The official ordering, production & delivery thread - 2019 Silverado / Sierra

[Yooper25]

Beyond frustrated.... ordered 19 Chev Silverado Custom Trail Boss 13 weeks ago.  I've had to reach out to the dealership multiple times, finally was told that it is out of production and bayed in Fort Wayne as of 5/14/19.  It has been assigned a VIN. Any feel for delivery time frame, northern Wisconsin?  The whole thing seems ridiculous, considering was given a 6 week time frame in late February. Looking for a sanity check.

Sorry to hear bro. Mine was ordered in late April. Given a build date of June 17th. And my dealer said it’s usually a two week delivery time after that to NY. So hopefully you are in the early to mid June ballpark.

Hopefully you will have better luck. I heard a couple different things about production delays early on - involving the 5.3 engines. I think that's been resolved.  Tempted to take an Indiana run to rescue it!

Might not be a bad idea. Gotta get those break in miles done anyway. Lol

FINALLY got my VIN today! 2-4 weeks for shipping, dealer prep and it should be mine! Bought the Pacific Blue AT4 C/C with the 6.2... I’m a happy camper today but a thousand times more anxious!

It sounds like GM is focusing more on crew cab now, and manufacture them in Fort Wayne plan here in the US. It looks like double and regular cabs are manufacturing with less interest from GM. That should be one of the reasons that the lead time is getting longer for double and regular cabs. These two (2) links explain more in details:

Any idea how much longer the 2019s will be in production? I heard they will start taking 2020 orders soon. I placed an order for a 5.3 AT4 in late April and with the constraint on production, I am worried we are going to miss out and have to start the process all over. Was really hoping to be able to enjoy the truck for the summer.

2020 production starts in August

Does anyone know when the AT4 Carbon Pro edition will be available? Right now my plan is to buy a new truck around mid-late August but am considering waiting for the Carbon Pro edition. If this has been talked about before in this thread I apologize but I did not want to scroll through 50 pages to find it. Thanks for the help and congrats to all the new owners!

I believe the Carbon Pro edition starts this summer but I can’t confirm.

It could be at the dealership getting a PDI. But your XM sub shouldn’t begin until you get the keys IMHO....

Just got back from my dealer. Sat down with the Ordering manager and learned some things.

1) Chevy is still pushing dealers to order 2019 trucks up until the first week in August (8/5) when 2019 Production stops.

2) 2020 production of Silverado’s starts the following week. As of Right now, he is unable to place 2020’s orders. And doesn’t have info yet one when ordering will open up (he figures mid July).

3) On the build program for Chevy on 2020’s, the 5.3 / 10Speed is listed as well as the 6.2 / 10 Speed, though the 6.2 Option for the RST / LT Trailboss is blacked out and not available to select.

He has a meeting with the regional rep tomorrow morning, and told me he would specifically ask for updates on when the LT TB with 6.2 will be available to order.

That said, they told me that the 2019 I ordered Is still mine if I want it, but once it arrives , or once ordering for the 2020 opens up, if I still want to go with a 6.2L 2020, they will gladly sell the 2019 and carry my deposit over to a 2020. Right now I’m 95% sure I’ll be holding out for a 6.2L / 10Speed LT Trailboss.

Hope this helps anyone in the same boat trying to decide which one to go with.
