No sir Bruce

me and Robbie both had to travel across several states to get that deal.

Total savings for me

Dealers around here adding 5k to msrp 92k would have been 97k.

I paid 83k, 14k savings for me well worth it for me.

 

 

 

No, not calling you a liar, I just DO find that hard to believe! That's a helleva deal, not sure how they're able to do that unless they had an over-stock and needed to move some trucks?? Yeah, the added price to sticker went away here about 1-1/2 yr's ago. I'm sure that dealer does far more volume than my local dealership, so they probably get a bigger margin between msrp & the bottom line. Congrat's on the deal, you did well!

No worries,  yes sir Hella of a deal..

We actually ordered ours as they couldn't keep them in stock took about 3.5 months to come in gave everyone on here a heads-up about the place and Robbie got one ordered also.

Colorado has been MSRP for a while.  But no way I'm doing that.  I ran numbers at 5 different dealers, and finally got the one closest to my house to sell it to me at "invoice", which amounts to about 5k off on my AT4X gasser.  Scheduled for production next week, I placed my refundable deposit just under a month ago.  Not the best deal in the world, but working local will gain me some tax savings.  I spoke to someone at Rivard, but they would not take a custom order.  They did offer to send me a list of all trucks in their pipeline to choose from.  Even after shipping it to Colorado, it still would have worked out a little better, but I am OK with the deal I got.

 

Generally speaking, I think by the end of the year, all of these HDs are back to the normal 8-12k off MSRP.  Unless it is RAM, which of course are already available at 12-15k off.

You're the second person that has said Rivard wouldn't work with you, do you remember the sales person? Last I check they were doing custom orders but the internet guy is a clown and doesn't want to work with people at all.

It was a manager.  I started with an internet chat, gave my email, and then a manger contacted me.  They did not say they would not work with me.  On the contrary, they were very friendly.  They only said they would not order me a custom unit.  I like the mechanicals things most people skip - dual alternators and batteries, block heater, high idle.  None of their ordered for stock units had those things.

Yeah same thing I originally ran into with the internet manager...  but dang 5k off is still way better than most deals for sure out here.

Thanks.  I am in a decent position of owning my 2020 1/2 ton and not "needing" the 2500 by a specific date.  We estimated the trade value a month ago and agreed.  No doubt it will go down as I await the new truck, but if they lowball at the time of the deal, I'll walk.  Optimistic that won't happen though 👍

The only reason I agreed to close to msrp(1k off) back in 22 was because the trade values were out of this world. The trade I had was a Kia minivan not exactly known for amazing resale and it was an easy 10k over what it should have been so in my opinion it didn’t matter if that money came off the msrp or the trade was artificially high. Would have been the same as about 11k off msrp. 
 

trades really started to tank after that. I know because one of the places I shopped for trades in caravana and even to this day they email me monthly trade values for that van. It was a 2020 and it was at 36k in 22. We paid 35 lol. It’s now at 20k!! In the last email I received.

GM is moving quick now.  My order went in 2/8, immediately allocated, and delivered to dealer 4/2.  Less than 2 months, pretty amazing (AT4X 2500).

Found out today that mine has finished production and is on it's way to CA. I ordered on 1/17/24. It may have been finished before today.

 

I then called up my SnugTop dealer to order my shell. Lead time on it is 6 to 12 weeks...almost as much as the truck itself. Price of the shell went up 20% since I got a quote in January.

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
