Well today makes 4 months exactly since we put down the deposit and ordered our new Silverado. It has been sitting 175 miles from here in a railyard for more than a week and they supposedly won't let the dealer come get it! The dealer has actually gotten some additional incentives from GM for our trouble since they were the idiots that pulled a SOLD truck out of delivery que for several QC inspections...bet they won't do that again!

GM did exactly the same thing with the 2011 GMC that we ordered. They wouldn't tell me how long it would take or how invasive the inspection would be. Another nearby dealership had an identical truck ordered and I had them work a trade. GMC threw in a 6 months extension of OnStar for the inconvenience.Well today makes 4 months exactly since we put down the deposit and ordered our new Silverado.

We ordered the 3500 DRW Silverado LTZ CC in Ruby Metallic with sun roof, driver alert package, tow package, bed liner, curt 24k hitch, heated/cooled seats, side steps and step rails, LED bed lighting, etc...can't remember everything off the top of my head, but don't think we missed much...LOL!
But get this...dealer placed the order and when we went over the specs of what they built way back on 9/3...we discovered that GM screwed up and installed a rear entertainment system, which we did NOT want, nor did we order. GM is eating that cost of course!!

Dan, the problem we had in this part of Texas...they don't stock duallies... and definitely not ones as dressed out as we wanted. Ordering was our only option.

My truck sat in a rail yard for almost 3 1/2 weeks. Luck of the draw when it comes to ordered units.
