Very nice I think she will enjoy that very much. Just a note, I have always heard that a trip to Alaska will shake a RV to pieces. I don't know but you might want to get some input from someone with experience. Good Luck

Very nice indeed. I'm going to assume it's a diesel. What's lurking under the hood, the 6.0 or the 6.4?
More for the 6.0 but in either case get the heads, head gaskets and cooling system inspected. If you have bad head gaskets it's better to deal with them now than somewhere on the road when a lot more damage has occurred. I learned the very expensive way with my 6.0.

It's a 2007 so that warranty is long gone.

I'm sure it a Ford Gas "F Series". And by the looks of it it's a 2017.

That is the warranty that she got at the dealer starting from the mileage on it the day she picked it up

Wow! That is a really nice looking rig. That will allow her to enjoy some very scenic spots both in AK and along the way. Be sure to help her perfect her dry camping/boondocking skills.
I don't pretend to know all the nuances of the 6.0s, but I understand there are aftermarket "bullet proofing" kits that remove, replace, or upgrade certain troublesome components on that engine. I would give that serious consideration. I understand that it has a good warranty. However, a warranty is only as good as the nearest place that will honor it, and their access to parts or their parts inventory.

As I said above--please have her read EVERYTHING in the contract, specifically as to what is NOT covered. Most warranties of this sort end up being a veritable minefield of what to do and in what order when it is needed. Besides reading everything, go online and google reviews on the company that is going back the warranty when needed.
Might have her read thru this IRV2 thread:

We did a trip to Alaska in 2009, 6 months after we bought our rig.
Our rig held up well, no real problems but I will say the roads were rougher once we got to the Yukon on hit the permafrost area's. They would mark the heaves with red flags but since they popped up overnight they creep up on you. I hit one and my wife wasn't buckled in, she almost hit the ceiling and all the cloths in the back closet bounced off the rack.
Just take your time and you'll be fine, enjoy, it is a once in a lifetime trip!!
But I hope to go again!!!
