How can I find out if my used ford explorer is still under factory warranty?

I do not want to contact the Ford dealer or where I bought it from.|||Most Ford's come with a 3 year 36,000 or 50,000 mile warranty. If you have passed that most likely you don't have a warranty. But whats the big deal about contacting a Ford dealer? call them, tell them the year and make and model and they can tell you for sure if you still have a warranty.|||Call another dealer and ask them to look up the in-service date. You have 3 years from that date, unless your mileage is already over 36,000 miles. You may have 50,000 miles on the drivetrain warranty. BUT, if it's a serious repair and you're not too far out of warranty, they'll usually fix it for free or a very fair price. I've had Ford and GM fix out of warranty items many times. It's best to try this at the dealership where you bought it, unless they hate you for some reason. It's called customer retention or customer goodwill.|||Check the owners manual, it will explain how long the warrantly lasts. It will most likely be tied to time or miles.|||Ford standard warranty is 3 years / 36,000 miles. Which ever comes first.


Of Course safety Items and Emissions items are warranted much longer by Federal Law.
