2021 TRX
As of today I’ve had my TRX 3 years. First vehicle I’ve kept long enough to let the bumper to bumper expire. 23,000 miles, lots of memories and more to come. We’ve done a little bit of everything with it and it’s had quite a few different looks along the way. From my first photo of it when it finally hit the dealer after a 4 month order wait:

And everything in between!

Similarly mine turned 3 years on 8/6 with 22,000 miles.
Warranty went to shit with a tune a while prior to that though.
I give props to those who have the patience to keep this thing stock. Too tempting to mod
 
I think you were probably out of warranty sometime ago with all your tinkering!😝🤣
Very true. Think the suspension was the only thing arguably still covered until today. With my luck I’m sure I’ll find one of these $1200 shocks leaking any minute now…
 
Throw a set of tow mirrors on your truck and we’d damn near twins! I hit 3 years on August 3rd with damn near 34,000 miles. The extended warranty will get me to 7yr/75K miles for bumper to bumper.
 
Well, you haven't babied her, but not abused either. It is a truck at the end of the day. I am (selfishly) glad you are sticking around for a while. Goes without saying (typing?) you are one of the most helpful and informative members on here. Best of luck without any bumper to bumper and you still have some Powertrain Warranty....

Welcome to the out-of-warranty club! I passed 36k in late May (just short of 40k now). I originally had visions of adding a pulley and more after I was out of the base warranty. But somewhere along the way, I realized that the drivetrain warranty is still good for a bit longer. So I've been furiously doing absolutely nothing more to it lately.
 
Any thoughts on hitting up someone like Granger for an extended warranty? I went for the 7yr max coverage and the price was reasonable. I'm keeping it until it gets stolen or the wheels fall off of it... hoping for the latter!

I think I am headed that direction as well. After IGLA gets installed I can stop bleeding money on the truck and recover 😂. I know it gets more expensive every year so I need to pull the trigger on it soon.

Absolutely! I think it was $2800 for four additional years and enough mileage for my needs. $700 a year for bumper to bumper coverage isn’t a tall ask.

Go check the exclusions. It is certainly not a bumper to bumper warranty.

Hmm. Maybe that was the wrong term in that sense. It covers all of the major components that would cost a fortune to replace. That was my understanding.
