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

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
