New GMC/Duramax

[adirondak5]

Traded in the F250 gasser on a GMC 3500HD 4x4 Standard Bed CC Duramax 10 speed Allison . Got a few other packages with it too , fifth wheel prep pkg , preferred pkg . off road and protection pkg , value pkg and still more . Picked it up and brought it home Monday . Got a good price for the F250 as that only had 28000 miles on it so saved a good bit on sales tax . Had a B&W companion for Ford pucks in the F250 so had to order a new base for that , the top hitch plate is interchangeable between bases . Truck rode great on the way home , plenty of zip , the Allison shifted very smoothly . Can't wait to see how it pulls the 278BH .

Awesome truck. Congrats. I love my new 2022 Sierra 3500 LB AT4 D-Max to pieces. The ride, comfort, power, and interior design are over the top. It pulled my 40' Keystone Montana like nothing up the CO mountains. Our new Reflection is much lighter, and the truck doesn't even break a sweat. Love the 10-speed and the interior noise levels too. You will love it!

That' s good to hear . I was surprised at the quietness and the ride quality when I drove the truck home . Going down the New England into NYC and across the Throgs Neck was actually a pleasant ride and in the old truck it was like riding a wash board . Your long bed probably rides even smoother than the standard bed .

I am looking at Silverado and Sierra 3500 HD models since Ford can't seem to get me a build date on a new 2023. There seem to be a lot of 2023 GM trucks hitting the lots in just the last couple of weeks.
Looking at a new Chevy LTZ with the Duramax, 4x4,crew cab ,standard bed, front buckets, fifth wheel pckg, off-road pkg, 12,100 lb GVWR, etc. No moon roof. Payload sticker shows 3895 lb. They are advertising a $2000.00 dealer discount off MSRP as well.
Have not owned a GM product since 1977, but looks like that might change!
adirondak5...if you don't mind me asking; were you able to get much of a discount on your new Sierra? Seems to vary from dealer to dealer.

I did not get any discount , around these parts a truck in stock usually goes for more than a truck thats ordered , unless there is a manufacturer discount , but I did get $1000 package discount right on window sticker . They did want about $4000 over sticker when I first started talking to them and then they came down to sticker price . I did get a pretty good trade in for my old truck which I bought used in 2020 , they gave me $1000 less than what I paid for it so I did get the tax savings making the deal a bit sweeter . In my local area it seems used trucks cost as much as new and new trucks are just few and far in between . Good luck with your search , my last GM vehicle was in the 80's , I am quite pleased with the new one as I'm sure you will be too.

I know here in CO that the deals vary from dealer to dealer. Some of my friends were being quoted up to $10K over sticker for their new Chevys. I told the GMC dealer who I have dealt with many times---I won't pay more than sticker and I didn't for my 2022 just one year ago. I ordered my truck through the local GMC dealer and rec'd it 8.5 weeks later. During that time...I was able to broker a deal to sell my current truck (2017 Sierra 3500 with 40K miles) for $9K more than I had just paid for it 3 years ago. The used market is hot and I was able to leverage that and get myself a great deal on what I then paid for the new 2022 GMC 3500 AT4. Good luck with your deal. You will love the truck. I know I do!

Very nice truck. I currently have a 2024 GMC Denali Duramax 3500HD DRW on order, Onyx Black over Jet Black, to tow our future 351MS.

Not sure what the GMC equivalent to LTZ is but AT4’s and Denali’s are $6500 off. SLT’s are $4600 off.

I dealt with a Will Harshbarger.

Interesting on the prices...I just looked online and used the configurator to build a new model of my 2022 Sierra AT4 for 2024. The MSRP shows ~$7K more than I paid for mine. I don't think there's truly a discount....just more of those discount sales gimmicks.....Lol

Thanks for the link....I believe GMC's SLT is equivalent to Chevy's LTZ. At least an SLT on the Laura website looks almost identical to an LTZ I'm looking at in Phoenix. Same equipment as well other than the chrome steps, lane alert, and TPMS. About $6000 higher MSRP though.....the dealers discount does help offset that.
My deal is I am a South Dakota resident for a reason....to save on taxes! Some dealers/municipalities will send you out the door with a temp tag and charge no local/state taxes knowing you will be getting it titled/registered in SD, but others are required to collect state and/or local taxes. For example, Tomball Ford in Tomball TX assured me there would be no local taxes on my 2023 Super duty order, but Ford can't seem to build a truck anymore, so it's time to look elsewhere. But when I bought the new Solitude in Mesa, AZ they had to collect county tax, no AZ state tax. And getting an answer up front on what taxes will be is like pulling teeth until you get the right person. I'll be making that call here in a bit.

SD rate is a flat 4% while AZ is over 8%.....makes a difference on a $70-80K purchase!
