You have 4 years and 40K miles to buy the OEM/Mopar Max Care Service Contracts, you have no pressure to buy today. You can get the service contract (incorrectly called a warranty) for about half of MSRP by purchasing from one of the mentioned locations. The cost does go up $100 after you buy the vehicle and add the warranty later, but you do not pay tax, so you save more than $100 buying later from that perspective. Also, if you finance it into the loan at time of purchase you pay interest on that portion of the loan as well. Save yourself up a couple grand and buy it cash 2-3 years later by calling Ziegler or Tom Winkles... Do not finance it.
Do not buy an aftermarket plan. It could be fine and work great, or it could screw you. Buy the Mopar service plan as it acts very similar to your original 3/36 warranty. You'll have a deductible that you choose (per occurrence) and a time/mile limit, the LIFETIME no longer exists. What a shame, I have the lifetime Mopar service contract on 2 vehicles. I would absolutely buy that again if buying a new loaded $70K truck that I was going to keep a while!
There are a small group of dealers who discount these Mopar OEM plans, Ziegler was mentioned earlier and the other I have purchased mine from is:
