Zane,

 

Off topic here, but how is the Foliage now up in your area now?

My wife and I took a trip up to Portland Maine a couple of years ago in late Sept./first week of October.

We took the scenic leaf peeping tour over to Conway NH and up through White Mt. National forest.

Saw the Diana's Bath waterfalls, then went up to Mt. Washington.

Beautiful area up there especially in early October.

Definitely plan on going back up there again someday. 

Things are just starting to turn here. They expect the color to be pretty vibrant this year based on the recent weather. When the colors pop it's absolutely amazing. I love it up here. Hope you can visit again!

How long does it typically take for the truck to be on the shipped from the time it's built?  one week? 

(Zane -  I know your truck was held up for QC issues and not typical ) 

Everyone I talk to claims they hate to hold on to trucks at the factory after they are built. With 1,000 new vehicles coming off the line, you think they would have to move product out quick or risk a large inventory on site. I think a couple of days are the norm, but can go sooner or later depending on the destination.

I thought I saw this info once, but can't find it. Anyway.. for you guys that have received new 2019 orders -  how long did delivery take after the truck was build?

GMC- Thanks so much for posting this up... I had the exact same question but I screwed up & posted it in the performance section somehow

 

 

Looking forward to some feedback, thank you Zane & Doug for yalls share.

A safe bet is one month to transport after build. May be less but usually not more.

My Sierra just arrived today in Texas.  It was invoiced and received a VIN on 09/10/18 so it only took 2 and a half weeks.  The dealer did claim they put a rush on it?

Build Date of my LT Trail Boss was 03/21/2021, it arrived at my dealer (in Western NY) on 04/09/2021.  So 19 days from factory to dealer.

It has been 13 weeks since dealer placed my order for a 2500 4X4 Sierra with still no target production date.

Don't know if it because of the  chip shortage or since I ordered an odd ball truck.. Ordered a stripped down truck.

Only options was the aluminum wheels, cruise control and clearance lights

Do you know if the order was accepted by GM?  Current status code?

 

Salesman are inherent bs'rs so anything that they tell you you have have to take with skepticism.

1100 and Dealer Allocation

This causes a lot of issues. When you place an order with a dealer, the status is 1100. UNTIL Chevrolet ACCEPTS the order, it just sits there at 1100. You don't have an order with GM at this point. You only have a dealer requesting an allocation for a slot in the production schedule. Dealer Allocation is simple to understand - GM changed its model for producing vehicles a few years' back. Dealers are now awarded allocation based on past performance, as well as other factors. If you are sitting at 1100 you are not in line yet for production. Your dealer MUST get GM to accept the order. When GM accepts the order, all the parts are available and will be allocated to your car build.

First, many dealers do not understand the allocation process.

Second, dealers are told at the beginning of every model year the number of units they are expected to order. This is their Guide Number, so called because it is intended to help a dealer "floor plan."

Third, many dealers confuse Guide Number with Allocation.

Fourth, dealers are told every other Thursday how many Allocations (a portion of the Guide Number) they can use over the following two weeks AND this number of orders will be divided over two weeks.

To summarize, say the dealer is given 50 units as a Guide, which means about 1 unit every weekly ordering process from 2 units awarded in the every other week ordering process. If the dealer sells a dozen trucks every year, change the 50 to 12 and reduce the bi-weekly consensus to conform. By the way, this awkward system meets laws and demands of court decisions.

When will my car/truck ship?

You have better chances of picking winning lottery numbers than to know for sure when your vehicle will ship. When you combine the QC issues with geographical delivery of vehicles (at the lowest possible cost so they need to aggregate deliveries - and they don't not use a first in first out methodology), this can be the most frustrating part of the whole SRE journey. There is no transparency to actual data. There is just generic codes and sometimes the whisper from "someone in the know". Your vehicle may ship quickly, it may not. It will likely take longer the more rural you are and the lower the volume of cars your dealer sells.

The GMC chat says the order has been submitted by dealer, but has not officially been accepted by GM at this time...

I placed my order on 2/8/21 and was told at that time it would be about 10-12 weeks... since order has not been accepted by GM does this mean another 10-12 week wait??

Ordering right now seems like a fart in the wind....

Can't even complete the trucks they need to sit on lots much less a special ordered vehicle......would think you'll be waiting forever

[Jim E]

Most likely, something in your order is on constraint (ie: not available).  

 

My order was accepted December 23rd .  When my salesman checked the status on Feb. 1st, it was found that it was being held because it included running boards which were on constraint.  He resubmitted the order the same day and I picked it up on March 1st.

 

I'd say that if you don't get your order in the normal 6-8 weeks, then there is a reason and none of the "normal" scenarios or time frames will apply.  Your salesman should be able to find out why it hasn't been built.

It could me it never will be picked up if the dealer is asking for more trucks then they are allocated.  Its not unusual for dealers to have 50 on order but only 2 allocations a month which means never.  GM does not care if the vehicle is a sold order, dealers has to have the allocation or its never going to be built.
