Question for anyone that has ordered a truck lately

Overall, I like the truck. Just a little disappointed that threre is no 12V socket and no aux port.

Looks great, I love those wheels!

If could have gotten those wheels I would have left them alone....looks really good.

Is the 12V socket a chip shortage deal or part of the refresh interior?

I sure like the refresh front end better than the older ones....I just didn't like the sides being chopped off in the front.

No 12V is part of the refresh

I think the 12v socket is part of the refresh interior. I'm going to have to add one myself to power my valentine 1.

I prefer the pre refresh front end. The placement of the bowtie looks akward to me. It's too big and needs to be moved to the center.

The truck did come with the ventilated seats and the heated steering wheel even though my sticker says that it did not. The only thing that is missing is the parking assist and the steering column lock.

Unfortunately, it has DFM. Chevrolet customer service assured me that no v8 trucks would have it when I ordered it, but they were wrong.

Strange, they did such a great job on the interior and left that out.

I have to agree with you on the bowtie, I think I'd change it to a black bowtie....the ones I have seen look a little better black.....I was surprised the new bowtie was actually bigger, but it sure is.

I think Chevrolet customer service just makes a good guess sometimes.

It's looking like the truck I will be getting is not going to have the parking assist and the steering column lock just like yours.....I don't really mind the missing steering column lock, that will just remind me a old trucks

They are supposed to get mine in this week Took a few weeks of looking, but I found just about exactly what I wanted "in transit".....it's going to be a 4X4.....which will hurt the MPG's a little, but I will be happy with that just the same.

I will just be thankful to have it in the garage!

Thanks!

Glacier Blue Metallic, I have wanted that color since I first got the email from Chevrolet last August for a naming contest.

It reminds me of the old Bright Blue Metallic they had on IROCs in the 80's....always loved that blue!

The Glacier Blue Metallic looks amazing. I still haven't seen one in the wild.

It really surpassed what I was hoping for, the metallic is so good it honestly looks like blue chrome.

I have only seen it twice and had to drive almost 2 hours to see it the first time, they need to get them out there for people to see!

It looks like a lot of dealers are adding a few thousand dollars to MSRP on some of these trims now. The disclaimer states supply/demand..blah blah blah. I'm curious if dealers will honor the prices quoted at the time of order. THEY BETTER!!!!

I hope so too. My duramax elevation has gone up almost $2k since I ordered it on April 2. I'd like to think the dealer would honour the price on the signed purchase agreement but who knows these days. Mine is built and awaiting transport so should find out shortly.

mine truck was 68k if they add a dollar extra, I'm not getting it, america is about to go in deep recession, you are crazy if you pay any extra money for your truck. let them keep it, soon you will be able to get truck with a great discount. mark my words.
