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

Inventory seems to be really odd on a truck thats been on the market for 3-4 months. When I search autotrader for stock there are only (2) trail boss in 100 miles of me and I live in a major city. There are probably 10 - 20 dealerships in a 100 miles of me. I would have thought after a quarter of a year there would be more inventory.

 

Its no wonder people are only getting 7-8% off...I'm surprised they are getting that much with the limited availability. Either demand is really hot or they are trying to create demand with limited supply.

I think they are limiting supply.   I go to my local dealer about every 3 to 4 weeks to see what has changed and they have the same 2019's on the lot they have had for months.  I like in Phoenix, plenty of people available to buy and I don't think people are!   For example the same two red and black trail boss trucks have been there for MONTHS.  The one black one had 125 miles on it already and sits out front but no one is buying.    They are going to have to give better incentives soon if they hope to sell any volume.  

 

If I look at the GMC dealer, they still have so many 2018 trucks (tons of Denali) and very few of the 2019's I'm not sure what's going on with them.    Both of these dealerships are right off of the main freeway and easy to see etc, people just aren't buying from what I can see.   Until I see $9 - $10k off of sticker I'm not buying.

They are trickling them out slowly... I don't think they're even building ALL the configs yet..

And from what I read, the K2's are STILL in production and will be deep into 2019.

I think I saw my first T1 Sierra TV commercial just last night! Boasting about the new trick tail gate.

2019 AT4. Sticker was $64k something. Ended up getting around 8% off using a Costco discount. We are supposed to get back $700 from Costco, so I guess the discount ends up being closer to 9%. I also had a trade and they gave me $1k more than I could get from Texas Direct Auto. Not sure if that was really $1k more on the trade, or just numbers game. Either way, I was really only concerned about my price after tax/trade and they were where I needed them to be.

How many of the trucks that roll of the line each day are going to dealers' lots, vs how many are for pre-ordered builds? I really don't know. Maybe not many have reached dealer lots because they are just filling customer orders right now?

Interesting! I wonder if we've found the ceiling for what most people will pay for a truck...

How many plants are building these trucks for GMC \ Chevy?  if Ford is rolling a truck off of the line every 53 seconds, how long is it taking Chevy to fill orders?  I really doubt there are so many pre-orders at these prices they can't put more on the dealership floors.    

 

Something I have noticed in AZ, you can only find the most popular colors in stock which means black, white, red and one of the dark silver ones.    You NEVER see the blue, green, brown or other non standard colors.   I know people can order those colors but what's up with that?

Don't quote me on this, but from what I remember about the last generation- only 1 plant in Mexico produces the crew cabs, and 1 plant in Michigan builds the double cabs. It takes a couple weeks from the time a truck rolls off the line until it is sitting on a dealer lot. There are something like 3,000 GM dealerships. A lot of them still have 2018's on the lot they are trying to clear out. So give it a little time, you should see more 2019's arriving every week.

 

I get why they don't want a bunch of funky colors on the lot, if they sell 10 black and 10 white ones for every green, which would you want on your lot?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      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.
