been trying to order a 25 silverado double cab and basicly there telling me gm wont let them order doubles'...  yet there available on the build site.  was wondering if anyohne else is haveing the same issue.  i really have no use for the full crew cab.  and i definitley dont want a box shorter then 6'6.   went thru the same isssue last year and finally canvelled my order as it was getting late in the season to waste money on a 24...   so now same b/s in 25.

Perhaps time to visit another dealer? 

 

 

Some trims are not available in double cab -- but if the one you want is available on design/build that shouldn't be the issue.

 

Production year is from about summer to summer. 

Seems early for them to have closed '25 order book yet. 

 

 

The crew is available with standard box.  

Yes, a little harder to park -- and too long for some garages if wanting/needing to park inside.

I ordered a `25 double cab on the 1`st day of the production line change over. LT model, 5.3, with NHT package. Took about 6 weeks to get. Picked it up at the dealer on 10/22/24 with 5 miles on it.

only dealer in town.  i was watching the web site and 25 builds werent even doable till mid nov... i'm in canada if that makes a difference.   i just dont really want a crew cab i have no use for the extra size of it.  so nobody else has heard of a shortage of the doublecabs? i was looking at a rst model and built it on the build page.  dealer says he cant get any dbl cabs.

Constraint in ordering.  Dealers get updates weekly on what they can and can't order for that week. If GM has no allocations to any dealers for double cabs, nobody can order one because they aren't building any for X amount of weeks.

I don`t understand that. Unless the assy line quit making double cabs. I ordered mine in late august and picked it up at the dealer on 10/22/24. LT double cab with NHT.

you ordered a 2025 in august? i wasnt able to do a build online till like novemberish...it seemed late.   whats NHT?

Yep. Aug 26`th. 1`st day the line started building double cabs. The other cabs started earlier. Mine is a Ft. Wayne build.

 

NHT is max trailer package. Only way to get that on most models IS to customer order. Not from dealer stock. It`s got 3.42 gears vs 3.23. So, I guess they don`t want many of these "gas hogs" running around.

hmm maybe they did a double cab batch at the begging... funny the build site wasnt anywhere near up at that time... if this is the case i should be able to build a 26 this summer and get it by late august? that isnt really that far away. no point getting a 25  three quarters thru the season.

Simple, Dealer DOES NOT have an allocation to get his order placed.  No allocation, order won't get picked up. Find another dealer and make sure they can order it.

Dealers only receive allocation if earned ...some weeks it is not earned and not available...

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
