Finally picked up my CarbonPro AT4 today. Reserved in October and ordered in mid-January. I had the same issue as others are having now where it showed up at a higher price than what I ordered which was a bit of a surprise. My dealer ended up getting approval to knock the price down to the original number we landed on which I really appreciated.

Ok, so I get everything y’all are saying, but since the dealer doesn’t know how to do that *cough *, how do I go through GM to get it changed?

Did you order GMC and reserve, and thus have been getting emails? If so go back to the early ones and see at the bottom where it says you have your price set. Show that to them and push them to do something about it. They really need to be the ones to do something.

 

If you really want the truck and they won’t do anything then just pay it yourself and fight with GM customer service to be reimbursed.

It depends on if you had an early $100 reservation and when your order dates were placed and accepted and the build date.

Reservation was only a GMC thing. I have a Chevy coming and am still paying the price at order, no reservation, not a cent out of my pocket so far.

 

and you mention build/production dates. I’m pretty sure that is a typo in the article you guys are mentioning. People are paying (or should be) the price at time of ORDER PLACEMENT, not at time of production. It says this right in your GMC emails.

Nice truck Hickory. I am happy it all worked out for you.


Thanks man! I’m extremely happy with waiting it out now that I see it live. When I got there though and saw the increased price on the window sticker, I immediately thought of your experience and was going to hop on here to see how you got it fixed. Thankfully they were able to get the number knocked down quickly somehow so we dodged a bullet there.

My dealership was very reluctant to honor the price because they stated that GM has burned them before by not reimbursing them for the price increase. So they were not willing to take off the difference. That's why I had to proceed further.

My truck was built in mid may. Dessert sand at4 with the 3 liter. It has been sitting there for almost a month. Has any one else had long build to ship times?

Yes.  Very common right now.  I'd bet that these 3800 units that are sitting are missing parts.  GM has stopped putting the MP and 4D00 status on vehicles so I don't know for sure but there's really no other reason for vehicles to sit for 1+ months at 3800 after production.

I received an email from the sales manager at the dealer that the 6.2L was not available and I would have to decide on the 5.3L or 3.0L for my "Denali order". OK, as I ordered a AT4X and it only comes with the 6.2L, this does not pertain to me - right?

 

I also got an email from GMC\Buick saying that I needed to confirm my order with my dealer for my "2019 GMC Sierra 1500" - what? I do have a 2019 Sierra AT4, at present.

 

Seems like GM and my GMC dealer are very confused and sending out emails with incorrect\misleading information. When I reply with what I "think they are asking", this only creates more confusion. I have no idea what the status of my AT4X order is, at present. Reserved on the first day and placed order in January, which was confirmed by GM. Received production confirmations and all that.

 

No freaking clue what is happening and when I will actually receive my truck. Very happy, however, I have my current AT4 and got Falken ATW's, which greatly improved the offroad capabilities with minimal impact to onroad composure.

gmauthority has an article today saying now the 3.0L LM2 diesel is on constraint and dealers will be contacting people with orders - sounds like options are either the 2.7 or 5.3 or wait until next year for the 2023 with the new LZ0 engine.  Ordered 4/4/ gm accepted order 5/5 but still no TPW so I'm guessing I am not getting a truck built this year.

 

I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  My dealer has some 2022 Limiteds with the 3.0L diesel.  Downside to that is it doesn't have the refreshed interior, no HD surround vision which I am kind of ambivalent about and they are lacking parking assist, rear cross traffic alert, heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated/cooled seats - to be retrofitted at some future date whenever parts become available. 

 

I feel like the supply chain issues aren't going to get better and waiting for 2023's seems like that's no guarantee of getting a truck built either and with the way prices on everything are going up its a safe bet the 2023's will cost even more than the 2022 refresh..  At the same time if I "settle" for a 2022 limited it won't have the items noted above - I'm not confident the parts come in for the missing features anytime soon either - if ever.

Alright guys and gals, I ordered my 3.0 LT Trailboss on 2/11, GM accepted the order on 4/12 with a TPW of 5/9.  It arrived at the dealership on 6/6 and I picked it up on 6/14 (ordered from an out of state dealer).  Only thing it didn't have was the front park assist chip.  I did get hosed on the MSRP price increase though...

Looks like I might get lucky.  Order placed 4/4,  order accepted 5/5.  Just received an email 6/20 from GM that the truck is being built.

You need to contact GM. You should not have paid the MSRP increases.

    • I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
