I actually used to work for the insurance company that underwrote the “warranty” that CarMax sold to their customers. While some vehicles would have large claims, the vast majority of policies would never have a claim. People need to understand extended warranties are just insurance policies. And all that insurance policies are just a wager between the consumer and the insurance company. You are betting that something bad will happen to you, and the insurance company is betting that nothing will happen. The insurance company has the data to know that the “odds” are in their favor. So, just like when you go to Las Vegas, the house sets the odds and controls the bets. That is why insurance companies are so profitable.
Just because the warranty didn't "pay-off" doesn't mean it wasn't a good idea. It could still crap out a transmission on a moment's notice and you'd be big time in the black on the warranty.
@@ivanoffw This is not a joke. All of the quality has been designed out of American vehicles. I worked at the claycomo plant during the 3 valve days. They have these 10 foot pry bars and giant impact guns. When some important frame bolt cross threads they send in the "hey boys", 2 will hold the impact, 2 or 3 will use a bar to put leverage on that impact to force that bolt on. All while never stopping the line... I watched a kid stroke out in the heat. Rolled his body off to the side and started the line back up, then called the ambulance. My point is that: production is all that matters at Ford. Not quality and not lives. Just those numbers. At the time it was 54 units an hour.
@@KeithZim, wow! Compare that to a Toyota line. At Toyota EVERY worker has the right and obligation to stop the line for ANY imperfection they see.

They needed to know why and how many bolts were off color, and to make certain that they weren't compromised and weaker than they were supposed to be.

I honestly don't understand how you put out daily content that's actually interesting and don't have the same amount if not more subscribers as channels that put out a fraction of the content.
It's the plastic bar(don't know the technical name for the part)that makes the door have incremental stopping points and friction so it doesn't just fly open. Very small bit of your favorite grease(I prefer silicone spray)and it's silent. Too much and it defeats the purpose of the part.

@@SteveBassen yes, and the adjustment range given for the aligners is pretty wide and most "techs" will let it roll with almost no caster. If it's in the green, it's good, right?
All in all, I'm glad it's been a decently good truck for you. Modern diesels scare the crap out of me, so, I was thinking the same thing you were when it came home.
@@WatchJRGo Oh, no doubt. But that's technology that has been in development since the 1960s. Diesel emissions controls are basically only 10-ish year old tech. Lots that can and does go wrong.
Dual steering stabilizer from rough country will save on suspension components wearing out quickly. I have installed tons of these kits on 3/4 ton trucks and it always fixes the issue permanently
I can confirm your experience that you have at carmax, I use to work for the company and I could have a person in their new car during their lunch break, it definitely helps when they already have the vehicle they want to look at all picked out before they get there. this would include the test drive, credit app, and signing papers.

I recently (well, 6 months ago) bought a Ford Fusion at CarMax and purchased the extended warranty because the car was 8 years old and as a 1st year model was known to have electrical and steering issues. CarMax has fixed every issue that I brought to their attention, for free, but now I am finding that the reason this car had such low mileage (approx. 3K/year) is that it does indeed have several electrical faults. I am not sure if CarMax can or will fix them, tho. The instrument panel lights get suddenly brighter or dimmer at random times...but still bright enough to drive. Several of the buttons on each side of the steering wheel stopped lighting up soon after I bought the car, making them nearly impossible to see/use at night. And sounding the horn causes the radio to momentarily " freak out ". I am guessing that the wiring in the steering wheel is frayed or too weak for the job, a design or assembly fault? Right now, I am living with these faults.
If you upgrade to another Ford F250 that still has the same frontend sheet metal just pull the grill guard and all the radar components and put it on the new one. When I had two 69 Darts and the slant 6 one blew a head gasket and I didn't want deal with it I swapped the better front fender that had the right trim holes and closer green paint between the two. Both cars still had fenders and the guy who bought the dead one cheap to fix couldn't care less.
I bought the XLT F250 PS new in May 2018... but I made sure to get the extended warranty and the Premium Service. One big problem is that (after the first DW visit with the aforementioned 'band-aid' damper replacement) the dealer is going to claim that the *tires* are the problem... and, of course, the DW is back... only at 80mph (we get to drive 85 sometimes in Texas). The main solution, of course, is the dual-damper kit that attaches to the front axle and the tie rod... still researching one of those that doesn't require a lift kit. Also, as you may know, these trucks need a 'disaster' kit that adds an extra filter between the CP4 pump and the rest of the high-pressure fuel system. My warranty's up in 2025 I think... I'll be installing one of those before then. Otherwise, love the truck... just wish Ford would do right by the death-wobbling.
