Loving it so far. 200 mile drive up US 97 at 21mpg, and I've got a lead foot. No joke.

 

Weighed 8360lbs at the Cat in Biggs Junction.

Well, this change of plan happened today!

 

Had an LTZ on order, kinda wanted the sport edition but couldn’t order it at the time due to constraint (wasn’t a deal breaker, want not a need). Well this one popped into inventory and shockingly was dealer stock not a pre sold order. TOTALLY different look than what we ordered but I had been second-guessing that choice. Guess I was meant to have a bit more flash.

Normally red isn't my favorite, but that color looks really good on the new Z71 Sport!

My truck was built during the week of 7/31 in Flint.  It is still waiting to be shipped.  The expected date is literally listed as Sept - Dec 2023.  Dealer says he has several trucks waiting for delivery to Rochester NY.  Anyone else having the same issue?  Anyone know why there is a hold up?

The one I just got was listed that way too. I actually called the dealer about it and they didn’t want to make arrangements because I wanted a lot for my trade and the ship date was “Aug - Dec.” It was dropped on their lot 2 days later. No way to know for sure though, and rail shipping by nature of availability will take longer.

Wont they be surprised when my 5ft female self gets out with her two little kids for a target run 

 

I’m sure the kayak rack, kids bikes and bunkhouse camper strapped to the back all summer will spoil some of the flashy image too but I’ll ride high (literally in this huge truck which thankfully has power assist steps) on the cool factor for now

Just because it says its in shipping doesn't  mean it isnt being held for a build short item or validation/repair. Theres no way to know unless someone has access to the internal information at the plant.

Your 5 footer will somewhat of a bad ass driving Big Red. My bride will be driving mine from time to time , she  is a good driver, she has always impressed me with ability to drive my 97 GMC one ton with a slide in camper towing a 19 foot boat and she was able to drive a clutch 

I guess that will be a lost art

Ha to be fair it’s really more 5’3, and in this truck I think those 3 inches make a difference! The truck will be all mine though - I’m the one who does all the towing. I *might* let husband drive it once in awhile. Maybe.

Sent this reply to GM, yes I know they don't care but hey what ever... picking up truck tomorrow.

[Zipp]

Let me know how your experience is with Rivard, so far I have not been pleased with my salesman. Did you do the financing before you went down to pick up your truck?
