For any vehicle I generally ask myself two questions.

#1 - How long has this engine design been used?

#2 - How long has this transmission design been used?

Accessory / electrical problems are annoying, but fixable. Powertrain problems are... the vehicle itself.

A friend had to have “the wiring harness” on his 2019 f350 replaced, it was 10k took 5 weeks and would have been at his cost if he didn’t have the extended warranty

10k to replace a wiring harness on a 350 seems... unreasonable. Even for dealership prices.

That's rip-out-every-wire-in-the-truck labor totals.

What were the symptoms?

Yeah it was more than ‘a’ wiring harness. I think it was going in to limp mode or something