Make sure there are no loose parts in the front end and then install caster bushings to increase the caster to about 5 degrees. Steering effort will be increased but your death wobble will be gone. A high quality steering stabilizer helps too. Tires can cause death wobble but it's not often the only cause
I bought my car from Carmax and it took less than 1 hour. INCLUDING the initial test drive. While we were signing paperwork, they had three guys washing AND waxing my car for me before I drove it home.
My professor works as a senior manager at the CarMax corporate office. He told me their plan is to make the buying process effortless as possible. People will pay a premium just to avoid the dealership hassle.
I drove an hour and a half out of my way to buy a new car at a Ford dealer that I had factory ordered. I've never bought from a bad dealer, but just hearing the experience, I'm glad I bought from this dealer because it was probably 30 minutes to pick up my car including doing financing. I maybe was there 15 minutes when I put in my order a couple months prior. So all in about 45 mins not including drive time.
And if we don't have the title, we're not going to sell it. I've been with the company a year in January, and I love it. I'll be sharing this video to my customers to sell more maxcare because it's an incredible value.
I realize I am missing the point here, but $4k in repairs, warranty or not, is a hassle and a let down.... makes me appreciate my 2007 Titan more and more. Ford has many loyal fans and they deserve better.
How often do you watch the channel? JR would buy a Ford just to bust on it and talk about how bad it is. JR’s a total GM hose hound. Everything else is just a car or truck to him.
Having just dropped a huge tub of yogurt on the kitchen floor which exploded everywhere upon impact, I empathise with how annoying that oil mess is going to be to clean up..good luck!
get a dog, they love to clean up food messes. My black lab was named Shadow but I should have named him Hoover. He would sometimes also eat food that hadn't spilled yet.
Don’t worry on top of the death wobble there’s also the turbo that loves to go out and a oil hose that is impossible to get to behind the engine that magically explodes causing the engine to get totaled you can look forward to. Every person I’ve known that have a new age Powerstroke have had one of those three problems.
I don’t really understand why so many Americans use full sizes HD pick ups when all they do is tow single car trailers seems like a massive over kill or just for the sake of showing off? I’d understand if you were pulling large machinery or the like. In Australia most of our pick ups/utes are 2-3lt dual cabs that do perfectly fine and are a lot cheaper to run and service.
He does pull Machinery occasionally and I'm sure he wants the ability to be able to tow anything. But you are correct because I know plenty of Americans here that have jacked up trucks and never tow anything or go off road. Part of it is a pissing contest.
It's kind of a chicken vs. egg situation. Those vehicles don't exist in the US. When we had them, people didn't buy vehicles in that segment mostly because they never/rarely offered useful options like a 5000+lb towing capacity or quad cab in our market. The original Ranger/S-series trucks were discontinued 10+ years ago due to low sales volume and they only had a towing capacity of like 3000lbs, but cost almost as much as full size trucks to purchase. Most minivans/SUVs will tow as much, and some owners do, so there really isn't an appeal for a "kinda" truck. But... the new Ranger, being a much heavier vehicle than the "old" Ranger, is available with up to a 7500lb towing rating. But... once again, it's just as expensive as a full-size truck when you equip it to do so. Soooo... Chicken, egg, chicken, egg, and around and round we will go. The short answer is people here don't do it because we don't have vehicles that _will_ do it.
Makers are just starting to make good small size trucks in the United States. and some of it Hass to do with government regulations at the time it was cheaper and easier for the manufacturers to stop making the small midsize trucks and just go for big trucks
0:12 Right off, Carmax sells a "service agreement", not a bumper to bumper "warrantee". They sell the factory warrantee back to Ford or GM or whoever, releasing the manufacturer from the risk of paying for stuff. At least that is what I was taught when I started asking why certain repair costs would not be paid. Now I will watch the rest of the video. Thanks.
keep the truck and add it to the Turo fleet. Surely there's guys who have big trailer they need to pull once in a blue moon that would rent it. Get a gooseneck and fifth wheel installed and have at her.
2018 with completely worn out suspension components Regardless of CarMax taking care of it that is very sad that a 3 year old vehicle can even have clapped out suspension parts
I bought one extended warranty for $2k. I only had it in the shop once for a valve cover gasket replacement right after buying it, so they repaired it for free without the warranty involved. I haven't bought one on any vehicle since and I've never needed it. In the off chance I need a repair done that I can't do, I have an emergency fund. I'm ahead vs if I had bought warranties for each vehicle. Just my personal experience.
