What Every Ford Buyer Should Know About CPO Coverage, Hybrid Benefits, and Extending Protection
Thinking about buying a certified pre-owned Ford? Whether it’s an F-150 Hybrid or a fuel-efficient Escape, knowing what your Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty includes, and doesn’t, can give you peace of mind before you drive off. In this article, we’ll unpack what’s covered under Ford’s CPO warranty, how hybrid components are handled, and how it compares to the protection offered by Ford Protect extended plans.
When you purchase a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you’re not just getting a used car. You’re getting a thoroughly inspected vehicle backed by factory-backed warranty coverage. Every CPO Ford must pass a 172-point inspection, meet strict mileage and age limits, and come with two comprehensive warranties.
Warranty Type | Coverage Details |
12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty | Covers more than 1,000 components, similar to a new car bumper-to-bumper warranty. |
7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty | Covers engine, transmission, rear/front-wheel drive systems, and more. |
24/7 Roadside Assistance | Flat tire change, jump-starts, lockout assistance, fuel delivery, and towing. |
If you’re eyeing a Ford hybrid like the F-150 PowerBoost or Escape Hybrid, Ford hybrid coverage is already included under the CPO powertrain warranty. However, hybrid-specific components like the battery and electric motor are treated a bit differently.
Component | CPO Warranty Coverage | Extended Ford Protect Option |
Gasoline Engine | 7 years / 100,000 miles (Powertrain) | Up to 10 years / 175,000 miles (PremiumCARE) |
Transmission | 7 years / 100,000 miles (Powertrain) | Included |
Hybrid Battery & Electrical Systems | Limited coverage; varies by model/year | Covered under Ford Protect PremiumCARE |
Inverter, Converter, Hybrid Motors | Not always included | Covered under Ford Protect ExtraCARE |
