Wait time when ordering a new Sierra

[stormh2oguy]

Does anyone know how long the wait is when ordering a new 2014 Sierra Crew Cab 4x4 from order date to delivery?

 

Thanks

Depends on options (as always).

When I ordered mine here in Canada (not sure where you are from or if it would be different) on about November 15th or so, I was told 10 to 12 weeks.

I ordered a 6.2 Denali on November 6th. Still at event code 1100 Preliminary Order Accepted as of today. I'm guessing I won't get my truck until early February.

My order was picked up by GM on 15 Oct and according to the rep I contacted yesterday on the GM Chat Line it has cleared Quality Control and is sitting in the staging lot in Mexico awaiting shipment. Dealer estimated 8-12 weeks when I placed the order.

I was able to find mine with everything exactly as I was looking for, but when I asked my dealership told me 3 months

Depends on dealers too. Many dealers have been cut off of Silverados due to overstock. They must sell some 2014's before receiving additional 2014's. Make sure the dealer you buy from is still eligible to receive stock or your order will be held.

 

Any idea if this applies to orders placed as "Sold" too? I would think that orders placed as "Sold" would get priority over whatever lame discipline game GM is playing with the dealerships, but I am no expert by any means. It just doesn't make sense to me that a truck I will be picking up the day it hits the lot would have a delayed build because my dealer can't sell other trucks that have nothing to do with my order, but then almost nothing in this entire process that GM has done has made sense to me...

My local dealer told me 8-12 weeks as well and that 6.2's didn't exist yet and were not on the lots, with in 2 weeks found my 6.2 truck and 1 week later drove it home.

Or the high volume dealers need to start making deals that put the final price near invoice so customers will be more willing to buy instead of trying to get MSRP - rebates.

My dealer today said the 6.2 L is on constraint and I'm looking at a 4 week delay. I hope it's not because they have a big inventory already on the lot.

I would believe them on the 6.2 trucks. When I was dealing on my 6.2 there were only 5 in the entire 4 state area.

GM also wants each dealer to get there 'fair share' of desirable models/options.

Well I ordered mine back in September around the end of the month. I want to say 27th or 28th. As of today she's on her way home but still hasn't been delivered. The trucks coming to Northern California and is passed New Mexico already but I have no exact location right now.

I went to several dealerships. 18 inch rims and crappy colors on almost every lot. Why don't they just build ONLY the desirable ones then?

Sounds like a great idea! Soon as you let them know what everybody wants they can throw away the option list.
