Default Extended Warranties, With who? Are they worth it?

I have 34K miles and counting and I have to decide on a extended warranty before 35K.... SO

Anyone out there have an extended warranty horror stories? Companies to avoid...

What expecially should I look for in coverage in an extended warranty considering my vehicle (xb)? I plan to put 100K+ miles

If you purchased one... How much? and with who?

THX,

will

TEC (toyota extra care)
best bang for the buck, i think
stay away from Fidelity, most dealers will not deal with them, FYI

try and stay with Toyota extended warranties, most dealers will not or do not
deal with aftermarket warranty companies, just too much of a hassle and dont cover most items TEC would

Well I have noticed some exteneded warranties even cover timing belts/chain and seals and gaskets... which really intrest me... BUT it all come down to if within I will realistically have any issues with timing belts/chain and seals and gaskets WITHIN 100K miles.

This is my first Toyota product... I heard reliability and durability being very good on their products but constantly driving mine at 4K RPM on the freeway will always seem to worry me.
