Anyone noticed the all star edition is now almost 1k more expensive?

 

Gotta get that $750 "discount" back somehow... plus another $250 for the extra paperwork and advertising.

I'm sick of these GM dealers. They all say the same thing "we can't sell under supplier pricing". I'm thinking some of these posted prices are played with by other users to make it look better on them. But if even half were true there are still some decent deals. I'm in southeast Florida and this is what I keep hearing.

Same here in Mississippi

12 local dealer from 100 miles around give me a deal for $7900 off on SLE $4700 off on SLT

If someone give me $9000 off from MSRP on 4WD SLE or SLT I'll sign in heartbeat.

Need to save some$$$$ for 6"lift and 35'tires if you know what Iam looking for.

Cause I won't spend $6K on work truck to lift lol

The trick is to trade in a vehicle and get them to pull out the Hold Back cash and put it towards your trade so that you end up rolling over less or putting more down. They are right when they say the "supplier" pricing is set in stone, and that's fine so you have them put more on a trade from the hold back cash so you get more than book value on it.

 

That is how I work all of my deals, I purchased 3 new GM vehicles in the last 2yrs, I always get a great deal because I get them to pull out the Hold back cash and put it on my trade.

 

For example on my 2014 Silverado 4x4 crew cab, all star, MSRP 44k + tax/title/doc/etc.

 

Traded in my 07 Silverado LTZ Vortec Max, 120k mi. The book was $13,500 trade-in, I owed 15k on my loan.

 

After finalizing the numbers on the 2014, GM supplier set pricing and rebates, I then made the dealer pull out the Hold Back cash and put a bunch into my trade. They give me $17200 for my trade, that gave me $2200 down on my new truck.

 

my OTD price, everything included was $36,380.

I thought holdback was only 3% of msrp roughly. That'd be around $1300

The holdback is to cover 90 of interest of a new truck if it was sitting on the lot not being sold. I got it all in mine, with my $10k off my new denali I ordered. It's not going to sit on the lot and it's an easy give back to me and completely upfront.

How did you negotiate getting it? They just offered?

Just told them I want the holdback part of my deal, they matched a deal I got from Laura gmc in St. Louis. I know the guys at the dealer and said matchit and they did and took another $500 off as well as another $250 from a side leveling/tire upgrade I had asked for when I pick it up. Got spray liner thrown in to finalize as well. I meant to put 90 days not just 90 above. Every car has the holdback, again if it doesn't sit for an extended period ask them and say your getting it at dealership A and beat it.

Are located near St. Louis? Laura GMC does seem to be the cheapest to get a quote from but wonder what a dealer close to me in S FL would say about them being so far away. So holdback is 3% of MSRP?

If you're not getting the Hold Back cash on your purchase then you're NOT getting a good deal. Take them for everything you can, they make enough money on selling these trucks and cars.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
