After just going through this process I wanted to post this for context so I can help others out.

I just picked up my 2022 TRX yesterday. I opted in for the Mopar 8 year 125k mile warranty. I got it at cost and not dealer price. Interestingly, I was able to save an additional $1,200 by removing the door hinge/ tail gate hinge protection from the extended warranty.

Ok so I’m about to contact the dealer because I feel like I was lied to.
The 8 year 125K max care was $6600 at cost. When I was going over all of this with finance they showed me the screen they look Att which showed at cost and dealer cost.
Finance told me they could remove some things to make it cheaper by $1200. Then I looked up what he did. They gave me the care plus plan for $1200 cheaper than the max care which means he didn’t give it to me at cost. The at cost price for care plus on 8 years 125k is $4,400. They have it to me for $5,400.
So now I’m going to call and have them change that and to call the bank and tell them they made a mistake since I was lied to.
Last night I did some research to compare the max care vs the care plus plans. There’s A LOT not covered in care plus.
Here’s the comparison between the two:

So I just contacted the sales manager over at Koons, the online build order I placed through these forums 6 months ago, and he promised that he was going to correct the issue by placing the Max Care back onto the loan. Finance will reach out to me in the next 30 mins.
At-cost for the 8yr 125k mile would be $6,600 for the Max Care which is only $18 more per month over the Care Plus during a 5 year term. For $18 more per month and peace-of-mind I'll spend the extra knowing that everything that's listed in the comparison link I posted above is covered. This is a TRUE bumper to bumper protection.
However, since the loan was already processed I have to come out-of-pocket $1,100 to cover the remaining amount due to have the 8 year 125k mile warranty. I'm still pissed I have to come out-of-pocket when this should be redone to bake it into the loan.
I'd rather pay the $1,100 now than pay $1,100+ in the future on something that breaks. Any vehicle I've ever had that started to have issues was exactly the point when I went over 100K miles. There's a reason the price is steeper on these plans when you exceed the 100k mile limit.
When speaking to your dealer let them know that you are aware of dealer prices and at-cost prices for the Mopar protection plans. Ask nicely if they can give you the at-cost price since you are interested or else you'll go buy it on your own. If they are a good dealer then they will give you at-cost.
TO make sure they aren't lying to you get your free quick quote from Zeigler. They always have the true prices for these plans.

Without paying OOP $1100 I think I’ll opt into the Max Care Plus Warranty for 8yr 100k miles at $5,500 which is at-cost. The dealership said they would just switch over the warranty to Max Care Plus and that would be it. I could always upgrade in the future if I want to add the additional 25k miles to the warranty.
To all of those seeking, if your dealer is good to you then they will value the relationship over making money on the warranty. Otherwise, get a refund and go through Ziegler (link posted above). Good thing is Ziegler gives $375 additional off if you pay in full or you can pay monthly on it over a 12 month period with putting as little as 10% down. No bank loans or anything, just a committed monthly payment until paid in full.

Thanks again for this forum which made review all of the information that was baked into my loan. And forced me to compare the Max Care vs the Care Plus plan. Otherwise, I could have screwed myself in the future.