I love it when you came to the realization that the $2500 warranty is not going to pay itself off. :) Hey though I'm sure you felt insured from disaster and that's ok too. I up-sized to a full sized truck a couple of years ago and it's my daily, and it is the most comfortable vehicle I've driven. It seems that about 10 years ago they decided that they could throw a bunch of comfort items into trucks and get their money back 5 fold, and that is definitely paying off for everyone.
OMAZE : Fun fact : It only gives a tiny percentage of donations to charities. And "not for profit charity" does not mean the management team don't earn big salaries.
Once those Michelin tires get to 50% tread, they are worthless. I've worked in a tire shop for years and I have replaced hundreds and hundreds of them. You are better off getting a new complete set of a higher quality tire, get a all around alignment and you should be good to go. And if you have one shock leaking, the others won't be too far behind so might as well replace them all...
It's not "bumper to bumper". Maxcare covers the major mechanical parts and all the electrical components. I'm a 5+ year sales consultant. People call it "B2B" and then get mad when things aren't covered. It's not all inclusive.
Mid 2000s I bought my first car at Carmax. 'Every' car I bought after was at CarMax. Last car was a Ford Escape SE. Transmission went up. Over $5k from the dealer and the warranty I bought from CarMax covered it.
JR, lol… I bought a 3k extended warranty for my then Mercedes CL600….2 years later and $20k paid, the warranty company “Blacklisted” me! LOL was the best money I’ve ever paid.
HEADS UP----I bought a Porsche 718 Boxster from Carmax with a Maxcare warranty. I broke down and had the car towed to a Porsche dealer and repaired. When I called Maxcare to file a claim they said too bad you have to get it approved first. So I am out the money for the repair. YOU MUST carry the Maxcare contract information with you and call their number and follow their process. Hopefully my loss is your gain.
My 2015 F250 work truck has been problem free and it's nearing 250k miles already. Mine has started to get rust bubbles all over the bed. Not a big deal, seems to be the only place it is rusting.
A lot of people have problems with the emissions system on newer diesel pickups. but I heard that if you drive a lot of highway miles (like you do) you will rarely encounter emission issues. Apparently new diesel trucks don't like tons of short trips. Like you would do on a kid and grocery hauler.
Fumoto valve for oil changes....you're welcome. Not getting your cost on the oil change. Walmart sells T6 @ $23 a gallon.....so aprox. $80 for 13 quarts. Motorcraft filter is $15......

I have not bought a car since 2008 but I have bought around 35 cars from dealers in my life, most were financed. ( over 65 total but the rest were cash from private sellers ) I have NEVER spent 5 hours in a dealership in all those times. It only took 2 hours to buy my house and sign all the paperwork. I paid cash for a SUV a few years ago at a buy here-pay here place, and even there it only took 30 minutes for everything. Luckily ? I am too poor to buy any vehicles anymore so I don't have to worry about it. My 2007 Elantra ( what I bought in 2008) will have to last till I die. ( probably only another 5-10 years max due to bad health problems )
So, I've been a Ford guy my whole life, however my Ford focus is a piece of shit, bad head gaskets, bad shocks bad clutch. I've owned many Fords in my life as well as Mercury and Ford just disappoint's. I have owned 6 Fords all bought new from the dealership and all of them were OK or So So except the last 2 that were total garbage. I will not buy Ford again until I see an improvement in quality. The dual clutch on the Focus is a disaster!!
The experience at most conventional car dealerships is crazy. I don't think you can get out of one with a vehicle without spending at least 4 or 5 hours even if it's the simplest transaction possible.
I have a similar oil caddy and mine doesn’t do well with a diesel oil change because the neck is too skinny to keep up with the flow. Also you’ve only had the truck for a year. The headline said lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty. I’m sure it would be useful if the trans took a crap or the fuel system broke.
9:45 I was wondering why JR was talking about selling his F250 so soon after buying it and gushing how great it is. For us mere mortals that would be a stupid, wasteful move. But I realized he is using it for business and can take a Section 179 deduction of a huge amount of the cost of the vehicle. Most people sell cars way too early and waste their money. But as usual, JR has thought ahead and this move makes total sense for his business AND he gets a new(ish) business vehicle every year if desired.
