How long will the 2019s be on the lot?

[PickupMan]

I hope to be able to pull the trigger in March or April, and like the prices these days. Hopefully there'll be some Denali Ultimates left in Dark Sky.

First welcome to the forums! 

You may luck out but I don't know because the inventories have really dwindled in the last couple of months..

Thanks! I'm afraid you're right. Fingers crossed.

You will be rolling the dice at that point, not only on inventory, but also rebates and incentives.

 

In April the 20's will be getting "long in the tooth", and they will be inclined to start moving them in preparation of the 21's being on the way, so they may only have incentives for 20's and not 19's.

It's not available now, but a dealership in Indianapolis had a couple of 2019 Denali Ultimate's advertised for $51K a few weeks back.  It made me extremely jealous!

I could have easily bought numerous 2018 Denali Ultimates back in March 2019 when I bought my 2019 RST. 

 

It really depends on where you're buying. I'm in DFW, so there are trucks all over. 

 

As others noted, it's risky but very possible.

I feel like by that time, you’re getting down to the colors and options that nobody really wants. Already the case around here.
 

There was a lot of 2018s hanging around throughout the spring of 2019, but I think that’s because they were lame ducks on the old body style. A shopper deciding between a ‘19 and a ‘20 has an easier call because they are basically the same truck, the ‘19 is just a hell of a lot cheaper.

I'd wait until the rear windows stop leaking before making a purchase unless you live in AZ.

Are you sure that they were actually 18s? The first half of the year there was 19s that looked like 18s and went by the name Silverado LD, due to GM not being able to reach full capacity on the 19s to keep up with the demand.

And they were still building 2019 double cabs with 2018 style sheet metal long after the 2019 crew cabs were available.

Interesting. 

I haven't seen an 18 on the lots here since late spring.
