Yeah, ain’t going to see $15K off the T1s unless there’s a recession or gas gets close to $4/gal again. 

 

I agree with the comments about GM stripping some of the K2 standard features from the T1. Frustrating.

If you are waiting for at least 15k off and all the content to be restored, I feel it will be a long wait.   If anything more content would probably be options on the higher end models for more money.

The obvious solution for some folks...rather than complain in literally every other thread about missing power pedals...just buy a new 2018 while you still can.

 

You save the 15k and get all your missing content...and save the rest of us the trouble of reading the same list of “missing” features for the hundredth time.

Why buy a 2018 when my 2014 is identical? Count me out of the T1 generation, just another lost sale to GM. My 2014 Sierra is superior in every way to the T1.

You forgot to add that most everything has been worked out being the last year model too. I LOVE my 18!

100% agree, What would happen if we went back to the early vehicles where there were no power pedals, power windows, cruise control, electric locks, power seats, AC was a option, there were 2 speed transmissions sealed beam headlights bias tires were standard radial tires were a option and a AM radio, FM radio was a upgrade and the list goes on. People cry and complain about missing options that most of the time are never used or needed.

Rebates and dealer discount most I have ever seen in my area was around $13to $14k off the k2 in 16 when I bought mine. If you found the truck you love walk in the last weekend of the month and don't leave till you get the price you want.

I think anything around $10K off MSRP is a "good deal" and, yeah, $12K or more is a great deal. 

 

I do wonder how Q1 sales will look for GM. I just have not seen many T1s on the road around DFW, which is wild. And as someone mentioned above, the local Chevy deal here (Classic Chevy) still has 139 2018 K2s on their lot. When the 2019's came out, they had them all lined up along the highway at the front of the lot. Now, all the 2018's are lined up there. 

 

I'm seeing a LOT of K2s on the highway lately, which is likely due to them being $10-$12k off MSRP right now, as dealers try to clear them. 

 

All that to say, I don't think GM had a great Q1 with the T1 trucks. Especially the Silverados. My guesstimate is anecdotal, FYI. 

Quarter 1 sales came out about a week ago. Ram sold 120,000 trucks, Chevy sold 114,000, I believe GMC was about 40,000. Both Silverado and Sierra were down over Quarter 1 2018, while Ram was up about 15%. 

 

In my area, the 2018s are mostly sold out, at least the desirable ones are. You can get $16K off MSRP, but the pickings are slim.

RAM said 1/3 of their Q1 sales were Gen 4 1500s (the previous model). 

 

I wonder how many of GM’s Q1 were 2018s? I bet it was quite a few, judging from what I see driving around DFW.

Well, if I ever start having trouble with my 18 Sierra it’s going to be replaced with a brand new Raptor. Dodge is junk, three loaded out dodges I’ve owned in the past and owned each one no longer than a year. And now, Dodge with all that extra bling stuff that no one really cares for, will start to break down as time goes by and always remember, you can dress a monkey up in a suit and tie but it’s always going to be a monkey and behave like one too.

I am in the market for a T1.  I will most likely be getting the diesel depending on how the tow numbers work out.  T1 improvements in my opinion should have included bucket seat option in LT trim, also LT trim an above should have included rear arm rest and storage option, only $225.  Also very few LTs are being ordered with the Safety I package.  If I was ordering for a dealer, I would order quite a few with the Safety I and back seat options in LT trim.  With that said, I could not stand several things with the K2 including no rear air vents above the floor, uncomfortable front and rear seats, and too much vibration in the driveline.  I will deal with the T1 shortcomings  over the K2's shortcomings and issues.

Adding the rear air vents, plus the added legroom is what sold me on paying a little extra for a T1 vs. a 2018 K2. Though they skimped on some things in the LT/TB/RST trim options (IMO), the improvements made in other areas make me more than happy to have a T1 now and not a K2.

Not sure but locally 13k off 19 LTs. $17k of remaining 18 Denalis

Same here in DFW. $14K off 2018 SLT / LTs and $16K off Denalis at the GMC dealer right up the road. 

 

$48-$50K for a brand new 2018 Denali Ultimate is a pretty sweet deal for the right buyer.

Where is that at? I had to negotiation up to 12k. Also is the 13k including the lease loyalty offer?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
