Chip hold My22 & My23

Merry Christmas to you too!

The questions you have to ask yourself is what do you usually do with your vehicle, and how many miles a year do you typically drive. If you get tired of vehicles and sell or trade them in after 5 or 6 years, 60k to 70k miles, then it may not be as beneficial to you. On the other hand if you drive 20k miles a year then your high mileage for a 6 year old truck could be well worth it for you.

The electronics and other high tech on these PB's is unlike anything else. They also are not cheap so unless the truck has chronic issues, it will be worth keeping it for as long as possible. The ESP will help guard against major costs for a good chunk of the lifespan.

I drive about 5k a year now that I work from home, but I plan to drive more in the future. I went with the 10 year and 100k plan. This will probably last me the 10 years. I like to look at it this way. If I have this truck for 10 years and never need to use that ESP it will mean that I had a problem free, highly complex truck for 10 years. That is golden in my book, and instead of cursing that I may have wasted money on an ESP, I will be very grateful for the good fortune I had with this F-150.

Good luck with your decision and I know I am glad that I will have that ESP when I drive it off Grangers lot on 12/28. The clock on the ESP starts on the first day regardless, so the only reason to wait is to see whether you will like the truck and plan to keep it long term, or not like it and sell it in 3 - 5 years. Selling early you will not really benefit much from an ESP. Stay warm up there!

Thanks guys for all the insight! @Kodiak, I'll just miss you! Picking mine up from Granger on 12/30.

Well you should be home and have a new present for yourself just before New Years 2023. It looks like you may have some warmer temps for your drive but maybe some rain. Of course it is still a ways out so the weather could change but it looks like we miss one of those artic blasts the midwest and country just had.

My plan is to drive 280 miles the day I pick it up. I hope to leave Granger by 1:00 - 2:00 PM. Then I plan to drive 560 miles the next day. Then I finish it off with the remaining 260 miles on the 30th and hope to be home by lunch. This gives me easier driving and I can take my time and not go over 65. I hope to vary the speed a little, and take a lot of breaks, even it slows me down somewhat. I just do not want all 1100 miles at the same speed.

Remember to post some pictures and if possible, get that obligatory shot of your truck with Granger in the background! Safe travels.

Merry Christmas y’all!

Just think…this time next year, we’ll all have our trucks (fingers crossed). Sincerely hope to see one or many of you on the open road.

I’ll be sure to give an extra friendly honk whenever I see a fellow truck twin because we’ve all been through this wonderful social experiment together (we should get ‘Chip Hold’ decals to place in the corner of our windshields).

And a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all you guys! I’m glad that so many of you have got their trucks and a lot more have them coming. Drive safe out there and enjoy your families. You guys are great people!

Lol. Oh shoot. Didn’t even see that. So I guess I was predicting Christmas Day. Obviously I am not good at this. Ok. New delivery thread page is 223. Good luck everyone!
