I am trying to get my dealer to let me order a yellow trail boss LT. 
 
Has anyone gone through the fleet order process?
 
Thanks,
Chris
Why does your dealer have to let you order a yellow one? You're the customer. If he doesn't want to order one for you find another dealer.

The dealer is probably afraid the he won’t pick it up and then they will be stuck with an unsellable color. Unless DHL needs a Trail Boss delivery truck.
 

I don’t think there’s any minimum order for them, but they won’t build until they have 5 orders for that color at the plant. And either way, I don’t think GM intends for people off the street to be ordering these colors, nor do they make it easy.

I love crazy colors on cars. Dodge is really the only company putting out fun colors.  I actually like the yellow. GMC had a nice dark orange a few years back I would have loved to have been available for 2020.

That is atrocious.

HAHAHA. The yellow could be ok if the exterior was modified with aftermarket parts

Yeah I liked that burnt orange too

Well I like the yellow myself. I also considered orange.

 

The salesman I am dealing with was supposed to find out the process, since he had never ordered a fleet optioned one before.

 

I like having the ability to spot my truck in a crowded parking lot :D 

 

I wish the sea foam green or light blue was still an available option for the trucks, but a yellow trail boss LT with the rst rally stripes is sounding pretty good to me.

 

Thanks,

Chris

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
