2024 2500/3500 Build and order status

Ok so I called and got some info. My build was put into the system and waiting for GM to pick it up. I asked how many were in front of me she said about 50! Whoa.....but she also said that when they pick up the orders they pick up a large chunk at a time. Again I am saving a lot of money this way so I am happy waiting....sorta. Thats what I tell myself anyway.

Does this all sound accurate in your experience?

Thursdays are order days per GM. So if they do end up picking up a large chunk yours could get accepted by GM within a a few weeks or sooner. It all depends on what you ordered/what allocations they have.

I have had to order a few different time (long story) and 1st took 2 weeks to get accepted, 2nd one never got accepted and the last one got accepted 3 weeks later due to holiday and dealership screw up.
 

With the looming auto workers strike and guesses as to how this will affect the prices on the 2025s?

geez, I hope I can avoid all of that. I am worried about this looming strike and how that will affect things.

Hopefully you are not effected by the looming strike.

I know they have been low on parts so things have been getting left off of random orders (I was hit with that news when mine was built after the fact). Dealership verified that and said a few others were coming in missing stuff too. Only way to get said parts is to do another order but I'll just go aftermarket instead of trying to order again.

I'd say give it a week or two and then go ask manager or someone if they can tell you anything. I had to wait 2 weeks for mine to get accepted by GM.

Did your dealers at least enter your order into GM Workbench and give you a copy? This is event code 1100 and while it doesn't mean much until your dealer gets an allocation and pairs it with your order, it can provide you price protection in case GM raises the prices before your truck is delivered. For the Love of God I cannot understand why some dealers won't/don't do this, but it seems like more often than not, dealers don't want to do this. And price protection is set by GM, but dealer "participation" is optional, so perhaps the correct question for the dealers is "do you all participate in price protection?"

My local GMC dealer wanted $20,000 over MSRP to order a 2500 AT4X HD, I found a dealer out of state to work with and will be happy to drive 1,100 miles to get it. I'm on hi list for the AT4X HD, though. No 1100 order in GM Workbench because they apparently don't know/care/or participate in GM price protection. Whatever, their discount more than makes up for it, the problem is, much like the C8 Z06 list that most dealers aren't even accepting further deposits for, I have no idea that I'll get an allocation but my dealer has to be one of the top GMC dealers in the Nation, so I'm anxiously waiting just to place my order! Dealers usually get allocations from GM on Thursdays and have to have everything they are offered in the computer by Monday night.

I placed an order for a MY24 Ford Super Duty King Ranch Powerstroke Tremor last week before seeing a video on the new AT4X HD and deciding that is what I would probably prefer, but I don't have a lot of hopes that Ford will even build it due to how things for MY23 worked out. (Everything was hard to get, top three trim levels, Tremor package, etc.) Ford's X-plan pricing is a great deal that anyone can get if you know what you're doing, and blows most GM dealer and available programs out of the water at GM.

Time will tell if I made the right choice but I pulled the plug on my order and bought one off the lot. My thinking is that there will be a strike and it has the potential to really screw with things, if not create a big delay. Given the timeline there's a good chance it could be a really long time before my order got pick up. It was already looking like a 4-6 month wait....and after that we will be getting into the 2025 model year, my order would get kicked back yada yada.

So rather then risk all that and a potential headache I got my second color choice sterling metallic. It took some work to find one though!

Nothing wrong with that. As long as you got the bulk of what you wanted and needed.

I did. My build never included the smaller specific things so it wasn't to hard to find one. I justified the sterling metallic by knowing that I am not good about washing and waxing and silver being easier to maintain then red.

I've owned both silver (Ram) and black (Chevy) trucks and silver is definitely easier to maintain. However, I can't help but love a blacked out truck, so that's what I went with ('24 3500 AT4). Just awaiting delivery to the dealership.....supposedly next week (fingers crossed).

Mine was built first week in August and has been sitting ever since. This waiting game is killer, hope you get yours soon!
