- Fuel systemThe fuel pump, fuel injectors, fuel-pressure regulator and, on direct-injection engines, the high-pressure pump.
- Turbocharger and superchargerThe turbocharger or supercharger housing and internal parts, the wastegate actuator and, on higher tiers, the intercooler.
- Transfer case and 4WDThe transfer case and its internal parts, the center coupling on all-wheel-drive vehicles, locking hubs and the 4WD actuator.
- Drive axle and differentialFront and rear differentials, axle shafts, constant-velocity joints, the driveshaft and universal joints.
How much factory warranty is left on your F-250 Super Duty?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Ford F-250 Super Duty factory warranty
New Ford vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Ford dealer.
Why body style matters
Pickups are often used to tow and haul, which loads the transmission, transfer case, differentials and cooling system. Four-wheel-drive hardware adds more parts. If you use the truck for work, check that the plan allows commercial use.
Naturally aspirated gas engine
A conventional gas engine has no turbocharger, which removes one expensive part. The costly failures are internal: timing chain components, head gaskets, oil pumps and, on direct-injection engines, the high-pressure fuel pump. Powertrain-level plans cover these internally lubricated parts.
Diesel engine
Diesel engines last a long time but their fuel and emissions systems are expensive: injectors, the high-pressure fuel pump, the turbocharger, the particulate filter and the exhaust-fluid system. Diesel coverage usually costs more, and some emissions parts fall under a separate federal emissions warranty.
About Ford
Ford sells more trucks than anything else, and its EcoBoost turbo engines and 10-speed automatic are complex assemblies. Diesel Super Duty trucks get longer factory diesel-engine coverage, but everything else follows the standard terms.
