Not sure if maintenance is covered but check the brakes, etc. Just a once over since they have your car up in the air they can sometimes throw these services in for free while it is being billed to warranty anyways.

Don't get too scared of your SAV/SUV. Treat it right and most of the time it will do the same. There are problem SAV/SUV's out there that no matter what you do it will just be a problem.

Also there are extended warranties out there if you belong to a credit union or a bank that can sell it that are actually pretty good. Route66Warranty Easy Street covers what manufacturers warranty will cover minus some smaller things. Major pieces are covered and the price is usually $1825-2250 for a 6 Year(start at the time of the warranty) 100K miles. No Deductible and you pay taxes on the parts and the fluids.

Good luck with the SAV/SUV and congrats.
