2025 build/order

[iron_786]

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.

Not all dealers have the same allocations. Mine came from a large dealer. Ft. Wayne build.

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.

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...
