So this is all that is covered, things like tie rods are not?

WHAT IS COVERED?
The off-road coverage includes coverage of tire and wheel damage, small dents to the vehicle exterior or chips to the windshield that can happen while off-roading.

 

[Fly by Nite]

Yeah, only cosmetic damage is covered. From the brochure:

 

[HotdogThud]

Does this cover cracks in the frame welds?

 

[Snacktime]

Does this qualify as cosmetic damage? I know missing teeth is considered cosmetic by insurance companies.

 

[JKryptonite]

So dents , but not chipped paint dents … seems pretty useless as rocks usual chip before they dent …. My insurance covers windshields already …
anyone see the point of spending extra on this?

Nope, that is when you get the "your vehicle modifications have nullified your claim." statement. Accounts receivable no accounts payable

I can't really see a point in this either, but just out of sheer curiosity - what does this cost?

The only thing this covers that my basic tire road hazard doesn't is $100 towards a tow, and if I'm "offroad" a tow is probably going to be much, much more than $100.

Glass ... doesn't cover replacement of front windshield, and doesn't cover any glass but the front windsheld... so it will do $40 epoxy repairs and that's it (that my insurance already covers for free)?

And yeah, dent removal without any paint repair... and only small dents. So... they just try real hard with a suction cup, and if that doesn't pop it back out... oh well. How well does that work on Aluminum anyway?

This just doesn't seem like a useful product at all.

Ford trying to cover their exposure after literally printing “lift me baby” in the wheel wells and marketing the bronco as a direct competitor to other off-roaders.

 

[popo_patty]

Yea after reading the fine print this wouldn’t cover much of the off-roading I do

This coverage is a joke!

Ford vehicles can use more rugged coverage that’s specifically designed for challenging terrain. That’s where the new Ford Protect Off-Road Coverage comes into play. When added to select Ford Protect plans, it can help cover tire and wheel damage, minor chips and cracks to the windshield, and small dents and dings to the exterior body panels that may come with off-roading.

Off-roading is the activity of driving a vehicle on unpaved surfaces such as sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks and other natural terrain.

I can’t fathom any scenario where I’m off roading and I get a dent that does no damage to the paint.

Paintless dent removal is legit if done by a pro. It’s not suction cups. Haha. I unfortunately got hail damage on a 3 month old ‘23 last summer. hood / fenders / a few by door handles … cost me $700 , looks good as new. Nothing on roof cuz soft top. There was no paint damage from hail.
