Ordered!

[LITEPHIL]

Been racking my brain between a Chevy 3/4 ton 6.6 gas or another 1500 5.3 with the NHT tow package but found out you can get the 1500 with the 3.0 Duramax this year with the NHT package. So we have a new refreshed 1500 RST Diesel,10 speed with the 9.5 3.73 rear end, heavy springs and shocks and a 12,900 lb tow capacity on order. It should be great towing 7,000 lbs.

I have always bought my trucks at invoice. The dealers get other monies when they sell a vehicle. the difference between invoice and sticker isn't really all that much.Plus there is no salesmen involved and no flooring on a special ordered vehicle.

Exactly, a great dealer who does not want to turn a profit. Who are they?

Invoice! Dealer didn't know how long but ordered Monday and messaged Chevrolet Thursday and they said it's heading for production. It's the fifth truck I'm buying from my dealer and they take care of me.

I hope they take care of you as you have no problem right now finding examples such as below and these clowns will not negotiate one dime. Ordered Monday you may see it in 6 months. It may be heading for production but it could be headed there for months, Headed for is not production. I was quoted 6-8 months on a GMC 3500 last week. GM is planning on shutting down plants again. But good luck with it.

That's $12K+ above sticker folks, and no negotiations, they'll laugh at you.

My deal is already done. I really don't care how long it takes but can you please show me where they are saying that more plants will be shutting down. Being here in Az, mine will probably come out of Mexico but keep in mind, Chevrolet makes money selling vehicles and I got my order in before the build configurer on the Chevrolet site was updated, so we'll see!

As it stands now, production of the refreshed 2022 Silverado and 2022 GMC Sierra will kick off at the GM Silao Assembly facility in Mexico on February 21st, rather than February 7th, as originally reported. Afterwards, production of the pickups will begin at the GM Fort Wayne Assembly facility in Indiana on March 14th, rather than March 6th.

Congrats on the new truck! I didn't know a lot about this setup, but after reading specs on 3.0, and reviews, I was impressed.

HP 277/TQ 460 and up to 30 mpg empty

Seems you got a great price too! 🙂

I had herd of many people getting 32-33 hwy but those all had 3.23 gears and mine with 3.73s and a little more weight probably won't do as well. But should still do ok

If the payload and tow rating are good, should be a nice option, particularly if non-towing is the bulk of miles.

I would be curious of the price difference for your 3 options.

I only built the truck with my dealer in two different configurations since the 5.3 wasn't orderable. I built it with the crew cab short bed and the double cab standard bed and the was around $3,000 difference. I settled on the crew cab. The payload is 1920 lbs with a 7,300 GVW.
I built every different option I could on the Chevrolet website but the refreshed 2022 1500 won't show up on the build configurer until next month.

^So do I.
I have about 25k miles on a 5.3/10speed. Trans is great, so far. Only complaint, if I had to find one, is either 9th or 10th seems pretty useless, as it only provides about a 150rpm split.
I think we’ve now hit about the practical limit for number of forward speeds. Honestly don’t notice much difference than the GM 8 speed or Dodge 8 speed, but all are a significant improvement over the 6 speeds that they replaced.
Wouldn’t hurt my feelers to have 3.73s behind my gasser though, if they offered it.

Congrats Litephil!
And 3.73s! That thing will pull hard!
Do they even offer 3.73 anymore with the gas engines?

5.3, 6.2 and the Duramax all come with 3.23 gears unless you get the NHT package and then the 5.3 and 6.2 get a 3.42 and Duramax gets 3.73s but my 2019 with the 5.3 and 3.23 8 speed has some deep gears and work pretty good but I'm thinking the little diesel 10 speed 3.73 will be fantastic!

[LITEPHIL]

Thank you all. It pays to continuously support the smaller dealers. Although I have to drive a couple of hours to get there,they have always given me my trucks at Invoice plus any other incentives and my earned cash on my GM card.

Curious how that price compares to a similarly loaded 2500 diesel.

I'm not positive if still true, diesel and 6.2 gas were ea MSRP about $1000 option. So for a 7-10k trailer, a better option than a 2500 if you keep you payload need under 2000-2200 lbs max. With that said, I've had 3500 in the bed of my truck hauling gravel and a pallet of wall block, handle worst than a 2500. But put a 2nd pallet in a 2500, both are about the same!
I've pulled 8500 with no handling issues either. My max generally speaking for any truck is 2-2.5x RA capacity.

The 6.2 is a little more but I think the little Duramax is the hot tip. I'll be towing between 6,000 and 7,500 lbs. The 2500 didn't make sense for me.

Congrats on the new truck. No need for a HD with a 7000 pound trailer. That 3.0 will be a perfect match.
