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.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
