$61,980 …..  and that is not even a High Country....  :uhoh:

What did you expect with an all new truck with features that the previous model doesn't offer?

 

Speaking of High Country.....

Can’t wait to see an HC on a lot so I can check it out. Should be seeing them soon

These truck prices are getting insane! I’ll wait until 20% off is available. Got my 2015 CCSB LT for 34k. Would love to see some LT prices around there for this new model.

I guess my question is, when are we going to be able to build these on the website? Louisville chevy dude already has 5 on his lot.

Went to cars.com and there are many 2019's listed on dealer lots, but not sure if they are actually on lots or in transit etc?

6 Chevy dealers around here and I have yet to see a 2019 1500 on the lot physically.

There are some on the ground now.  Mostly in areas closest to the plant in Ft. Wayne.

Ridiculous! Prices go up, while they cut more corners. Amazes me they continue to sell!  It's not just them, although they're the worst of them all as far as pricing goes.

 

My truck fully loaded in '07 was $30 LARGE. Are the new trucks worth DOUBLE mine? HELL NO. I can buy alot of fuel (and failed modules or hard parts) for $30 LARGE!

 

So, you drop $60k ... now you get a HUGE tax bill on that in one form or another (in MA, you get TWO - one at the time of sale, and another annually [called an excise tax] for the rest of the vehicle's life - 1st 4 years are the highest bills), and your insurance goes WAY up, since now the insurance company would have to cough all that money up should something happen. Now, once the warranty is up, which will be in 2 years these days with the miles people put on them, you get to pay for all the cheaply engineered parts built in 3rd world countries that WILL fail one after the other. Every year it's something new that pattern-fails these days. With the K2's, it's injectors (and probably alot more that we won't hear about for a few more years). 

 

And when the 10-speed tranny takes a dump around 90k miles (because it is "unserviceable" - "lubed for life!" :lol: ) wait until you get the estimate for THAT rebuild!  The cheapout continues. There's a reason the axles are lighter than last year's models. Once you get past the shiny metal, comfy ride, and wonderful smells of the new components, things aren't as pretty all of sudden.

 

Will never buy new again as long as I live. There is ZERO bang for your buck. The crappy part is, most people will not realize this until they've owned the vehicle longer than 5 years.

Ok so this man will not be getting a new one ?

I wouldn't take one if GM donated one to me (I've got a better chance of getting hit by lightning 3 times, and winning the lottery 3 times that same day). The warranty headaches I had in '07 are still fresh in my mind.

Your truck was definitely NOT an LTZ (fully loaded) at 30k. My 05 LT ( comparable to an LTZ) was about 42k, my 08 LTZ vortec max was 45k so the trucks have been expensive for a while. Fully loaded hasn’t been 30k since the 90s. Hell, even my ‘13 LT was 45k sticker.

I past a transporter yesterday full of 2019 silverados that was leaving the Chevy dealer by me.  I am guessing Martin Chevy in Crystal Lake has their 1st 2019 Silverado on the lot already.

    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem? 
    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
