The dealer didn't ask for a deposit. I offered it. As an aside, years ago I ordered an olds toronado with a deposit. Once it came in someone offered them over list price and they sold it out from under me. Gladly returning my deposit so the deposit isn't a guarantee either.

Every vehicle (except my 19) I put a “goodwill” deposit down. Usually $500. Not a big deal fully refundable. With my 19 didn’t need anything I even offered, probably because a year prior I bought a Camaro from them.

It depends on the dealership.  We purchased our last 5 vehicles from the dealership I got my 2019 and they still wanted a deposit.

I'm not questioning/ doubting you, rather asking out of my own ignorance, but if you don't give them a deposit, is there a risk of them selling your truck to someone else once it's built and delivered? 

When you fill out the build sheet, you sign it as well as the salesperson signing it. The nice thing is, if you don’t like it when you see it, you can tell them you don’t want it with no consequences. To answer your question, no, you have priority over anybody else. I would find the highest selling/best rated dealership in your area and use them. Hope this helps.

Just received word that my ordered RST is just days away from arriving at the dealership. Given that quarterly sales will be revealed at the end of the month, would it behoove me to wait to July to get better incentives? My dealer cuerently offers $1500 of their flex and bonus cash, plus gm allowances of 4700. Hoping incentives will be even better

Its a crap shoot, ask them if they will back date paperwork if the deal is worse in July. Dealers  will play that game on the day the next's months deals are out and give the better deal.

Just got word that I've been upped to a 2020. I had the premium package, technology package and max trailering on an LTZ crew. Would the newly available adaptive cruise and trailering view? be part of these or ordered seperately?  I'm curious to know if possible before I go to the dealer to review the new order.

I can’t answer your question but happy for you getting into a 2020. I know you were leaning towards it. Good luck at the dealership.

Placed my order on 4/16. Order was accepted on 4/26. Got the call from the dealership last Saturday 6/29 that my 19 LT Trailboss Arrived. Was undecided on taking the 2019 or waiting for a 2020, but they offered me a great lease deal on the 2019 so I pulled the trigger. Had the dealer install Assist Steps and a Hard Rolling Tonneau Cover, so I should be picking it up in the afternoon tomorrow.

Shipping from Mexico. Got on the gmc.com chat and found out my truck is at eagle pass coming out of Mexico. Disappointed not Ft Wayne plant since that is only 300 miles from me. Anyway anyone know the process and timing on a Mexico truck ? Again wished it was Ft Wayne

WOW! I thought the crew cabs were only being built in Fort Wayne. As far as shipping, everything I have seen is not very routine. Hopefully it arrives soon.

Ordered LT TB standard bed on 5/1. Been stuck in Milpitas, CA rail yard for the last week and some with no ETA.

Frustrating it's only ~15 miles from my house and I can't just go pick it up there :/

 

Also when I ordered I thought all standard beds were made in US (noticed all the ones online had 1 VINs) but mine is from Mexico...

And I thought I had a long wait... just got mine today (ordered 5/1) but it’s well worth the wait!

 

Make sure you check the paint before taking delivery - my hood got damaged during delivery and didn’t find out until I got home. I will have my Detailer fix it, not trusting the dealer to do a proper job.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