Keep it please I can't wait for tune and delete on this thing so you can enjoy the truck at it's fullest but I would warranty it as much a possible before I had to fix it proper like thx for this
You plan to have a thumping stereo In your shop? Make a video of snow on the roof and you crank the power of the system inducing an avalanche. This way you can write off your system as snow removal device 😜
Hey JR, I have a set of those michelins that I pulled off of my F250. They have 1200 miles on them if you're interested. Thanks. I'm loving my 250 as well. Just didn't like those tires on it, lol
Forget the term bumper to bumper and warranty. A warranty is included at no additional cost. What you have is a extended service contract or vehicle service contract. Exclusionary coverage is what you have, just go to the what's not covered section of the contract.
Here in Alabama we can barely get the diesel oil. The International dealer has been out of rotella for 5 months. My fleet of trucks I’m responsible for hold 7 gallons each. It’s been fun to say the least
What - your not going to try and out do Hoovies Dodge RAM with just shy of 1-Million miles? Actually, with all the stuff they put on diesel vehicles for emissions, I think it would be difficult (not impossible, but very expensive) to pull off that feat with a modern diesel.
I think the real question is how many days has JR owned it?? And how many days has it been in the shop out of service??? If you do hot shots, work construction, oil field, etc downtime can really kill your bottom line, even if the repairs were free.
If you do that work for a living you have multiple backup vehicles cause all cars year up u have 2 backup vehicles incase my backup breaks down too lol
If you’re getting at the truck being unreliable every brand has issues rn, especially diesel trucks. If you’re running a truck like this you most likely have others as a backup..
@@zackatron925 yeah I got a electrician as a customer of mine his company van is his o my car when it breaks down I double or triple charge cause it has to be fixed that day sometimes at midnight
Gotta be careful with those carmax warranties. I had a friend that bought a Focus ST from carmax and got the best max care warranty available. 3 engines later he received a letter stating that he had used the maximum $ amount of coverage (they highlighted the fine print explaining the limitation) and no further claims would be paid out. He traded the car as soon as it got out of the shop for a brand new civic. I will say that the warranty paid for itself like 2.5 times at that point lol.
Man, I will always get it on used cars I buy that are almost out of or already out of factory warranty… I got it on my 2012 Impreza hatchback when I bought it at 106k, and got a trans valve body, then an engine, and then a whole transmission! (Last owner drove the crap out of it apparently)
@watchJRGo You should make your next Turo purchase on Carvana and film the process! I’ve had two seamless purchases with them and I can tell you, it’s the future. Literally takes 10-30 minutes and you can do it all from home. 7 days to return it for a full refund and 100 days covered under a full warranty regardless if you buy the extended.
I know you like O'Reilly, but you'd save atleast 25 bucks buying the oil at Walmart. Even buying 4 seperate gallon jugs(if your Walmart didn't have the 2.5 jugs) plus you'd get half a gallon more oil...
I've bought cars in 30 minutes at "normal" dealerships. It goes like this. -Email them saying " I want stock #xxxxx, I will be there at HH:MM" -Show up at that time and buy it. -Salesman comments, "this is the fastest sale I've ever done." The End.
I bought a Dodge Grand Caravan from Fitzgerald in MD last fall with cash. It was an all day affair that really pissed me off. I do not understand I go to the finance off and pay them then they should hand me paperwork.Had to wait for them to mail the title also. I was supposed to buy another car from them but this ordeal had me tell them I changed my mind. I bought another van from a small dealer and I was in and out in about an hour.

Not gonna lie, I just got off work, and you uploading this is perfect timing while I wait for my tacos. Have a good night Mr. Ross, stay safe and don't blow away!

I don't mind some back and forth with a dealer if it will save thousands. Carmax is way more expensive than other used dealers.
Just expect $3k over.. but also typically new tires, a dealer that will stand behind the sale, stuff like that. 🍻
Easily 3k if not 4,500
I recently (well, 6 months ago) bought a Ford Fusion at CarMax and purchased the extended warranty because the car was 8 years old and as a 1st year model was known to have electrical and steering issues. CarMax has fixed every issue that I brought to their attention, for free, but now I am finding that the reason this car had such low mileage (approx. 3K/year) is that it does indeed have several electrical faults. I am not sure if CarMax can or will fix them, tho. The instrument panel lights get suddenly brighter or dimmer at random times...but still bright enough to drive. Several of the buttons on each side of the steering wheel stopped lighting up soon after I bought the car, making them nearly impossible to see/use at night. And sounding the horn causes the radio to momentarily " freak out ". I am guessing that the wiring in the steering wheel is frayed or too weak for the job, a design or assembly fault? Right now, I am living with these faults.
LEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did they fix them all ?
I guess it’s good news when the warranty doesn’t pay off because it’s not needed. 👍
If you upgrade to another Ford F250 that still has the same frontend sheet metal just pull the grill guard and all the radar components and put it on the new one. When I had two 69 Darts and the slant 6 one blew a head gasket and I didn't want deal with it I swapped the better front fender that had the right trim holes and closer green paint between the two. Both cars still had fenders and the guy who bought the dead one cheap to fix couldn't care less.
I bought the XLT F250 PS new in May 2018... but I made sure to get the extended warranty and the Premium Service. One big problem is that (after the first DW visit with the aforementioned 'band-aid' damper replacement) the dealer is going to claim that the *tires* are the problem... and, of course, the DW is back... only at 80mph (we get to drive 85 sometimes in Texas). The main solution, of course, is the dual-damper kit that attaches to the front axle and the tie rod... still researching one of those that doesn't require a lift kit. Also, as you may know, these trucks need a 'disaster' kit that adds an extra filter between the CP4 pump and the rest of the high-pressure fuel system. My warranty's up in 2025 I think... I'll be installing one of those before then. Otherwise, love the truck... just wish Ford would do right by the death-wobbling.
Make sure there are no loose parts in the front end and then install caster bushings to increase the caster to about 5 degrees. Steering effort will be increased but your death wobble will be gone. A high quality steering stabilizer helps too. Tires can cause death wobble but it's not often the only cause
They won't, Ford knows they have a problem, but now that's on YOU!? SUPRIZED, IT'S A FORD!
I bought my car from Carmax and it took less than 1 hour. INCLUDING the initial test drive. While we were signing paperwork, they had three guys washing AND waxing my car for me before I drove it home.
My professor works as a senior manager at the CarMax corporate office. He told me their plan is to make the buying process effortless as possible. People will pay a premium just to avoid the dealership hassle.
I drove an hour and a half out of my way to buy a new car at a Ford dealer that I had factory ordered. I've never bought from a bad dealer, but just hearing the experience, I'm glad I bought from this dealer because it was probably 30 minutes to pick up my car including doing financing. I maybe was there 15 minutes when I put in my order a couple months prior. So all in about 45 mins not including drive time.
Another attribute of CarMax, is that you get the Title. Some Online Car Sales Sites are being sued for selling cars without titles!
They don't mess around, you know the deal will actually be completed! 🍻
And if we don't have the title, we're not going to sell it. I've been with the company a year in January, and I love it. I'll be sharing this video to my customers to sell more maxcare because it's an incredible value.
You be speaking of Carvana? Stories of people on their third or forth temp tag because the tags paperwork seems to "get lost" with regularity.
I realize I am missing the point here, but $4k in repairs, warranty or not, is a hassle and a let down.... makes me appreciate my 2007 Titan more and more. Ford has many loyal fans and they deserve better.
Titans are great trucks...until you have to tow something heavy. Then you go looking for an F-250 PowerStroke. (Don't hate.)
Yeah, HD diesel trucks cost more to service.
Literally Ford=Found on road dead...
JR (ford fan boy): I don't care how much I have to fix! I love this truck.
How often do you watch the channel? JR would buy a Ford just to bust on it and talk about how bad it is. JR’s a total GM hose hound. Everything else is just a car or truck to him.
Having just dropped a huge tub of yogurt on the kitchen floor which exploded everywhere upon impact, I empathise with how annoying that oil mess is going to be to clean up..good luck!
😂😂😂 yours might smell worse if you don’t get it all
get a dog, they love to clean up food messes. My black lab was named Shadow but I should have named him Hoover. He would sometimes also eat food that hadn't spilled yet.
Don’t worry on top of the death wobble there’s also the turbo that loves to go out and a oil hose that is impossible to get to behind the engine that magically explodes causing the engine to get totaled you can look forward to. Every person I’ve known that have a new age Powerstroke have had one of those three problems.
Fingers crossed it blows up, let's get some real warranty action! 😂
John I think that no matter what, it sounds reasonable with a warranty, and what a nice truck.
Dual shock steering stabilizer!! Fixes death wobble! Unfortunate, but after replacing the entire front end on my f250 thats the only thing that worked
The actuary's that calculate those warranties, do a great job and make sure the company keeps the money, not spend it on fixing trucks...
Doug demuro did them such a solid, unbeknownst to him at the time.
