Warranty Differences

[jetfixr1]

I see that the trucks come with a federally mandated 8 YR/100K mile electric components warranty. Window stickers also show a 5 YR/ 60K mile powertrain warranty. What is the difference? If an electric motor goes out past the 5/60 warranty period, how is it covered? It is technically a powertrain, but also a component unique to electric vehicles that should be covered under the federal mandate 8/100. How about components such as inverters, charge ports, etc?

EV-specific components are 8/100. My guess is that “powertrain” is stuff like the gearboxes, axle shafts, etc.

I was looking at this video from Munro Live and the cooling system of this truck doesnt seem well designed. If one of these hoses breaks, its going to be a PITA to replace. Would this be most likely covered under the 8/100 warranty since its battery specific?

Probably not. You can easily access the warranty specifics online.

A hose would likely be covered for 3 years / 36,000 miles.

(1) Your vehicle's Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended Powertrain coverage applies to all components of the driveline that are not specifically covered by the Electric Vehicle Component warranty. Powertrain components that receive warranty coverage for five years or 60,000 miles may include gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints.

(2) The high voltage battery and eDrive systems of your vehicle are covered by the Electric Vehicle Component coverage for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. High voltage battery and eDrive components covered by this warranty include the high voltage battery assembly, Bussed Electrical Center (BEC), Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), on-board charger, Inverter System Controller (ISC), DC/DC converter, and eDrive. If a covered component requires replacement under the Electric Vehicle Component warranty, it may be replaced with a new, factory remanufactured, or factory refurbished component, at Ford’s discretion. Refurbished battery components selected for your vehicle will align with your vehicle’s age and mileage and meet Ford’s requirements and standards.

I don’t replace hoses proactively and the last one I had break was on a 98 CR-V with over 200K. And hoses on an EV won‘t experience the high temps like they do on an ICE. I’m not worried about them on my EVs.
