I sure know I'd take a lifetime warranty if given the chance.
Its only on select models and there are maintenance and verification requirements as well as it being non-transferrable. It may sound good on the surface, but it also virtually "kills" the used vehicle value since even a relatively new truck will not have a powertrain warranty if it is traded in. It only works if you keep the truck a long time (which I hope people would do) and record and the powertrain's health at specific intervals. I'm not saying it is bad, but it isn't great either... too many conditions and the non-transferrable part is a big knock to the offering...
