Ford F-250 Super Duty Factory Warranty — What Expires When

Bumper-to-Bumper

3 years / 36,000 miles

Powertrain

5 years / 60,000 miles

Coverage gap: Once the bumper-to-bumper warranty lapses, mechanical failures — electrical, HVAC, infotainment, suspension — are fully out of pocket. Third-party extended coverage bridges this gap and can extend beyond the powertrain warranty as well.
