It just amazes me how this Covid thing has completely screwed them up. GM is a shadow of it's former self! 
Seems like all car manufacturers fall under that statement with the way things are now

I attached what my dealer forwarded me for my 2021, pricing isn't available yet. I'm wondering how some of these packages are going to break down. I guess they pieced that based off the 2020 I submitted for order on 6/12

Spoke to my dealer today. Chevy is currently telling them that it takes between 3-4 weeks of transit for the vehicle to get to the Baltimore Port from Mexico once it is loaded on the ship.. Then add at least another week or two on top of that once it reaches the Baltimore Port to get to the dealership.

 

So far my timeline has been:

 

6/22 - Order placed with Chevy

7/28 - Notified that the truck was built - supplied with VIN

8/4 - Truck released from Salio, MX plant in route to Tuxpan, MX port

8/13 - Truck shipped from Tuxpan, MX in route to Baltimore, MD port

8/25 - Truck still in transit to Baltimore, MD (ETA 3-4 weeks from shipping date)

No ETA to dealership

 

Hope this helps put into perspective wait times for those with trucks ordered and inbound.

You'll see it in September, imo. My truck was in Baltimore the first week of July, but didn't arrive at my dealership in Chesapeake, VA until July 28th. It was almost a full 4 weeks.

Just received a text that my truck has arrived in Baltimore! Wasn't expecting an update so soon. Hopefully it doesn't sit there for weeks collecting rain. 

 

The dealer did say they have the truck marked as "HOT"... Hopefully that matters for something.

The next step is to have a car transport assigned to it. That could take a few weeks. Then, once it is assigned out could take another week or 2 before it gets delivered. Just going of my experience last month. Hopefully yours is better.

Hey guys.  Congrats on the new trucks.  I put a deposit on a '20 AT4 diesel yesterday that the dealer said would be on the lot in less than a week.  I was relieved because I need the truck by 9th as I'm leaving town for a couple months.

 

I had GMC customer care send me the build sheet and was bummed to see that the build date is 8-19-20.

 

Am I correct to assume that this truck won't arrive to my dealer in St. Joseph, Missouri until the end of September at the earliest?

 

I guess I'll get my deposit back and start looking for a 2021 in November.

Where is it being built? Mexico, you're definitely not getting it in time. Indiana, it depends.

Build sheet says "build plant G" which is Silao, Mexico.  I'm calling to get my deposit back tomorrow.  Found an AT4 diesel at a different dealer that is actually on the lot.  Premium color and has Sunroof and Carbon Pro so going to cost me a couple grand more if I decide to buy it.  Can't believe I am even considering paying this much for a 1/2 ton.

I just closed my eyes and relaxed while the dealer had its way with me and took my money like a prostitute. It hurt, but I got what I wanted.

Have you shopped at Laura gmc near St Louis?  Lots of inventory and good discounts.

Just received a text from the dealer that my truck was delivered this morning!!! Hoping to head there in the next couple days to finalize everything. Pics to come!

So I went to my local dealer about 3 weeks ago and Utica New York and told them that I wanted a Pacific blue metallic at4 with a 6.2. Just was unsure I will options that I wanted. Come to find out in 2021 they're swapping it Pacific blue metallic for cardinal red in the at4, so I had to hurry and find a 2020.

 

Come to find out the Pacific blue metallic paint with a 6.2 is hard to find. They are either sold or even delivered to dealers sold already. I ended up finding one out in Buffalo New York that was coming into a dealer. It was fully loaded. Got a better deal on a lease than a buy. Traded in my old 2007 ive owned since new. Looking forward to find ways to make this truck my own, of course with the lease limits lol. Picked it up last Saturday and and very impressed. This is coming from a truck that didn't have traction control or any kind of cameras LOL. Bunch to find out yet with it. This forum seems to be the spot thst has a lot of info. Going to do some reading.

 

Traded in truck on work tires of course:

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
