I live in Central Ohio and had to drive North of Detroit to get mine. I called every dealer east of the Mississppi looking for a Black on Black with every option and the max towing package. They were the only dealer to have one. I am lucky I got a supplier discount so I did not have to negotiate for it

I purchased mine from Madision Ohio. I live in Northern VA. The seling dealer shipped it down to me when I purchased it. Funny, sounds like we have the exact same trucks. Mine also has the NHT with every option available. MSRP was just a tad over 52K. Was discounted to 40K as a model year left over. Mine is Granite black on black.

 

There was not much to pick from around here when I was shopping. I couldn't even get my local Chevy dealer to order one for me :nonod:

Funny story. I wen to the dealer where I bought my truck, my mom bought her Envoy and my dad bought his new Sierra, just poking around. I was talking to the salesman we all dealt with and I mentioned this 6.2 dilemma. It just so happens last March he ordered a extended cab 6.2. He trades his trucks every two years and said he will give me a call when he orders his '14 and we can make a deal. I won't be forgetting that, and I guess I have a year to save my pennies!

I live in Ma. and my dealer only had a 6.2 in the LTZ trim and $50k so they had to get one from another dealer about 200 miles away with the options I wanted. I also agree that trade in value wont be to much more than a 5.3 but I think private party sales they would get alot more especially if there are problems with the new gens afm.

I think the opposite is true for most folks. The common question I hear is "what kind of mpg does it get". I don't think I've ever been asked "how fast is it" in real life, by adult men. I personally would pay a little more for one, but I'm in the large minority to even know the difference between the options. I wouldn't know much at all if I didn't visit this site!

I live in Northeast Arkansas which is serious farm country so that might explain why there are so many in my area. In a recent dealer search I came up with about 10 brand new 6.2s within about an hour drive. SLE/LT as well as SLT/LTZ and with both rear end options.

Wow. That's impressive. If that was the case where I live, I'd have a 6.2 for sure.

I just ordered my 2013 through one dealer, who got it from another about 50 miles away. There are a few around here, in Western Canada, for sale. But finding the right one is tricky. I was picky.

 

They are delivering it to me at work (I'm in the oil patch) on Tuesday, and taking my Vmax as a trade.

Around here they can be found easily on GMC lots......Not many at all on Chevy lots, maybe 2 or 3, they usually have to order them.

Same here... No Chevy 6.2 in sight, they were all GMC

I live in Ontario and a dealer (Vickars) in Winnipeg found one in Saskatchewan. They are like hens teeth around here.

That's cause that fancy Canadian gas costs so much more than the American stuff.

 

 

 

Nevermind that the gas in my tank now likely was made from oil recovered in Alberta. :lol:

So I gotta know... I am always looking at the dealer inventory, never know when the new truck bug might bite. I would only trade my truck for a 6.2. I have never ever seen one fore sale in M.A. or C.T. So I gotta know, where the heck do all you 6.2 drivers live that they seem so plentiful. Its just weird that there are none around here

Yes, I know this thread is old but have been currently looking for the last year.  Someone currently on the hunt might benefit from what I've learned.

 

Most of the NHTs I find are in and around the Rocky Mountains and have also found one of those Houston ones and another in Kansas. 

 

Most are Crew Cabs, Extended Cab NHTs are more rare then hens teeth.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
