When purchasing a new Ford, one of the most important aspects to consider is the warranty coverage. Many owners ask, “How long is Ford’s powertrain warranty?” The answer is simple: Ford provides a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on new vehicles, offering protection for essential components like the engine, transmission, and drivetrain.

In this guide, we’ll break down what’s included in the Ford powertrain warranty, compare it to extended warranty options, and help you decide how to best protect your investment.

The Ford powertrain warranty is designed to cover major components that keep your vehicle running. Below is a breakdown of what’s included:

The powertrain warranty only covers repairs due to defects in materials or workmanship. Wear-and-tear parts, routine maintenance, and damages from misuse are not included.

How Does Ford’s Powertrain Warranty Compare to Other Coverage?