I don’t really understand why so many Americans use full sizes HD pick ups when all they do is tow single car trailers seems like a massive over kill or just for the sake of showing off?
I’d understand if you were pulling large machinery or the like.
In Australia most of our pick ups/utes are 2-3lt dual cabs that do perfectly fine and are a lot cheaper to run and service.
He does pull Machinery occasionally and I'm sure he wants the ability to be able to tow anything. But you are correct because I know plenty of Americans here that have jacked up trucks and never tow anything or go off road. Part of it is a pissing contest.
It's kind of a chicken vs. egg situation. Those vehicles don't exist in the US. When we had them, people didn't buy vehicles in that segment mostly because they never/rarely offered useful options like a 5000+lb towing capacity or quad cab in our market. The original Ranger/S-series trucks were discontinued 10+ years ago due to low sales volume and they only had a towing capacity of like 3000lbs, but cost almost as much as full size trucks to purchase. Most minivans/SUVs will tow as much, and some owners do, so there really isn't an appeal for a "kinda" truck.
But... the new Ranger, being a much heavier vehicle than the "old" Ranger, is available with up to a 7500lb towing rating. But... once again, it's just as expensive as a full-size truck when you equip it to do so.
Soooo... Chicken, egg, chicken, egg, and around and round we will go. The short answer is people here don't do it because we don't have vehicles that _will_ do it.
Makers are just starting to make good small size trucks in the United States. and some of it Hass to do with government regulations at the time it was cheaper and easier for the manufacturers to stop making the small midsize trucks and just go for big trucks
0:12 Right off, Carmax sells a "service agreement", not a bumper to bumper "warrantee". They sell the factory warrantee back to Ford or GM or whoever, releasing the manufacturer from the risk of paying for stuff. At least that is what I was taught when I started asking why certain repair costs would not be paid. Now I will watch the rest of the video. Thanks.
I work at NAPA, we can’t get Rotella T6 at all, I’ve heard it’s out until sometime next year. Cant believe they had it in stock.
keep the truck and add it to the Turo fleet. Surely there's guys who have big trailer they need to pull once in a blue moon that would rent it. Get a gooseneck and fifth wheel installed and have at her.
This truck has the B&W turnover ball 🍻
the oil drain at the shop i work at is like that, and i forgot to close the valves before emptying it. Don't forget to close the valve...
2018 with completely worn out suspension components
Regardless of CarMax taking care of it that is very sad that a 3 year old vehicle can even have clapped out suspension parts
does not sound like a quality product to my european ears
I bought one extended warranty for $2k. I only had it in the shop once for a valve cover gasket replacement right after buying it, so they repaired it for free without the warranty involved. I haven't bought one on any vehicle since and I've never needed it. In the off chance I need a repair done that I can't do, I have an emergency fund. I'm ahead vs if I had bought warranties for each vehicle. Just my personal experience.
I love it when you came to the realization that the $2500 warranty is not going to pay itself off. :) Hey though I'm sure you felt insured from disaster and that's ok too. I up-sized to a full sized truck a couple of years ago and it's my daily, and it is the most comfortable vehicle I've driven. It seems that about 10 years ago they decided that they could throw a bunch of comfort items into trucks and get their money back 5 fold, and that is definitely paying off for everyone.
You got me wanting to try Carmax out.
Poor green meanie, you gave him a dinosaur shower!
OMAZE : Fun fact : It only gives a tiny percentage of donations to charities. And "not for profit charity" does not mean the management team don't earn big salaries.
Once those Michelin tires get to 50% tread, they are worthless. I've worked in a tire shop for years and I have replaced hundreds and hundreds of them. You are better off getting a new complete set of a higher quality tire, get a all around alignment and you should be good to go. And if you have one shock leaking, the others won't be too far behind so might as well replace them all...
It's not "bumper to bumper". Maxcare covers the major mechanical parts and all the electrical components. I'm a 5+ year sales consultant. People call it "B2B" and then get mad when things aren't covered. It's not all inclusive.
Mid 2000s I bought my first car at Carmax. 'Every' car I bought after was at CarMax. Last car was a Ford Escape SE. Transmission went up. Over $5k from the dealer and the warranty I bought from CarMax covered it.
Fuel line gush plus three Death Wobbles by 80,000 miles equals not a good truck.
Yea it's was crazy yesterday there was wind of 100km/h
JR, lol… I bought a 3k extended warranty for my then Mercedes CL600….2 years later and $20k paid, the warranty company “Blacklisted” me! LOL was the best money I’ve ever paid.
