2022 Refresh Order Experience

Hey Guys,

New to the forum but have been following along for a while gathering info and reading up on others experiences.

Little Information here:

Ordered a 2022 AT4 Refresh March 24th
Order Picked up April 21st
Built May 28th
Vin Confirmation June 9th

Here is a quick recap on my experience so far:

1st and foremost GMC Chat is a joke. Don't waste your time. there is to much conflicting data and they never give you the same answer. you get copy paste responses and when you press for data 9 times out of 10 they make things up.

I took one members recommendation and emailed Mary Barra to which she simply forwarded my email to the Executive Resolution Team. They claimed to have filed paper work to help expedite the shipping of my vehicle but proceeded to ignore any and all questions I had previously sent to Mrs. Barra. When I asked them directly I simply got the response that my dealer would have more information.

This has been a long, drawn out and frustrating process for me just as it has been for many of you and continues to be. Especially since I have seen 1st hand a buddy of mine order a F250 and get it in 4.5 months and a brother in law order a Dodge and expect delivery within the next two weeks on a similar time frame of 4.5 months.

I reached out to GMC chat this week as well as my contact at the dealership. GMC Chat - the waste of time - told me I was still waiting on a chip. I proceeded to give them the additional information I had received from Exec Referral Team and they said they don't have any of that information as their systems do not talk. My rep at the dealership and I had quite a bit of correspondence today and here is what I learned/partially already knew.

My truck was built in the Mexico facility. As of September 6th it has been switched to "Internal Invoice" & "Available to Ship" Status. Previous correspondence with GMC chat quoted me 8-12 weeks for shipping. I aske my rep and he said he has seen up to 8 weeks for delivery based on the status change. Although he couldn't say for sure as GM is now converting to transport via boat and not truck from the Mexico plant.

Assuming this data is correct the dealership could receive my truck at the latest November 1st. That's roughly a 7 month time frame from the time the order was picked up.

There are still plenty of what ifs to come and questions I have but they won't be answered until delivery is made. (Ex: Quality control, performance, financing, etc.)

I wanted to share what I have learned and know to potentially help others get to the finish line or limit some of the frustration. There is still no vehicle in my possession but at least I have a time frame to hold them too at this point.

P.S. I don't know if the Executive Resolution Team actually helped or if it is just coincidence that my truck is now available to ship.
 

Just sayin! If you go to gmc.com. There is a search engine for trucks. A frickin lot show in transit. But I looked at a lotta AT4x, from 71913, and all I found on lots ready to sell showed no markup. Good luck folks.
 

The executive resolution team told me Friday that they are still waiting for chips. Went to my dealer today and he looked on the computer and said my truck has been completed and invoiced and moved to the rail transport yard in Mexico on August 25th. Yet the team still is using their scripted response about the global chip shortage rather than actually looking up my truck. Dealer said when it gets on the rail car it will move to the GM staging area in New Richmond, Wisconsin and then go by truck to the dealer. Said 2 weeks to 2 months to get to the dealer. They just received 7 new Sierras- LTs and SLTs.
 

Sup guys. New here. This isn’t an order but figured you would find it interesting….Been searching for a 3.0L refreshed AT4 for a few months now with a dealer that accepts my GM supplier discount thru my company. Well today I finally got a dealer to accept it on an AT4 still in transit. It’s a black one with literally no added options. I’m a little bummed I won’t have a 360 cam or parking sensors but relieved at the price. $3800 off sticker and no dealer “add ons”.
I am however going to order the oem “high clearance steps” that come with the premium package. It’s like $1100 and I’ll roll it into the note.
Just wanted to share my experience. Paper says a build date of 8/30…..that is insane considering many of y’all’s have been built way earlier and you’re still waiting……..Truck arrives within a week or so, I saw on the map it traveled from up north somewhere (Indiana plant?). It’s just passing through DFW now. And I live in south Texas. Dealer said it’s expected 9/19

Wishing all of you luck whos trucks are still sitting in Mexico. Sounds like there may be a railroad strike that is only going to make this (and everything else) worse!
 

