Eh. This is an expensive and complicated machine. Extended warranties are like insurance. You never want to use it, but are glad to have it when needed.

I bought one with my 2015 F150 with the brand new 2.7L TT. It expired last summer. Never used it in 80k miles.

I JUST bought one for the C8, For a 84 month/56k miles/$0 ded GM Platinum for $1828. Mine is a 2021 covered until July for the 3/36, and of course the 5/60 power train. I know I essentially wasted a few months of coverage, but it was such a good deal (in my mind) that I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I do less than 6k per year, so it is nice to know that it will be under warranty for another 7 years.

Will I be upset if I never use the warranty? Nope. That means I have had an additional 7 years of trouble free driving.