I feel like this truck shouldn’t have as many problems as it does for in being 3 years old and 80k miles.
I Agree!
Why don’t you keep it and see if it'll go 1 million miles like Tyler’s 04 Cummins Ram?
HEADS UP----I bought a Porsche 718 Boxster from Carmax with a Maxcare warranty. I broke down and had the car towed to a Porsche dealer and repaired. When I called Maxcare to file a claim they said too bad you have to get it approved first. So I am out the money for the repair. YOU MUST carry the Maxcare contract information with you and call their number and follow their process. Hopefully my loss is your gain.
I remember the fuel system leak. What a day. And Night.
My 2015 F250 work truck has been problem free and it's nearing 250k miles already. Mine has started to get rust bubbles all over the bed. Not a big deal, seems to be the only place it is rusting.
A lot of people have problems with the emissions system on newer diesel pickups. but I heard that if you drive a lot of highway miles (like you do) you will rarely encounter emission issues. Apparently new diesel trucks don't like tons of short trips. Like you would do on a kid and grocery hauler.
Fumoto valve for oil changes....you're welcome.
Not getting your cost on the oil change.
Walmart sells T6 @ $23 a gallon.....so aprox. $80 for 13 quarts. Motorcraft filter is $15......
Makes you wonder how Doug D was able to get them to fix every little thing on his Range Rover.
I think it was just less reliable... I was hoping this would break just as much 😂
Well, maybe because every little thing on his Range Rover was evidently broken.

Amazingly that Range Rover is still in service.
@@WatchJRGo maybe you could 'help' the transmission to explode, just before the warranty ends 😂👍
I have not bought a car since 2008 but I have bought around 35 cars from dealers in my life, most were financed. ( over 65 total but the rest were cash from private sellers ) I have NEVER spent 5 hours in a dealership in all those times. It only took 2 hours to buy my house and sign all the paperwork. I paid cash for a SUV a few years ago at a buy here-pay here place, and even there it only took 30 minutes for everything. Luckily ? I am too poor to buy any vehicles anymore so I don't have to worry about it. My 2007 Elantra ( what I bought in 2008) will have to last till I die. ( probably only another 5-10 years max due to bad health problems )
Buying a car at a dealer - watch "your advocate alliance" episodes - the info is worth every minute
So, I've been a Ford guy my whole life, however my Ford focus is a piece of shit, bad head gaskets, bad shocks bad clutch. I've owned many Fords in my life as well as Mercury and Ford just disappoint's. I have owned 6 Fords all bought new from the dealership and all of them were OK or So So except the last 2 that were total garbage. I will not buy Ford again until I see an improvement in quality. The dual clutch on the Focus is a disaster!!
The experience at most conventional car dealerships is crazy. I don't think you can get out of one with a vehicle without spending at least 4 or 5 hours even if it's the simplest transaction possible.
I have a similar oil caddy and mine doesn’t do well with a diesel oil change because the neck is too skinny to keep up with the flow. Also you’ve only had the truck for a year. The headline said lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty. I’m sure it would be useful if the trans took a crap or the fuel system broke.
9:45 I was wondering why JR was talking about selling his F250 so soon after buying it and gushing how great it is. For us mere mortals that would be a stupid, wasteful move. But I realized he is using it for business and can take a Section 179 deduction of a huge amount of the cost of the vehicle. Most people sell cars way too early and waste their money. But as usual, JR has thought ahead and this move makes total sense for his business AND he gets a new(ish) business vehicle every year if desired.
Death wobble you say?
**SLAP**
_STEERING DAMPENER!_
Keep it please I can't wait for tune and delete on this thing so you can enjoy the truck at it's fullest but I would warranty it as much a possible before I had to fix it proper like thx for this
I did the same thing when I bought my mazda with carmax, my master cylinder went out. And it was painless.
You plan to have a thumping stereo In your shop? Make a video of snow on the roof and you crank the power of the system inducing an avalanche. This way you can write off your system as snow removal device 😜
Hey JR,
I have a set of those michelins that I pulled off of my F250. They have 1200 miles on them if you're interested. Thanks.
I'm loving my 250 as well. Just didn't like those tires on it, lol
Hard to quantify the value of the peace of mind the warranty has added to your ownership experience.
I pre-ordered my VW ID4 and when it got to the dealership I was in and out in about 25 minutes.
Forget the term bumper to bumper and warranty. A warranty is included at no additional cost. What you have is a extended service contract or vehicle service contract. Exclusionary coverage is what you have, just go to the what's not covered section of the contract.
