About to go order my truck tomorrow. This is my first time ordering a GM product, so trying to figure out how aggressive I can expect to be with my negotiations (my last 2 orders were with Mercedes, and I went in super aggressive on those deals). I'm not really tied to any one dealer, but have been working with one so far that seems decent.

2019 RST Double Cab, 4x4, 2.7L
Leather Package
All Star Package
Convenience Package W/Bucket Seats
Convenience II Package
Safety Package
Bed Protection Package
Advanced Trailering Package
22" 5-spoke Dark Silver aluminum wheels with Chrome inserts
Polished Exhaust Tip
All Weather Floor Liners
 
MSRP is $53,665
-$500 for All Star
-$2,000 Cash Allowances
Net Price $51,165 after r ebates
 
The dealer I am working with has offered $50,500 minus any rebates. Based on what I have read, I think there is room to negotiate for more - but I am not sure how much more, given that I am ordering. Thoughts?
2.7L? Do you that will hold it's value long term vs the 5.3?

We will see. It’s a risk I’m willing to take - I won’t own a gas V8 or V6. Plus it pulls like a freight train around town.

The tech behind that motor is pretty neat. If they offered it with the Z71 I would consider it. Good luck, let us know how it goes

Bought my RST double cab last Friday.  Sticker was $51,500.  I paid $41,500 for the truck, $43,000 out the door.  Dealer came off $3500 and had $3500 in rebates.  The biggie was an additional $3000 off from the GM card.  One of the rebates required GM financing and the best rate was 7.4%, nasty, with a 858 credit score.  I am preapproved with my credit union for 3.49% and will refi once the 3 months are up.  Its my local dealer and certainly don't want to screw them on that rebate.  The F&I guy even told me to take my 4th loan statement to the credit union and refi when the statement comes in.

 

I am happy with the deal and the truck.  

 

 

I just put a deposit in an rst z71 crew. Msrp was 51k and they went down to 43k. NY sucks but I’m happy with the price. They wanted the same for a 2018 z71 at two other dealerships. So I don’t think I killed it with my deal but I was able to get a 2019 for the same price. I’m in the same boat with financing. Going through gm and then refinancing in three months. Sign my paperwork on Monday

I just signed a deal for my RST for 48k before rebates a few min ago. I probably could have went elsewhere and ran the numbers but am satisfied. 6-8 weeks and my new truck should be here.

Mine stickered for 64,095.  6.2L, AT4 premium pkg, 18" with duratracs, sunroof, technology package, driver alert pkg II.

I paid $54,000.

What dealership?  I would buy one on Monday if I could get $10k off the sticker.  Did you use the GM loyalty rebate?  Any other rebates?

Everett Buick GMC, Bryant Arkansas.   I did GM financing (will refinance with credit union at 4 months), took gm rebate coupled with dealer discount.   I see they have what looks like 29 more AT4's, most all 9700+ off sticker.    I got a few more hundred off due to a blunder the dealer was trying to making right with me.

Time to update my signature! Finally found pricing that worked for me.  Last day of February I scored my AT4 with everything I wanted (White, Crew Cab, 6.2L, AT4 Premium, Sunroof, Duratrac's, and Technology Package).  It also had the "Off-Road Performance Package" which with the other stuff it already had adds an intake and exhaust.  Wasn't on my "needs" list but I guess it's a nice bonus, just added a little cost.

MSRP was $65,850.

Sale Price $59,580

MFR. Rebate $4,500

Net cost before B.S. - $55,080 (16.35% off)

They then got me for $600 delivery from Utah to Cali, $494 for garbage protection package (they would not waive it), $399 doc fee, plus tax and licensing of course.  The best rate they could get me was 5.39% even with an 806 score.  There is verbiage stating I can't pay it off for 6 months.  Frontwave credit union can get me 3.49%.  I'll go that route ASAP!

All in all, I feel pretty good about it, despite the protection package and high interest rate.  Prices seemed to have ticked back up March 1.

WOW, my credit rating hasn’t been that high in decades. ;). Anyhoo bank gave me the 2.99% can be paid/transferred any time. No money down. All the rest as posted before. So some good deals. Two other fellas got similar vehicle to me in this end of town but didn’t do so well negotiating. ;)

I noticed that too. I've also seen quite a few more T1s on the road in the last couple days than I did in the first couple of months after they came out. They must have had a good February. :D

Has anyone had the dealer come after them for not keeping a loan through GM for a certain amount of time before you pay it off?  Mine told me I had to keep it for 4 months or they could come after me for the additional $1500 rebate they game me.    I don't think they can legally FORCE you into a loan.  They were not able to provide ANY documentation and even the first bill i got said nothing about it.    Blowing smoke?

I just did this with my 2018...I purchased with GM financial back in June to get the extra rebate off and paid it off after 1 month.  I even called GMF to confirm I can pay it off early without penalty.

 

I believe the dealer gets a spiff if you keep your loan for 3 months.  If they would be up front and honest with me, I might have kept it...but since they lied to me I just went ahead and paid it off and didn't care.  The dealer never came back after me to pay back a rebate.

    • 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
