Recent 2500 build timeline

[shadow gray 2020 hd]

We got more serious about buying in June.  I found trucks in the locator and had our local dealer make attempts to get us those trucks.  Local dealer offers a lifetime powertrain warranty, so we wanted to deal with them, however they were never able to work out a deal to get us what we were looking for.  Seemed like they were only interested in selling us what they had coming which were only white trucks.  In the end missed some great deals while trying to deal with that closest dealer.  

 

I asked at the end of July from a different lot about ordering , and that dealer told me 6-8 weeks, BUT they said it would be a 2021.  They could not order a 2020 and they could not commit to a price.  They could not order the truck we wanted in shadow gray metallic either(the color we wanted) because it was discontinued by gm.  We ended up buying one from the locator that was "in transit".

I've got a 2020 2500 Custom (dealer stock) coming w/ my name on it and I got a text from my salesman saying it was built yesterday.  I hoping to see it sometime in mid September.  I'm guessing it would be one of the last 2020's built?

Well this one didn't work out, moral of the story is don't try to buy a Chevy from the GMC lot... Salesman at the Chevy dealership had already taken a deposit on the truck which is just my luck.  However I really wasn't that excited about anything the Custom offered besides the price so I wasn't too disappointed.  

 

After some conversation and debate with myself I broke down and ordered a 2021 Sierra 2500 SLE, it was about $6000 MSRP more than the Custom trim but it has all the options I was looking for. I figure if I am gonna spend a ton of money on a truck I might as well get the things I want!

I cannot speak for the gmc side, but I was told by chevy dealer that the only promos that would apply for a 2021 build would be solely what was available when the truck hit the lot in the 6-8 week time frame.  They said they could not make any promises of discounts, they could only tell me the msrp of my build would be close to the same as the msrp of the truck that I had a credit card down payment on 500 miles away from home.  Further she warned me that the deepest discounts would NOT be in 6-8 weeks when the 21's are rolling out, but are more likely now.