Here in Alabama we can barely get the diesel oil. The International dealer has been out of rotella for 5 months. My fleet of trucks I’m responsible for hold 7 gallons each. It’s been fun to say the least
Not a Ford fan and hearing about your troubles confirms my feelings...
What - your not going to try and out do Hoovies Dodge RAM with just shy of 1-Million miles? Actually, with all the stuff they put on diesel vehicles for emissions, I think it would be difficult (not impossible, but very expensive) to pull off that feat with a modern diesel.
I think the real question is how many days has JR owned it?? And how many days has it been in the shop out of service??? If you do hot shots, work construction, oil field, etc downtime can really kill your bottom line, even if the repairs were free.
If you do that work for a living you have multiple backup vehicles cause all cars year up u have 2 backup vehicles incase my backup breaks down too lol
If you’re getting at the truck being unreliable every brand has issues rn, especially diesel trucks. If you’re running a truck like this you most likely have others as a backup..
@@zackatron925 yeah I got a electrician as a customer of mine his company van is his o my car when it breaks down I double or triple charge cause it has to be fixed that day sometimes at midnight
@@TheMechanicj honestly I almost under stand with it being a van lol imo anyone who uses a pickup regularly should have a backup rig
Gotta be careful with those carmax warranties. I had a friend that bought a Focus ST from carmax and got the best max care warranty available. 3 engines later he received a letter stating that he had used the maximum $ amount of coverage (they highlighted the fine print explaining the limitation) and no further claims would be paid out. He traded the car as soon as it got out of the shop for a brand new civic. I will say that the warranty paid for itself like 2.5 times at that point lol.
Man, I will always get it on used cars I buy that are almost out of or already out of factory warranty… I got it on my 2012 Impreza hatchback when I bought it at 106k, and got a trans valve body, then an engine, and then a whole transmission! (Last owner drove the crap out of it apparently)
Hello from South Korea
Sounds nicer than North Korea 😳
You buy a Ford you better get a warranty!You will need it.
@watchJRGo You should make your next Turo purchase on Carvana and film the process! I’ve had two seamless purchases with them and I can tell you, it’s the future. Literally takes 10-30 minutes and you can do it all from home. 7 days to return it for a full refund and 100 days covered under a full warranty regardless if you buy the extended.
You’re a better man than me. I would have broke western.
I have done the same thing at CarMax. Including the test drive I was in and out in 1hr05 min.
time for a carmax to turo turn around!
I know you like O'Reilly, but you'd save atleast 25 bucks buying the oil at Walmart. Even buying 4 seperate gallon jugs(if your Walmart didn't have the 2.5 jugs) plus you'd get half a gallon more oil...
Definitely can't wait to see you do a brake job on this truck. I'd also like to see you do one of your review videos on that new Mustang
@4:51 those Michelin tires look like they've climbed some curbs!
Yeah, the oil change on my Ram 1500 is almost $80, it isn't the old days where a filter was $3 and oil was $2/quart for Pennzoil lol
I've bought cars in 30 minutes at "normal" dealerships. It goes like this.
-Email them saying " I want stock #xxxxx, I will be there at HH:MM"
-Show up at that time and buy it.
-Salesman comments, "this is the fastest sale I've ever done."
The End.
Coincidentally, a friend tried to buy a new Durango RT from inventory, all cash, and the dealership gave him a very hard time.
Buying a car with cash shouldn’t be painful. It is though, I had the same problem twice takings hours and hours.
When you're ready to buy a new truck, do you think you would get a Dodge or Chevy to try them out and compare or will you stick with the Ford?
So for the non mechanical guy, the warranty paid off and he still has a bit more to go. Seems like a win to me.
Geez that grill !
I dunno...it seems like a lot of fails for a truck with only 80,000 miles. I wouldn't be too happy having to pay $4000 in repairs over 30,000 miles.
15w-40 isn't good from what ive read. Seen multiple spun bearings from people running it. 10w-30 or 5w-40 in them only
Amazing truck... except for the inherent design flaw that it requires a suspension rebuilt every 15k miles... 'MERICA!
I bought a Dodge Grand Caravan from Fitzgerald in MD last fall with cash. It was an all day affair that really pissed me off. I do not understand I go to the finance off and pay them then they should hand me paperwork.Had to wait for them to mail the title also. I was supposed to buy another car from them but this ordeal had me tell them I changed my mind. I bought another van from a small dealer and I was in and out in about an hour.
