Business Choice Program. GMC and Chevrolet.

 

Anyone ever use this program? To qualify, ones does need to own/have a business. But small businesses are as good as a larger business in this program.

 

Just curious if there were any business owners out there or those self-employed.

From what I understand, you must have a Tax ID number and the Truck must be registered to the business. When I bought my truck they were offering the Cargo Management System and about $900.00 in accessories for the CMS free under that program. Awesome deal for those with a business!

I got free tool boxes with this program for the cargo management system. If you own a business, you get free stuff. Simple. The truck doesn't need to be purchased, leased or titled to your business. You can put everything in your own name. Just prove that you own a business by supplying business cards, letterhead, tax ID, ect... It was really easy and saved me a bunch of money on something that I would have purchased anyway.

I asked about it, and was told I needed to supply all that stuff before I finalized the paperwork to purchase the vehicle! I would have liked to have gotten a couple toolboxes, I didn't need the rack... My wife has a Tax Id for her business, and those tool boxes would hold a boat load of cosmetics! LOL!

All I had to do was supply a business card before the sale, then as we completed the transaction (ordered truck) a month later they asked for the tax ID and letterhead to submit to GM. I think the business must be directly owned by the owner of the truck (not your wife) and has to have something to do with needing a truck.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that whole "needing the truck for the business" part probably played into it! I tried to tell them she had one hell of a client list and did her own deliveries, but all I got was a funny look!

My limited understanding of the Business Choice Program is that all one has to have is a business. Self-employed is fine. The business does not have to have anything to do with the truck although that may be the reason one is purchasing a truck.

 

One dealer told me that the truck/vehicle has to be titled in the business name while others state that is not necessary.

 

One does need proof of a business. But any business will do. Maybe it is just the trades. None asked me.

On some models options only available to fleet buyers are available to Business Choice.

 

And if one has a GM charge card, all points can be used.

I chose the $600 offer for applying for the GM card-which is an option -They give you the card with a $600 credit on it to do what you want with. I needed my fein # and didnt have to put it in my company name.

I purchased a 2500 LTZ CCLB in april and received the sliding tool box and ladder racks for free. I gave them a voided bussiness check and copies of my Sams Club and BJ's club bussiness membership cards and signed the form for GM Program. I was self employed without a Tax ID and dealer said they were sufficiant for the program. :)

I think there is a lot of mis-information out there especially at smaller dealerships.

 

As one salesman at one dealer told me that vehicle has to be titled in the business name.

 

I have since contacted GM Fleet to get much clarified. They advised to always ask for the Commercial or Fleet salesperson.

 

One can order any and all of the restricted to retail customers fleet options. Such as SEO colors - non-brochure colors.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
