Order at dealer to GM acceptance time

[AXE]

If anyone is on the fence here is a good contender and it's available in the Black Edition. There is also a forum.

Plus great gas milage since that's number 1 priority for ZR2 purchases.

My uncle drives one and loves it I know a few retired guys driving them.

He also still drives my grandmas 1982 Datsun. That Datsun has done more work than most guy's 2500HDs, including hauling my dirt bikes in the mid 80s.

Maybe need one of these little Toyotas. I think this is a cool little rig. I think they'll sell a pile of them.

Don't me nervous. My HD has been perfect so far. Some have issues, most don't. Plus side is the HDs all come from the Flint plant vs all the 1500s come out of Mexico. Might not really matter, but personally I feel a little better about it.

I don't really think many problems with the trucks are related to assembly whether in USA, Canada, or Mexico. They are all working from the same playbook.

I think it's primarily with design/specifications, manufacturing of parts, and software. That's 95% of the problems reported, all this plastic trim, poor quality electronic parts, software problems are born well before the few hours that truck runs through assembly.

Parts are sourced from numerous vendors and I am not sure if they have a handle on QC. That's why you get bad lifters, crank bearings, and FPCM. Should be a slam dunk, but sometimes they miss the layups.

GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) term was coined in the early days of computing and remains a key factor in processes today.

That yota looks fun

For $10k, I buy one just to go to to the liquor store to stock up for my camping trips.

 

[securityguy]

I would buy one in a heartbeat!

You must have missed that flatbed! I put an air compressor and a welder on it and drive around like I mean business!

I would love one on the farm…cheaper than most side by sides these days and I could drive town if needed.

 

[ZR2BIZON]

Heres an electric one for the farm with a dump bed and even has a molested HD Silverado front end.

I actually bought a cheap electric pickup truck from Alibaba. Here's what showed up

Some readers may recall that a few months ago I bought a cheap electric mini-truck on Alibaba. I know this...

I've watched those videos. They do surprisingly well for the $. In this case, I think a SXS would be better.

 

[ZR2BIZON]

But can you put ZR2 emblems on the SxS?

 

[CHEAPSHOTLOU]

Going on 7 weeks now since the dealer accepted my order and waiting on GM to accept.

What is reasonable time for this step?

I ordered In NY Sept 15. GM accepted Nov 15. Received Feb 9th. All I can tell you. It's a waiting game. Absolutely love my 2024 ZR2 1500

Congrats on getting your truck.

If you’re on the East Coast, the dealership in Tampa has good inventory. My boss wanted to buy local and is playing the waiting game now. Placed his order early November and still no allocation.

 

[Ponce]

I ordered first week of November and picked mine up yesterday.

AL dealer came through with a good discount off MSRP. Picking up truck 3/1 for a little adventure drive home to AZ.

I’ve got an early March build date. Shouldn’t be too long now.

Dealer photo after side steps install (I prefer these over the auto retracting). Ready for pickup Friday. Dark Essentials on backorder so I'll swap out the badging later. CCC is just shy of 3k lbs.

Curious as to why?
