I'll be ordering a 2021 3500HD SRW then, unless I find the perfect 2020 truck. I've spotted two in a 2,000 mile search. Waiting to see what the deals are.

Wondering if they have stopped shipping the already built trucks.

I saw a load of new Silverados & Sierras the other day. Saw a load of new Fords too.

It's a mess guys. SE Michigan is in very bad shape for the virus. I would be surprised if flint is running full speed before May at this point. Michigan has been on lock down since Monday. Hopefully we see the cases reduce next week, but so far no progress.

I had a TPW of 4-20-20. Understandably, there was no way that was going to happen. The safety of the production workers is way more important than any truck. That said, I decided I didn't want to wait on my order. My Dealer worked with me and I ended up purchasing a 2020 2500 LTZ in Summit White. Couldn't be happier with the truck. The timing wasn't what I was expecting, but it is what it is. If anyone wants a loaded LT in Silver Ice Metallic, I know where there will be one in a few months...I think. Hope everyone stays healthy and safe.

There was talk of exploring options to convert parts of vehicle assembly lines into medical equipment production to help with the virus situation.

They're converting the electronics plant in Kokomo, Indiana.

Re-opening Warren transmission to make masks.

I got my DRW just before the s . . . hit the fan. I feel pretty fortunate in this regard as not that many shipped in the first place and I suspect those will be the last to ramp up when things get rolling again. I just hope we can get clear of this mess in a reasonable amount of time with as few casualties as possible.
