Is the Ford powertrain warranty transferable?

I like to get a new car once I’ve paid it off. I usually opt for a 48-month loan, but I always sell my car to a private buyer rather than trade it in. Can I transfer the Ford powertrain warranty to a new owner?

Yes—the Ford powertrain warranty is 100% transferable to a new owner at no added cost to you. Since you’re
selling your car privately
, you’ll make more money than you would on a trade-in, plus you can add to the resale value by mentioning that the vehicle is still under warranty**.
However, the Ford powertrain warranty lasts for 5 years or 60,000 miles—whichever comes first. Because you paid off your loan in 48 months or less, your powertrain warranty would still transfer with one year left, so long as you still have less than 60,000 miles on the odometer.
