my Wichita car max warranty for my 14 silverado I bought in 2017 never paid out for me. Nice to have, but probably wasn’t worth it
Ford has stepped up their truck game lately. I bought a used 2016 F-150 5.0 two months ago. I use it for construction (loading and installing insulation in new homes) and I love it. Not crazy over dodge or GMs offering be it gassers or diesels
Carmax Warranty is the first 4 months or 4000 miles of ownership. They do cover everything bumper to bumper. 👍🏼
“Trash the tires, drain the power steering”.
AKA, the 100 Percent Jake method
You should have the alignment checked I bought a new car once the the alignment was way off
