What is the spreadsheet everybody is speaking of?  I might need to go through this process again soon.  I have a a '19 RAM 1500 that's been nothing but trouble and I filed for Lemon Law yesterday.  It will likely be a few months before anything is resolved, but if / when I need to purchase a new truck, it will likely be a '19 Sierra (maybe a '20) and I want to make sure I have all my information straight before I walk into a dealership.  Thanks in advance!

Got a 2020 LT trail boss this weekend MSRP 55,105 Discounted to 44,147 Was out the door for 49k (no trade in so tax was high) This is my first modern Chevy. I had a 68 Chevelle that I restored

Of course.  A year-old truck is worth less, you should expect to pay less.  Resale value is definitely lower.  Even if you're buying it "new", as soon as you drive it off the lot it's a year older tha

Thanks, I want the truck but can live without it, especially since my kid doesn’t technically get my car for another 5 months.
 
I’d like for them to swap the steps on it to the off road ones at that price but I’m probably being greedy at this point.
 
 



Still haven’t heard back from the guy about coming down to sign paperwork on Friday. It’s a 4 hour drive to get it and I figured he’d be foaming at the mouth when i basically said get to this number and we’ll drive 4 hours to pick it. He couldn’t get an easier sale.

The wife says I’m too impatient, she’s probably right.

Following your journey as I am on a similar path.  AT4 loaded, MSRP at $66k, they had it listed on their site for $56k  (with all the stacked incentives that no one qualifies for) for "Truck Month".  I was trying to work a similar deal as you but got NOWHERE.  I was willing to go up some just because I did like the truck so much.  Nope, nothing doing.  I have since expanded my search out multiple states...

I’ve done the same. I’m in SW missouri, I’m look at this truck in Arkansas, one In Oklahoma City and now several in Texas.

I even went as far as talking to a dealer I worked with on another truck and told them I’d buy from them if they’d get close to see if they’d be willing to get the truck and nothing from them either.

It just seems the color/option combination I want is rare, not sure why.

Yeah, that’s the trick, when I started asking about the colour combo I wanted and options, only three popped up in North America at the time. Thankfully the dealer was driven to give a fair deal.

No doubt. I’m wanting an AT4 loaded up and none of the incentives seem to apply to it.

Is it realistic to think I can get a '19 model w/ the 6.2 for $40k?  I dont care what trim at this point I just want the 6.2 w/ Z71 package.

I've been looking at trucks with the 6.2L for about two months and can say it's going to be super difficult to find that anywhere for that price. The only 2019 trucks that have the 6.2 are the LTZ/High Country on the Chevy side and the SLT/AT4/Denali. Closest bet will be looking into an SLT. They're going for around $45k with a 6.2, maybe a touch cheaper. Like others have said, the incentives are trash this month.

Yea that has been what I was finding, I am thinking I may need to hold off another year until the lower level 2020 trim models with the 6.2 have been on lots a bit, just hate to drop $40+k and regret it a year or so later.

It would probably be a lot less than a year.  We should see 2020 models in just a few more months.

Not realistic. 


As others noted, the lowest trim level on the Silverado you can get a 6.2L is the LTZ. You'll never see the for $40K new. 

 

The SLT is also very unlikely. Adding the Z71 package almost certainly guarantees you won't find one for $40K.

I'd say SLT is below LTZ. My LTZ had some optionsnot  available on the SLT, like tech (HUD, cameras). Not sure if that makes one or the other "higher" but seems most SLTs are cheaper than LTZs. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
