For those of you that have ordered a truck what was the process on the the price?  

 

Invoice or slightly higher?

Negotiated?

Rebates get applied when delivered?

 

I have never ordered a truck and may be doing so so wasn't sure what the norm was.

 

Thanks.

Me too.  I don't really want/need anything more than an AT4 with the Premium package.  I don't need the tech and driver 2 packages, sunroof (have one now and never use it and the shade is closed most of the time due to sun shining into my eyes) but it seem most AT4 come with those 3 options.  3.0 duramax.

Rebates will be determined during the month in which you purchase.  So if you order in December, but the truck comes February and you sign the papers, any rebates in February would apply.  I wouldn't settle too hard on a final price as again, the rebates will vary.

Good luck!  I've never had the motivation to order a new vehicle as I feel I can make a better deal with in-stock vehicles.  I know that incentives apply to both ordered and stock vehicles but I always feel that dealers prefer to move inventory.  I have filled in many "dream" build sheets online but I'm better at making the big choice rather than several little ones.  I've also found that features I thought were important or things I thought were a waste, often  change.  My current truck has a "must have"  sliding rear window which I rarely use.  I based this decision on the many trucks I had without A/C.   This truck came with parking sensors which I would have never ordered.  (My DD has been a pickup since my first 1969 F100 and I certainly don't need help parking.)  Now, I wouldn't buy a truck without!  I also like the instant gratification of buying off the lot.  If I ordered, I'd probably go nuts second guessing my choices while waiting! ?  Enjoy your new truck!

Rebate/program will be whatever is available at time of delivery. (of course if it's a supplier/fleet program of some sort, then you likely already know what the program is)

Dealer discount is whatever you can negotiate. 

Of course trade value is also whatever you can negotiate, 

 -- and they still play the game moving dollars between discount and trade-in to suit what they think you want to hear.

 

I've never signed paperwork or given any deposit to order.

I've also always been able to arrive at a deal I was happy with after the truck arrived.

I ordered and took delivery of my 2021 Silverado last month. IMO the best site to use is the https://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com/build-and-price/ website as I find the configurator the easiest. If you know someone to get you a Supplier authorization code, that is the price you pay, with the incentives of the month you take delivery applied. I've heard that if you don't use the Supplier you might be able to negotiate a bigger dealer discount, but it didn't work for me. No wiggle room with the supplier discount either, but I was satisfied with the price I was getting. No paperwork or deposit.

Same as a usual sales process - price negotiable, rebates applied, good trade-in value.  Certainly not paying MSRP or close to it, at least with my local dealer.  They are a pleasure to work with.

 

More importantly, no deposit required and no obligation to buy once it arrives.

Who/where can you get a supplier code?

Sometimes you can get it through the company you work for, you can search that on the site. Or if you know someone who is a GM employee (or in my case the Son of a retiree) they can give you it too.

I came very near ordering a dodge then later a gmc this year. Dodge doesn't apply any credits or rebates until the truck lands at the dealer which this year was at least 6 weeks out. With that most current incentives would have expired and whatever came next would be available but not predictable. The gmc dealer I talked to would let us "buy" the vehicle as soon as it had an active vin number which is at end of production. So they would apply rebates much sooner for more predictability. 

 

In the end I found a Chevy with all I wanted. I did compromise on color and would have rather had the gmc sheet metal. I would suggest getting what you want as much as you can afford it. I had pretty bad buyers remorse because there was a 21 gmc being built that was super close to my specs but it was near the end of October so the big incentives were going to be missed IF the truck wasn't done in time. I decided not to chance it and get the chevy at 9k off the sticker instead. It's growing on me but hurt for a few weeks.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
