Anyone know if a dealer will install one?

 

TIA

I mean they could... The electric parts will make it expensive, probably $2-3k.
Why didn't you get one with it if it mattered that much to you.

I got a good deal on the truck and everything else was right.

I could have been more patient and waited to find the perfect one... and had I known this COVID thing was gonna wreck the industry like it did, it would have been easy to wait knowing the prices... but.... you know... its easy to paint the bullseye after you shoot the arrow lol

You could always get a manual sliding one.  A bit inconvenient, but it will open.  The window in my truck is manual,. but I have a regular cab?

I can't believe these dealers have you guys believing deals are tied to particular trucks.

Yes some will have a small dealer discount, usually those have a less than desirable build. (Reg cab 4X4 4.3 with no cruise for instance) but it isn't more than about $1200.

Hope you got $15k off MSRP for something that wasn't how you liked. Always shop the truck you want NEVER the deal. Buy something you aren't happy with and in a year you will be trying to trade and rolling negative equity. Seen it over and over again. Never shop off of payment either. #RantEnd

Anyways ya I would go aftermarket manual slider sucks to have to stop to close it if it starts raining but it is what it is.

Sometimes deals are tied to specific trucks. GM sets specific targets for monthly sales by model, hence the hidden "holdback" cash for each truck will revert to the dealer for each sale in excess of the target. That's why better prices can be had toward the end of the month when a dealer knows that he will hit his sales target for the month.  But there is another bonus to large volume dealers offered in additional money that can be applied to one or two specific vehicles identified by the dealer for the following month, usually their slow movers....and once applied to a specific VIN cannot be moved or applied to another vehicle. Dealers sometimes offer them as new car specials, but usually won't identify them for obvious reasons, but sometimes you can spot them because they are overloaded with accessories for the particular model, have been sitting for a few months accumulation interest on dealer loans and low if any mileage from test rides because they have a high MSRP for the model. Hence, my $56.5K RST with 4 miles went for $42K flat, rollout including the State tax differential, while a similarly equipped one without the 22"s was selling for the same amount.

That’s a huge plus on this generation of trucks. A lot of the rear windows with the sliders are leaking (including mine) and having to be replaced. The aren’t a lot of cases of the solid windows leaking if at all.

I mean if it's what you were looking for that's perfect but I would never tell somebody hey save $5,000 by buying this truck that you're really not happy with just to save $5k.

If they really want you to buy a specific truck that you're not super happy with, that's fine take, them to the cleaners because you're doing them a favor at that point.

I once negotiated a 3500 limited ASIN (85k MSRP down to a written $51k.) Couldn't find the final grand so I walked. XD I wasn't spending over 50k and didn't want a dually.

My 2020 1500 RST does (electric). So I assume they can install one for you. May be pricey tho.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).

      Coming back to this question, *my* answer is no, it's not something about which I'm knowledgeable. I'd need to read up on it and understand how it applies to we the consumer and our oil change regimens.   One of your bolded points is that fresh oil in a container contains particulate matter. I don't think I'm surprised, maybe a little bit that it seems to be a major factor, but there's manufacturing process involved in oil and it doesn't exactly come in sterile packaging.    How much is filtered out on the first start by an acceptable quality filter (AC Delco, as a baseline) filter?   On the GM OLM discussion, just saying that the "number of engine revolutions" appears to be a factor in oil life... cough... maybe driving style *does* matter.

      GMC has been revising their trim level names over the past several years. Sierra Pro has taken over the Work Truck/SL trim name; Elevation has replaced the SLE (and with the Premium upgrade, SLT) in the SUV lineup of late; AT4/AT4 Ultimate and Denali/Denali Ultimate have been the top of the line in off road luxury and on-road luxury respectively for the full-size pickups and SUVs.    SL, SLE, SLT nomenclatures are gone in the Sierra truck line. Mark my words.
