I put my order in on 6-8-23, would have done it earlier but I was waiting for GM to start building the Z71 Sport Edition again, for some reason they were on hold. I was notified the following week it would be built on 6-22-23. I planned on watching the build so I postponed it until 7-6-23 when we got back in town from vacation. It was built on the 7th and now waiting for the call to pick it up.

Its been quite some time since I have been this excited for a new vehicle.

Congrats man.

I’m pretty sure I won’t be receiving any of those emails since Florida passed a law where the manufacturers can no longer sell directly to consumers. So it has to go in as dealer inventory. And mine went in a day or two after it took affect.

You should still get them and be able to check progress through gmc.com.

They seem to always appear in inventory before people get them

I've been back and forth between both trucks, Chevy or GMC, but haven't been able to figure out how to add the digital rear view camera to the Sierra. Am I missing something or is it just standard?

Hope you have better luck than I am.   Mine was ordered in March, built in April 4th and has been sitting in Oshawa CA "Pending Dispatch"  ever since.   15 weeks later, still waiting on my truck to be shipped.  The best part is, our dealer is less than 150 miles away for the product plant.   Got to love this stuff.

Just placed an order Friday for an 2500 LTZ with a dealer we’ve known for ages that had “an allocation for an LTZ with a TPW the second week of August.” Had the list of constraints and nothing impacted us. If they had the allocation for next month, and no constraints impacted it, does that generally mean it goes thru for next month?
 

First experience ordering…

Wow, that's wild! I'm waiting for one built mid-late May in Flint. Dealer doesn't know anything, GM says talk to your dealer.

 

Delays are delays, life happens, but at the same time some transparency would be nice.

    • I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