3.0 with standard bed
20” tires
Premium, safety, tech, preferred, cargo, sunroof, multi lights and audio
You are killing me over here. I got that without sunroof and 20" wheels and I'll be waiting until next spring at this rate. Mine was built end of May. So new builds are getting the chips that the old ones are missing. Just my luck.
 

Hey all! It is with some sadness that I have made the final decision not to take delivery of the ordered '22 that's incoming soon (I'm 99.99% sure I'm not taking it).

It's coming to a northern Nevada dealer that shall remain nameless until we can work something out. I was told it was in shipping status last week, but that it still wouldn't be delivered until November. Before I cancel the order, does anyone want to take it over? I'm sure I could work with the dealer to get it transferred to someone else. I have a commitment in writing there will be no dealer markup and they won't play games but who really knows if they stick to their word. I'd be willing to share a redacted build sheet privately if anyone is interested.

I have no commitment or obligation. Just $100 I put down to reserve in October 2021, but it has my name attached to it. I don't need anything from anybody on it. Just don't want to cancel it until I know for sure that the other truck I ordered is actually arriving in 2 weeks as I was told. Seems silly to let it go to inventory when all of you have helped me sort through the mess that GM is keeping me entertained and updated.

Why order a 2023 and be forced to not only wait for a year, but also be forced to pay $1,500 for crappy OnStar service that you don't want when you can take delivery of this one within 2 months from now (maybe?)?
 

Hey everyone. New here. Sounds like everyone is in the same boat as me. Although mine situation seems worse than most. Couldn’t be more frustrated with this whole process. Worst part is it seems like everyone could care less if you get pissed and walk away because they all make more money when you do. Not a lot of options. Price protection is only thing has kept me strung along this entire time. At this point my truck is a year outdated but worth more than when I ordered it.

i preordered my AT4 back in October of 2021. Order was finally placed around January 14th 2022. Accepted in April. It’s been built and produced since last week in May. So far it has been sitting in a lot in Indiana for last 4+ months waiting on chips. Like you all they keep sending me emails each week saying 8-12 weeks after production. I think I’m going on 15-16 weeks after production at this point. It’s utterly ridiculous. I was told I would have it in 4-5 months when I placed it with dealer. I understand that logistics are really hard these days. But it’s ridiculous they can’t find a way to more transparent on a $60k+ purchase from a consumer. Can’t send an invoice until the truck ships. Can’t finalize financing without an invoice. On and on and on.

I was told 3 weeks ago my truck was finally marked as “ready to ship” and as of today it hasn’t moved an inch. Still sitting in Indiana. If anybody has any ideas I would appreciate it. And now sounds like I might have some major quality control issues to deal with. Why on earth am i giving these people my money. This is my first gmc purchase. I really wanted it to be fun. It has been on the verge of miserable. I understand it’s rare circumstances but they just Havnt done a good job with customer relations through all this unfortunately. Frustrated.
 

well I ALMOST took delivery of my truck yesterday. Thanks to this forum i was on the lookout for some key problems. The main issue I found that I would recommend you look for, especially if getting a white one, is "rail dust." The truck looks beautiful and perfect from afar but when you get in close and look at the paint there are tiny rust specs ALL OVER the truck from the hot particles flying up from the rail and onto the paint. Today they are clay bar'ing it off and I should be able to pick up tomorrow!

The clean picture below is BEFORE (right?!) they fixed the rail dust. I just received the grainy photos from my salesman that the auto detailer sent him of what came out of the paint.

Is there a thread somewhere that shows what issues people have been dealing with on these trucks that have been sitting for so long. My truck has been sitting in Indiana since May. I’m hoping it’s shipping soon but would like to know what to look for.
 

Here’s the list I had to check for based on what I’ve seen in this forum

- rail dust
- how to pull fuse F11 in case forward collision alert error happens (or could be front camera if fuse pull does not resolve )
- test multipro tailgate top piece lock (by holding 3 seconds). My dealer says this will be a software update
- is bed aligned with cab on both sides?
- are front and rear bumbers evenly spaced on both sides
- are GMC/AT4/Sierra emblems on straight
- make sure 360 camera image is aligned (could be image module, not camera problem)
- door panels soft where you rest your elbow, may need to be replaced
