Help!! Bought a truck tonight!

TerryD · January 30, 2019

You would think I’d be pleased as punch. It is a ‘19, Sierra 1500 with tow pkg, 6.2L, and a couple of option pkg’s.

Long story short, when I got home it didn’t fit in the garage. Suppose to be a short bed per the VIN, but it’s a standard bed. My bad, I should have looked closer but it was getting dark. I don’t want a truck that can’t fit in the garage.

I plan to call the dealership in the morning and see if they will work with me to return it. A Google search suggests the 3 day cooling off period doesn’t really exist, but that most dealerships will honor at least a 24 hour return policy.

Does anyone know what my options are?

You're probably screwed but you best be on the phone with them at 8am tomorrow to have ANY chance.

Something does not sound right. Does the VIN on the truck match your paperwork? Stupid question, did you measure the inside of the bed, if so, how long?

TerryD · January 30, 2019

I am serious. I compared the last 6 digits of the truck VIN to the paperwork and they match. Also, the bed measures 6’ 6” on the inside of the bed.

I suppose worse case case is I trade again in a year or so, but hate the idea of it being out in this Midwest winter cold.

I have emailed the salesman this morning and will call when the dealership opens.

so are you saying the truck was built wrong? or you made a mistake? Im guessing it's a crew cab?

Back in a Bowtie · January 30, 2019

i also can't find a combination on GMC.com that allows a 6.2l with the snow plow prep pkg.

TerryD · January 30, 2019

Yes, it’s a crew cab.

The dealer website lists it is a standard box, but the GM VIN checker website states it is a short bed. When I spoke with sales over the phone yesterday I asked about the silver Shortbed.

i didn’t catch that it was a standard bed until I tried to put it in the garage at 11:00 last night.

I couldn't read the window sticker through the tinted glass last night, but did find it in the glove box this morning. I’ll have to see what it says later today.

Window sticker doesn’t mention it was a CCSB. My bad.

No snow plow prep pkg.

this is one has SLT Premium, Max Trailering, SLT Preferred, and Driver Alert I packages.

LOL I would just but a bump out addition on my garage if the truck didn't fit ha ha..

TerryD · January 30, 2019

Lol. I’ve already considered that.

Back in a Bowtie · January 30, 2019

im sorry idk why i read snow plow in the OP.

Nick The Great · January 30, 2019

I won't jump your crap for not measuring/checking the truck length in hte first place. That's been done enough.

I feel like my dealer had some sort of 24 hour or 5 day period for things like this.

I would think most dealers would be a little understanding, especially if you're talking about getting another vehicle from them. It's not like you're wanting to return this and just walk away.

mikedeezxxx · January 30, 2019

I never knew a crew cab came with a 6’ 6” bed. I have never seen one before

Dealer says he wants my repeat business and is willing to take it back. No other silver’s on the lot so I have to choose between black, red, or white.

Ive had several black trucks and Jeeps so I know what I’m in for.

Wasn’t there an issue with black fenders or hoods a bit ago? Paint runs or something like that.

Found it on the forum. Yes there is an issue with black driver’s side hood and fenders having paint flaws. No other colors seem to be affected.
