I think the plan after talking to my dad is getting a hotel for the night in Charlotte. Since it’s roughly the halfway home mark. About 8 hours from Tampa and 8 hours home from Charlotte. But will definitely try and meet up.

Well I didn’t go with Rivard because I never heard of them and when I contacted 2 different salespeople they were slow to get back to me and I figured they didn’t have allocations. So I went with Laura, who I bought from last time 2017. They aren’t discounting except 2500.00 for orders. My truck should be there next week. Should have rolled the dice with Rivard!

Laura and Rivard were the only ones I have heard good things about from multiple sources... the funny thing about Rivard is some guy name Ben flaked a couple of times on me and I decided to try a different route and go visit the dealership while visiting family(kill to birds with one stone) and that's how I met Sammy and he took care of us fast and easy. 

Laura was going to be my next choice if plan b with Rivard didn't work out.

Mine has been awaiting shipment for at least a couple of weeks. 6.6 gasser-10 speed Z71.  I currently have a 2020 Z71 and it has been my favorite.  Used to work for GMAC and buy trucks every 9 months or so, so I've had a bunch.

 

Hoping this 2500 will be as good as my half ton.

I'm curious why so many seem to purchase from Rivard or Laura? Is it the service, price or they simply get more allocation so you have a shorter wait time for a build?

Local to me(SC and NC) dealers add 5k to msrp and 2k in add-ons 7k min upcharge.

Laura from what I understand takes 2500 msrp for a savings of 9500.00

Rivard (where I ordered mine) gave me 8% off msrp (over 7k)for savings of over 14k... plus a plane ticket and drive home.

The BOTH move alot of vehicles and in turn get more allocations.

How do you figure 9500 off at Laura? I ordered mine there and they knocked off 2500 for ordering. On the lot they are msrp. Am I missing something?

The 7k extra over msrp they charge in my area plus the 2500 they offered you...9500

    • Gotta say the Silverado wins in the exterior looks department, in my opinion.
    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
