Thanks everyone for all the info. I was inclined to spend the $150
anyway, but I'll go talk to the dealer tomorrow about it. Now I'm
wondering if the Toyota dealership wanted to charge me $150 just to
file a piece of paper that I could file myself for free.

Most manufacturers (Jeep in this case) require a payment to transfer the
warranty when the title or ownership of the vehicle transfers. Not the
dealer, the manufacturer. With the basic warranty it is usually like $25
or $50. Could be higher for the extended powertrain warranty.
