Good luck with you order.

 

I had ordered my '22 LAST June, was built in November and was delivered to the dealer for me to pick up end of May this year.

 

Hopefully your process is not a SNAFU like mine.

 

Good looking truck you created.

I read an article that 23' production orders start going in July 18 - anyone know whether there's truth to this or not? 

 

 Also read where makeover was supposed ot begin with MY23, but that's been delayed to 2024 so 23's will be - basically 22's - correct me if that was bad info.

 

I spent many years in the auto part supplier business -- direct suppliers to the OEM's, including GM.

 

Used to be that all GM plants took a 2 week vacation in the last part of July.

During this time the supplier production employees took vacation too.  The maintenance and plant engineering types spent the 2 weeks doing maintenance items that were not possible in shorter time periods (including tooling / equpment mods/updates to suit the next model year requiremens.

 

Anyway -- it's possible that Jul8 18 is sop for '23 model.

It's also possible that Jul '18 is the start of 'summer shutdown' and the '23 sop is 2 weeks later --Aug 1.

 

 

Long winded way of saying that since '23 model pickup has very few changes vs the '22.5 (refreshed '22) it would be reasonable to think that the '23's will start late Ju or early Aug. 

 

 

I've been away from the business for a lot of years, but sometimes, somebody that works for a Tier 1 supplier (ie direct to OEM) or at the assembly plant pops into these threads with the info for this year.
