How long does it usually take to build a truck before it arrives?

[Bigguy214]

I have a 2018 Silverado lt with 5.3 and the lease is up December of 2020.I want to get a 6.2 in the next truck and heard you can get them in the lower trim levels now.How long does it usually take to order a truck and actually receive it?I have never ordered a vehicle was wondering so it could coincide with me turning mine in or I am wondering how many 6.2 lower trim trucks would be on the dealer lots?I have 2 kids and the wife says a Camaro is not on the option list because we have a little pop up camper we tow but I want as close to the Camaro I can for the next few years when I daily drive lol.The 5.3 has plenty of power but Dad wants a healthy ride lol.

I am wondering the same thing. I ordered a 2020 Trail Boss on 11/25 with the 6.2 and I am not sure on how long it will take or how to check on it.

I ordered a basic Denali with 6.6 bed with a couple of options last spring and it took 3 months, it took almost 2 months to get a build date. and delivery about 2 weeks after build date , this was probably considered a special build for a long wheel base for the 6.6 bed crew cab

Over the years I have ordered many or I should say 5 of them, it takes on average 8-10 weeks to get it to the dealer. I have a 17 Silverado I was forced into because of an accident that I leased mine is up in April 2020 and I will be ordering a 2020 RST with the 6.2 and 10 speed transmission I need the extra HP. But back to the ordering like I said in a perfect world 8-10 weeks but I have waited 16 weeks. I am going to order my 2020 the 2nd week of January. I have built this truck on the GM family first site 5 or 6 times for me a $60,000 truck will be the most I have ever spent and will be my last I hope.

Some dealers can't get all the vehicles they would like.  They have to earn allocations.  Also if a option you want is on constrain, you will wait and wait.

 

DOSP - Dealer Order Submission Process

The weekly process consists of 4 stages.

1. Constraints Distribution - Dealers are informed on constraints to review before placing orders.  (A Constraint is a limit placed on specific build configurations.)

2. Dealer Order Submission - Dealers can order on Thursday, Friday or no later than midnight on Saturday. (You can submit orders earlier but you don't know the constraints.)

3. The 4-Pass Process - GM will attempt to place each dealer’s orders on Mondays using a 4-Pass process. (At this point a dealer may get more or less than was allocated, if they asked.)

4. Dealer Review - You can review your placed orders for changes or replacements until Tuesday at 9pm ET. That's when the orders are sent to production control.

For GMC, 6.2  available SLT, AT4 or Denali or above

For Chev it's  Custom Trail Boss, RST, LT Trail boss, SLt and HC.

 

(it skips over the non-trailboss version of the LT)

Thanks, I am hoping that it doesn't take too long. My lease is up in March and I know that I have time. I just want this truck and I am not leasing again. It just doesn't work for me anymore.
