Can’t lock employee price on HDs

[Hockeylover86]

Called my local dealer today, looking to order a 3500HD.

 

I spec’d out red quartz and selected body color wheel well liners, but was told it’s not available for order even though I was able to pick it on GMs configuration site.

 

I did see a truck like that at a dealer 400 miles away so I wonder if it’s on constraint?

 

Also the dealer said they can’t lock in employee price for all on an HD which stinks since there are very few on dealer lots now.

 

Looks like I may wait to order until spring since other incentives are basically zero now.

Not sure of model you tried to order, but flint is only building crew cabs.  Not sure if they will build any more reg or double cabs for 2021.

It was a crew cab Denali.

 

I did see that for 1500s, crews only.

 

Guess covid has the entire supply chain still messed up.

Can't help with the incentives. Fortunately,  I can get the employee price through my uncle pretty much anytime.

Anyway, I too wanted the body color wheel moldings on the 2500HD.  My dealer as well said couldn't get right now.  BUT, they were an LPO (dealer installed) option anyway and they would write them up with the purchase and install when they could finally get them.

Are you sure you were using the 2021 configurator? 

 

Red Quartz was dropped for 2021 model.

Press story I saw (not an official gm media release) did say the lock-in pricing thing was for 1500's.

If you found one at another dealership you’d better jump on it. The incentives this month are about as good as they get and as you know the supply is very low. Took me three months to find mine and it was 7 hours away.

The Red Quartz is definitely not available this year, its a new version of Red.  I actually wanted it, but ended up with Pacific Metallic Blue on my 2500 AT4, and absolutely love it.  She showed up dealer lot around 12-6 after being ordered 9-26.

[Hockeylover86]

Yes, sorry, it was cayenne.

 

I really don’t need a truck in the winter so I’m in no real hurry, especially if it’s not exactly what I want.

 

There really isn’t much inventory out there since according to my dealer GM isn’t even allowing sold orders, it’s allocation only.

I was able to have a truck ordered back in mid November

2500HD Crew/Duramax/Standard box

the dealer said it was a substitution for one they had ordered for their lot (was intended to be a 2500 Crew Gas.)

 

The dealer and I sat down on 12/16/20 and found that I was able to receive Employee Pricing.   But it was only available on specific models, Like the 2500 Crew/Duramax and Denali for example.

 

I signed for the truck and we expect it by Mid January.

 

This is my 5th GMC truck. I have owned Toyotas, Chevy's, Ford's & 1 Dodge before.   There is no comparison.  GMC - "MIC-DROP"
