2022 New Colors

Tomato · July 11, 2021

I made the decision to order a new truck. Stepping back to a 2500 gas this time, as I am just tired of dealing with DEF and all of the surrounding issues along with the stupid price we pay for diesel in Commie-Fornia. I sold our Fifth wheel and just don't need the DRW or the diesel anymore. Also, it will be nice having a truck my wife can drive when necessary.

So...Does anyone have the scoop on the new Forest and Hunter Metallic paints? Color was the biggest challenge when I ordered my 2020, as I wanted something close to my 2015s Iridium. Some of the new colors were nowhere to be seen when I ordered. Turned out Carbon Black was close to Iridium (looks like it was only 20/21 models) which I love on this truck. All I see for 2022 HDs are Onyx Black, Summit White, White Frost, Pacific Blue, Quicksilver, Cayenne Red, Ebony Twilight, Forest Metallic and Hunter Metallic.

From what I can find, the Hunter is a green. Is the Forest Metallic green as well??? Is the Ebony Twilight "dark" black - maybe the super metallic black they had in years past on Cadillacs?

Thanks in advance for any insights

IMO No. I seen the Cadillac black, it was called "Black Diamond", a 3 stage paint and $995 option. I seen one in that color in person, was a great black and heavy metallic.

I looked at a 2021 Denali with color Ebony Twilight Metallic and IMO it was nowhere close.

Here is Ebony Twilight, IMO is just Onyx black with normal metallic.

Appreciate it. So I'll mark that one as "dark" black. I hope they didn't just delete the dark gray like my Carbon Black...

Ordering my 21 here is my thoughts. You have to pay extra for a lot of paints now, even regular ones. GMs paint offerings are the least of the big three.

My biggest issue with GM when ordering is say you order the sport package you could only do it in like white black, blue. And same with the sport chrome. The premium colors such as the premium white and premium red, you couldnt add any packages to

I ordered a '22 Chevy 2500HD Crew Cab 8' bed. I wanted a 2021 in the Oxford Brown, but, alas, that color is discontinued. I opted to be a little different and went with the replacement color: "Greenstone Metallic." GMC has the Hunter Metallic on their site for the Denalis, but I think that the Greenstone is going to be a more "green" color than the Hunter. We shall see. I have not seen it on any site yet! Has anyone else seen that color?

I was able to get a build week for my truck today. Looks like it is scheduled to build the week of Aug 2. Anyone have any good idea how long it might take for delivery after it is built from Flint to Dallas? I know there are a lot of factors to be considered, but, well you know, I'm a bit anxious for it to be done!

I can say my '20 DRW took about 5-7 days to build once it hit the factory floor, and then only 7-days to get to my dealer in CA. Should be pretty quick barring any delays.
