I placed an order with my dealer for a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 about a month ago.  At this point, my order still haven't been accepted by GM, and the dealer doesn't know when it will be.  They also won't tell me if they even have the available allocation.  With the 2022 refresh coming to the GMC Sierra, I'm now thinking about waiting a bit longer to get the newer model with a hopefully updated interior.  However, I'm not sure when orders for the 2022 are allowed to be placed, and when the 2022 vehicles will start to hit the lots.  I know there are a lot of unknowns with everything that's happened this year, but I'm curious if anyone can offer insight on the wait time for a 2022 Sierra.

So if you can start putting in orders by early June and here we are at the end of April I would imagine that GM would introduce the 2022 model pretty darn soon right?

You would hope...but I do remember the 2016 refresh debuting really really late. September I think.

You can order them in June and the plants change over in July to the next year. Must new inventory starts getting to dealer lots in mid September though. With the current situation on parts availability I'd say it's going to be later on the 22s as well.

June 3rd is the start of 2022 order entry availability.  Production starts September 20-27th

Is this official?!? I got a wild hair and just sold my truck because the offer was so good. Now I’m just waiting for the 2022 books to open. Thanks!!

I'm in the same boat. Just tried to order a Silverado 1500 last week but GM wouldn't let the dealer add in all the options I wanted due to the chip shortage.  To make matters more complicated, I read an article yesterday saying both GM and Ford are canceling their summer shut down/re-tooling for the new model year in order to try to catch up on 2021 production.  It would not surprise me if GM delayed the 2022 refresh for another year, just to catch up on current demand.

Oh wow. Yep, I could see that happening too.

They're definitely not delaying the refresh.

Do you have a solid source on that and is the timing still the same : Order in June, Manufacture late September for what I would assume is a November delivery to the dealer?  Trying to decide if I buy a truck on a lot now or wait for the 22 refresh.

Here's the thing... even waiting on pre-ordering a 2022 isn't really going to help you if you want a truck NOW and are willing to order a 2021. 

 

Most are saying this chip shortage is going to crimp production well INTO 2022. If you want something in the near future, you better hunt it down on a lot somewhere and lock it in at whatever price you can. 

 

We just bought a 2021 Pacifica Hybrid, and I found the last one within 700 miles of me in DFW. Thankfully, I still got good incentives on it. The FCA dealer I bought it from said they've started sending flatbed trucks north into the midwest to buy up new & used cars and drag them down to TX to sell them off to their increasing list of buyers who want something NOW. 

 

So even if GM does not delay the 2022 refreshes, I really do not see the current production issues making it "easier" to get one vs. a 2021 right now. $0.02.

Yes, I agree with your post.  I spoke to an ad exec I know who sells TV advertising.  Ford has cancelled all TV adds in several major markets for the foreseeable future.  I am sure GM is not far behind and with that will go most of the cash incentives I would assume.  I found a truck I'll accept that is in transit to a local dealer. I plan to sign for it tonight just to lock it down with current rebates.

Nice! And good thing it is in-transit to you... vs being on a lot when all that hail came thru the other night. I wonder how many dealers got dealt a blow with that storm? What a mess... having an already skeletal inventory, then having the few cars you can sell left getting walloped by tennis-ball hail. 🙈

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
