Ordered a 24 HD/LT April 29th. MN Dealer said it was built in June. Still sitting in Canada!!!  They have tried to sell me other trucks. Ones that have come in and people got tired of waiting for and went else were. Usually High Country's in the $80's. Dont want a HC. Last one took 9 mo to get to dealer.

Something sounds wrong with your order; I ordered a 3500 CC LT long bed in June (tried to order in April) and just picked it up. I waited for the lakeshore blue - late availability, and a time constraint on the long bed. Are you Shure the dealer has allocation?

If you are looking for a truck at below MSRP  I highly recommend to Get a hold of Paige @ Robideaux Motors in Idaho

You  may wait a bit for it but if you have patience you can score a good deal.

Sales guy called today to let me know that the 24 AT4 HD that I ordered 10/5/23 has been built, 4200 event code. I’m still hunting for the rest of the week then time to get all of the stuff out of my 2018 GMC 1500 SLE. I have Chevy wheels with Hakkapeliitta LT3 snow tires on my truck and will need to put the stock GMC wheels on it before I trade it. It kinda sucks that I only have one summer on my summer tires, Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.

I wouldn't get in too big of a hurry as I've found it can take almost a month for delivery after it's been built. At least out here in this part of the US, maybe your area will be quicker.

What is everyone paying now in relation to MSRP on factory orders? Does Costco Auto program give preferential pricing in addition to the $1000 rebate?

8% below msrp and no crazy backdoor charges.

Yes sir, how's it treating you?

2500 Miles already, she’s in for some warranty work right now. Driver side rear marker light in the fender has water in it and there was lost communication with 2 brake mondules on the driver side rear. And while she’s there she’s going to get her first oil change. Other than those little hiccups it’s a wonderful truck. Find my self taking it more than our other vehicles on road trips

The dang little things always want to hold us up.....

I am at 4500 so far and definitely like taking it over any other vehicle, just so comfortable and the fuel mileage is crazy good for this size truck 17 around town( country town) and 20+ on the hwy.

We are enjoying it for sure, have you put anything heavy behind it yet?

Most for me 6k camper 16mpg on the hwy.

Still looking to get 5th wheel soon

There is a bit more dealing off msrp finally happening but trade values have dropped much more than 8% in even the last 12-18mo. And most people do have a trade to bring to the table so in that situation, people are going to pay one way or another. 
 

I bought my truck for 1k under msrp only but my trade was outrageously high compared to its value now. We got 32k on a vehicle we bought over 2 years previously for 36. Not a truck either, a Kia,  not exactly known for stellar resale. That same vehicle is sitting at 21k trade right now. 
 

There was a sweet spot for insane resale trades and if you found a dealer not doing markups, it worked out well.

Yeah no trade for me, totaled my 2018 1500 couple years back got 4k more than paid for new (when vehicles were hot) so it worked out well for especially seeing how dealers near me were adding 5k to msrp

Mines about 15-17 around town and 18-20+ on highway. Came back from getting truck undercoated yesterday before taking it to the dealer I averaged 22.5 over 95 miles doing 60-70 mph. It’s had about 4k behind her so far with the 4 wheeler and hunting gear, and some yard debris.  They are still working on trying to get me my actual Ohio plate. I’m still rockin the Florida temp tag

Yes, we snuck into that short window nicely - made a nice few bucks off our 21 Tahoe (more than we paid brand new 3 years ago) on trade-in and also get employee pricing (came to about 10% off MSRP) with no dealer bs, so basically got to swap the two with no money lost despite the truck MSRP being quite a bit higher. But I suspect if we had waited even a few weeks that profit on the Tahoe would’ve disappeared. Dealer had to drop the price on it several times and it sat 2.5 months on their used lot. Now the used ‘21 Tahoes at the dealer close to me are listed about $8000 less than what similar trims/mileage were just since end of August when we made our trade.

When it gets here it gets here. Dealer thinks it will be here at the end of December.

    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
