Their prices advertised are blowing away everyone else's, but none of the 2024s on their site are available.  Did you find their pricing to be legit on your order?  With their pricing, it'd be cheaper for me to order one from them and ship it to me in AZ than to order one locally.

I'm curious about that too.  I called Rivard last summer when I was in the market and they told me all the ones on their website were already sold.  I can see why, their discounts are off the charts.  The person I talked with said because of their prices, they sell trucks like McDonalds sells hamburgers...lol... Total volume!!!  But damn they have the best prices out there if you can get one.

Short answer yes.....

They sell at minimum 8% below msrp, dealer near me are adding 5k to msrp.

I will be saving 13k minimum, with only a 200 plane ticket and a half day drive I will take that any day.

Does anyone know if Rivard GMC is offering that pricing on orders? If so I'll be making a call down there (live in OHIO) and put an order in.

 

Also do they require a down payment for an order? if so how much?

I honestly have no idea.  Give them a call and let us all know please.

Did the dealer happen to mention potentially how much time this could add to the whole process?

WTF? I wonder if it's the LWB frame/driveline? They were building that config gangbusters right at the start of the 24's if ya wanted a crew - Hell, who knows, they are juggling so many suppliers from all over the planet and everyone's got issues somewhere at some point. 

 That's got to be a "life sucking out of the soul" kind of job riding in the middle of that picnick.

HAHA! Yeah, I noticed that - you got the only non-blk/wht/silv on the lot from that photo 😄

 I know a guy who got an order for the red I wanted, volcanic I think this model? on a Chevy crew/LB LTZ - So some paint showed up, for a little while at least. That was a couple weeks ago.

So Jet, how many configs you got saved on "Build Your Own" ??? Ya know what them discounts mean right? more "stuff" ~ just sayin....sounds like the fishin is hot  😂  You one of them famed "lunker" types? you been attracted but the perfect bait just aint crossed in sight yet? DOn't know about your area, but used prices are still stupid as hell and inventory so spotty. Still some game left in this rare moment.

 

 I went by the dealer I bought Big Red from in 2016, also got the Impala there. The place looks like it's about to go out of business. They don't have hardly anything new. couple rows of used stuff along the road with terrible looking acres of bare asphalt. 

 Then, the GMC dealer where I got this one, hard to find a place to park - 90% trucks. 

 So hit and miss and market is everything. All farm country here so trucks are always in demand.

LOL, I had a few but none to detract me enough from my current truck.  Or want to pay the extra premium for.  My Black beauty does everything and more that I want.  It appears I found the right one that I always love getting into and driving to work or towing our camper.  It never ceases to amaze.  I've said this before and will say it again...I really do LOVE MY TRUCK!!!!!  I've said before as well that F250's dominate Atlanta.  Any they do for sure, so driving a Chevy like mine, it's like driving a lambo.  I can't stop anywhere without someone wanting to ask questions about it.  That's how rare my truck is here in Atlanta.  I even get thumbs up from others while I'm driving.  So not only do I love it, it appears most everyone else does too.  And being a car/truck guy, who doesn't love talking about their vehicle while putting gas in it or wherever else...I love it!!!

Interesting, the LB went off constraint for 2 weeks and came back on now. Curious why they can't source them or they are hoarding them for dealer WT stock possibly.

Just to confirm Sammy works at Rivard GMC in Tampa Fl? Reason I ask is I looked at their website and didn’t see him listed as an Employee there. Just wanted to double check. Looking to possibly give him a call this weekend.

Just to reinforce that Atlanta is total Ford country, I actually took the time today on my backroad (not really backroad just not interstate) 10 mile journey to work.  Here's the actual tally counting HD's only....10 Fords, 2 Rams....0 Chevy or GMC.  On the way home today I actually saw 1 GMC HD...So yeah, Atlanta is Ford country for sure.  But I love that because I do love owning a truck that isn't seen a million times everyday by others.  When it comes to half tons, Ford wins but I also see quite a few GM's too.  But Ford rules the HD market here hands down!

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
