Ordered a new 2014 crew cab, my chevy order tracking says its still in production, how ever when i chatted with a rep, after 15 mins they were able to find it. and him/her said that production was complete and it was waiting to be shipped?!
i dont know what to believe .. the rep or chevy.com .

my sales man ( cool guy ) is on vacation he said he'd check on it as soon as he got back.

 

anyone go through this before ?

Hello,

 

I understand how anxious you must be to drive your new vehicle. I am assuming when you stated that you talked with a rep, you were referring to a GM representative. Using your order number or VIN they can check real time updates on the status of your vehicle. If you would like me to double check the information, private message me the order number or VIN.

 

Safe travels,

Congrats!

 

What did you order? Trim, options etc

 

I will be placing an order when the 6.2 and 8 speed are avail. I hope you can get 6 passenger seating in SLT / 6.2. The brochure lists the 6.2 only avail in SLT trim and most SLT options end up removing the front split bench :-(

I seriously doubt you'll get an SLT truck with a front bench. That seat is useless anyhow. I just like the bench because the floor console always seems to make contact with my knee.

Yes the small seat sucks to sit in but it's nice to have an extra spot if needed (kid can fit in there no prob) i think the trucks look roomier with the bench anyway.

 

The bench is definitely avail in SLT, it has power controls both sides and heated for driver and pass. I just see a lot of options stating - when ordering 6.2 you must select this and that option.

If that middle spot is lap belt only still (I don't know that it is) there's no way I'd want to put a kid there. I'm with you on it seeming roomier. I'm planning on the next one being a regular cab anyhow- it seems the forward hinged doors for the ex. cab make the space less useful and the crew cab is still too small compared to Ford, not that I have any need for the crew anyhow.

You've ordered one without even test driving it?

Lol it appears he did. Nice truck still brotha!

Posted

yea, but I'll be sure to post pics the first day i get it!

Posted

I just hope that you won't be complaining about problems or characteristics a few months down the road of ownership. I think you should've test driven different configurations before proceeding with an order. But regardless, congrats!

blah im gona try and order one now hell with driving it first, its gonna drive way better than the gmt900s and I know i want a crew cab long bed ltz so why drive it?

 

The only concern I have with ordering it, is having problems with the early production run of these trucks.

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
