Comparing Warranties on Pickup Trucks
Overview
If you're in the market for a pickup truck because you need something tougher and roomier than an SUV, it's crucial to evaluate the warranties across different models. Truck warranties typically cover four key areas: Basic Warranty, Drivetrain, Rust, and Roadside Assistance. We’ve compared these elements for four popular models: Dodge Dakota, Toyota Tacoma, Isuzu i-370, and Ford Ranger. Here’s what we discovered.
Basic Warranty
The industry standard for a basic warranty is three years or 36,000 miles, which covers the typical lease period. The Dodge Dakota, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma all align with this standard. However, the Isuzu i-370 surpasses them with coverage for three years or 50,000 miles. This is advantageous if you plan to drive more than 12,000 miles annually.
Drivetrain
Drivetrain warranties are crucial due to the high cost of engine repairs. Isuzu leads this category with a 7-year, 75,000-mile powertrain warranty. In comparison, the Tacoma and Ranger offer 5-year, 60,000-mile warranties, while the Dakota has a notably lower 3-year, 36,000-mile coverage.
Rust
Rust coverage is essential if you live in areas with harsh weather or drive on salted roads. Here, Isuzu slightly outshines the competition with a 6-year, 100,000-mile rust warranty. The Dakota provides a 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty. Meanwhile, Toyota and Ford offer five years with unlimited mileage, though time is the more critical factor for corrosion.
Roadside Assistance
Isuzu again stands out with a 7-year, 75,000-mile roadside assistance plan, outperforming the Dakota, which offers 3 years or 36,000 miles. Ford covers the Ranger for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Information about the Tacoma's roadside assistance was elusive, raising questions about its coverage.
Conclusion
Overall, Isuzu demonstrates strong backing for its i-370 (and i-290) models with extended warranties, suggesting durability and reliability under high stress. If you don't plan to push the truck to its limits, Ford and Toyota's warranties should suffice. However, the Dodge Dakota's limited drivetrain warranty raises concerns about potential future repair costs.
