No its legit. 6-12 month coating should be around 300 if it needs little or no paint correction. 2-3 year with paint correction is around 800 and up normally. I've had all my vehicles done its great stuff. I only do 6-12 month coating and have it done once a year.

I’ve never had a ceramic coat done, but I intend to do so on this truck as it will spend a lot of time outside. My research seems to show it is expensive, but legitimate.

It's great! If your truck sits outside alot cerimic IR window and windshield tint is another great protectant against uv rays especially if in a hot climate.

I am considering that as well. What is your opinion on ceramic vs IR tint?

Legit. As others commented, price will depend on application. There are spray on ceramics that last about a year and are easy to apply (translates to cheaper to have put on). A full ceramic coating will last a few years, especially with proper care, but are more tedious to apply.

Just had a graphene coating put on my '21 F150. Obviously time will tell but looks pretty slick. Anyone else have experience with graphene coating?

Yes. Windshield was 250 inc with tinted eyebrow. All other windows was around 400.00. These prices will very based on brand of tint. 3m Crystalline is some of the best also pricey. Ford recommends not tinting moon roofs since the glass is thin It cause them to break.

Another recommendation is these new large very expensive headlights and fog lights is PPF. Xpel is great stuff 10 year warranty will prevent rock chips this stuff is amazing.

Any idea what causes them to break? Did the installer tell you this? Break during installation due to application pressure?

Dealer said reflective heat causes the glass to break.

I purchased the complete exterior and interior protection plan when I bought my truck at half price. My 4 yr old truck still looks like new and it's always parked out side and goes thru a car wash once a week and sometimes twice in the summer. I don't have any swirl marks and water still beads up well.
