I am thinking of waiting for 27 and see if we can at least get the Baby Duramax in a RCSB.

Did you ever do this?

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Most Americans are likely Not Aware that 60% of the heavy oil used for making gasoline in the US came from Canada last year. More specifically from the province of Alberta were I live. Most US oil production is light oil and is exported. As of Monday Mr. Trump plans on putting a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and it looks like he plans on a tariff on Canadian oil imports. So how there can be a 25% tariff on something that you import 60% of without it having a negative effect or causing a price increase to the guy at the pump will be interesting to see, Economists are saying US gasoline prices could be going up about $1.00 per US gallon if Trump enacts this oil tariff. What is also interesting is that Canada has been selling this oil to the US at a massively discounted price as compared to the world OPEC price schedule, so if the US goes shopping for another supplier other than Canada they are going to have to pay world oil price and Gasoline could go up even more! Currently a lot of the US refineries that make gasoline are setup specifically to refine this Alberta Oil Sands product. (Heavy Oi) In the town I live in in Alberta TWO oil trains a day go though my City on their way to the US. Hundreds of rail cars per day. This is because Joe Biden stopped the construction of the Keystone pipeline when he came to power. So this heavy oil is mostly shipped by rail car to refineries in the central plains states instead of by pipeline. Some is still shipped by smaller pipelines to the eastern US. Once the oil hits the US locomotives transfer the rail cars to points south but most go to Tulsa Oklahoma or the gulf coast. Pres Trump is also tariffing a number of products from Canada. Will have to watch next week to see what he does. But expect anything that is sold in the US that is imported from Canada to go up in price by 25%. Basically a tax on Americans because Canada shippers are not going to eat these price increases. That is the way tariffs work. And it is not just Canada, Mexican products also getting 25% increase, as well as other countries from all over the world. Mr. Trump is saying 60% tariff on Chinese products. Better hold our breath! Things could be getting way more expensive.

The Love and admiration for what you have done for all of us can not be stated in words!

As True Blue said, Old Age sneaks up on you. Boy does it ever. I am 68, retired at 57 or I might have done something dangerous to the HR Dept. Have never regretted early retirement and kept busy for several summers mowing roadside ditches for local county. Now for the last 5 years I have ran a combine harvesting in the fall. I just love it and getting back to my roots in agriculture. I don't consider myself real old for sure but I can sure see it over the knoll I am standing on. lol Yesterday I helped an old fellow in Home Depot look for something he couldn't find. Together we found what he was looking for. Kind of made me feel good that I just spontaneously helped him. Hope someone is there to help me when I am older!

I went with another Colorado ZR2. Decided to stay Chevy, just not a GMC guy! Not as many options but I just love the look and the stance! Pick it up next week! Thanks for your input.

Glad I saw this post, among others on the net. My wife and I were about ready to trade her 2021 zr2 Colorado on a 24 Canyon AT4. Think we are going to hold off until 2025's. one thing i hate doing with a new vehicle is becoming friends on a first name basis with a service person. We will be going to get our deposit back!

Not a good comparison. But the 4 cylinder is holding me back of going from a v6. IMO you would be very disappointed, especially going from a 6.6 Duramax to a 4 cylinder!

Well if Mary and team screw up this next version of the Silverado/ Sierra truck as bad as they have screwed up the introduction, startup and sales of the new Colorado/Canyon, then this may spell Mary's demise! I grew up in a time when companies listed to the customer, now GM seem intent on ramming electric down our throats. And giving us versions of trucks especially that real truck folks are not completely happy with.

This generation just doesn't get it! They can tell you everything about video games but nothing about anything that matters! My wife and I never had kids but I have lots of nephews that are 40years old and have to ask there mom and dad every move. God help us!

Introduction number 3? Wasn't it about 3 Super Bowls back that it was also introduced. I will believe it when I see it! I have been looking for a new Colorado zr2 or a Canyon at4. It is just about time for the 25's to be showing up and you can't find a 24. Miss management or what!

GM seems to be making a lot of mistakes lately. That could be said though for the whole auto industry. Don't know about US but here in western Canada the city car lots are full of unsold trucks. I mean rows and rows of them. Most truck enthusiasts i talk to are simply unwilling to pay $100,000 Canadian for a pick-up truck. Driving by Ram and Ford lots the same thing is happening. I have to wonder how they will ever sell them.

Yesterday I was at a GM dealer in Calgary Alberta. Mechanic was driving around the lot in a new Cadillac Escalade test driving it I guess. It was ticking really bad as well. Glad it was not my $150,000 vehicle. I am really starting to have a lack of confidence in General Motors!

That's Great! Trying to find a New Canyon or Colorado here in southern Alberta is almost impossible. Finding a Sasquatch might be easier! lol

GM needs to just say for release dates and availability, "YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS OURS"

https://jalopnik.com/unsold-chinese-evs-are-piling-up-at-ports-1851415290 Typical communist ideal. Make everyone generic robots with no free thinkers. North America is not far behind! This is one of the reason I will never buy into the electric car culture. I hope Tesla goes broke!

Good question, but the girl had no idea were Great Falls Montana was. Told her the mile marker I was beside and she sounded totally confused! Luckily a guy stopped and helped me and all was good.

Great Phil, that is what i tell everyone. Don't get married to one dealer. You are buying the truck, not them! In your case it doesn't sound like they were helping you out so move on and get what you want!

GM is a shadow of its former self.

Am thinking of updating my 2021 Colarado ZR2 for a new one but, GM is not exuding a great amount of confidence in me on the new Colorado / Canyon. Out for the second year and they are still not shipping. Hold backs for quality issues and parts not being available. Come on GM, get your shet together!
