Giving up on trying to find my Sierra Unicorn (Sierra SLT with the 6.2

OUSux · June 19, 2016

Ive called all over the country trying to find a new or used 2016 SLT with the 6.2L engine. I had no idea finding this configuration was so difficult.

Why not order one exactly what you want?? Just curious is all. Right now you would get a 2017 instead of a 2016. I knew from the get go that I would never find what I wanted either so I bit the bullet and ordered it as I wanted it both times. It is a long wait and you might not get the best deals like you would on one that sat for a while on the lot but at least around here the 6.2's don't sit long at all so not many if any 6.2's get those special deals, (15% off for example).

I tried three times, it seems like when I mention just ordering one they never call me back, all they want to do is sell me something they have right now on the lot. Maybe ill try other dealerships.

I just called him after I seen your post. He found a 16 slt crew it was pearl 4x4 and he found a other ones.. I just did a quick call... I don't know him. I just Google a gmc dealership near me and made a phone call.

Wow really, either they are just being lazy or they do not have the allocation to order a 6.2 and they just don't want you to know. My bet is on the allocation as it would be crazy to me that they would turn down a sale. But good luck, if you can't get the one you found above then yes a trip to another dealership is in order. Maybe try Laura GMC??

Yea, i called Laura yesterday, no dice. Called 2 dealerships in Oregon, 2 in Washington, 1 in Utah, 2 in Colorado, 1 in Kansas, 1 in Missouri, Laura in Illinois, 3 in Oklahoma in addition to the 7 dealerships I've contacted in Texas. May start calling the east coast tomorrow.

AaronIROCZ · June 19, 2016

Yeah I just looked at Laura's website, they used to have 15 to 20 6.2's in stock, now they only have 3 and 2 of them are in transit. Glad I got my 6.2 ordered when I did, it only took 8 weeks and no problems getting mine as there was no constraints at that time. Now it looks like 3-6 months from other peoples experiences on here, due to the constraints, GM better get there crap together with the 6.2's.

What is the deal with the 6.2s right now? what happened?

No need to, they sell'em like hot cakes.

AaronIROCZ · June 19, 2016

I am not sure of the exact reason but I believe very high demand and not enough supply. According to the 6.2L off constraint thread there are people waiting since 1-20 for their truck.

I had the same trouble finding a similar truck in April. I wound up stepping up to a Denali as they had greater availability of the 6.2 at the time. I still had to wait a few weeks for a dealer to get one in stock and managed to get 15% off on it when I finally took delivery in mid-May

Good luck OP and I hope you find what you are looking for!
