Huge discount near end of year as 2020 come out.

I bought in Q3, and the dealer was HIGHLY motivated to sell.  I was cross shopping the F150, and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse and never even went to the Ford store, I texted the guy I was working with at the Ford store that I wouldn't be coming within about 60 seconds after the Chevy dealer gave me and I accepted their offer.  There must have been some volume and model bonuses going to the dealers to make sure it happened.

The discounts are crazy and easy to come by. When you can get a full size truck with a mid level spec for less than a V6 Camry, they will sell. It's a lot of metal for the money.

 High sales of trucks.....that will mean alot more complaints for the front diffential noise that they don't know how to fix. Along with all of the other issues. Do not buy one with the SU4 American Axle unless you want to listen to a noisy front differential.

People are still driving them off the lots today having issues.most complaints are on the   LT,LTZ,RST. only see one complain on the trailboss.  Any model with the SU4 American Axle. The SU5 is a GM axle and does not have the Noise issue. There is a big thread on this forum under troubleshoot  under "jingle,jingle"  I have a RST build date 4/27/19 and started hearing noise at 400 miles. Build sheet will tell you what axle you have. Been to two dealers and have a GM advisor. Truck has other issues. Not happy with this Silverado or GM

Where was your truck built?  Is it based on trim or body style? I have a Double Cab and have the SU5 axle.

2019 RST 4x4 Crew built in Silao MX with SU4 front axle.  Build date 3/14/19 About 1K miles and no problems yet.....knock on wood.

[MacLaren]

Man, that makes sense.

When I bought mine on June 29th,( LT Crew Cab Silao MX 3/29/19) I knew of only 1 other in the county.

Now, theres a lot! 

Man, when people start getting a few miles on these new T1's, they're gonna quickly realize Chevy absolutely killed it!!

I'm getting 23.5 mpg around my county. Country 2 lane roads. Not to mention how quick and fast they are, plus taller and bigger.....yeah, sales will only get better and better and better imo.

Here is my build sheet data, obtained from QR Code Reader on the door and google look up.  I don't see either SU5 or SU4???

That is nowhere near a complete list. Email [email protected] with your vin to get the whole deal.

 

My SU4 has been silent for 8k+...but I don’t think that’s what this thread was supposed to be about. I guess everything turns into a complaint department around here...

Hmmm, I don't have any noise on my TB and no real complaints either (I do lament sarcastically sometimes and commiserate with others that do the same) about the options afforded the Custom Trim, but the price was right considering all of the exterior off-road aspects and the new body design which is industry leading.  Way ahead of the pack.  That plus the gloss black spoke wheels, Goodyear mud tires,  2-in lift, Z71 package, 5.3V8,  Price of $37.5K was a bargain. 

 

Just curious about what "B.R." said on this SU thing.  The GU6 is my axle type, there is no SU, and the AC Delco lists show SU as a suspension type?

 

Appreciate the email, I will send.

Is that actual hand calculated mpg? or Computer readout?
