I did months of research and found that at least here in Calif. The Chevy was more expensive than the GMC. It all had to do with options vs standard equipment.
After finding a great deal on the GMC shopped around a bit to see if I could get a better deal because my husband liked the Chevy grill look better.
The Chevy dealer came after me three times lowering their price and never even came close to the GMC. WHY???? Because the Overdrive Transmission was an option on the Chevy and standard equipment on the GMC. It also had the tow hitch big deal will buy one myself.
We have owned a 76 GMC Dually for the past 10 years and have never had to make a major repair.
I hope we have as much good luck with our new one.
www.webcarbook.com.....This is Chrome Data site and is very accurate. I have priced out a 2000 Silverado 2500, ext.cab., SB, 4x4 with all options except leather. My print out came out exactly as the Chevrolet Dealers, MSRP and Invoice. Good luck..I'm one of those poor guys that is just waiting until GM gets off their hands and start producing 3/4 tons.

This should get you into the right area. The other one won't let you in if you are not a dealer. I stumbled into this address by accident, and it is the one that many (if not all) dealers go to, to price out a car.
Luck to all. rshornsby
There is a tiny bit of vibration at idle, but you don't notice unless you are really looking for it. There is also a dimple on the tailgate under the handle, that I don't think I would even have noticed had I not done some bodywork and learned about making panels flat.
Otherwise I can find nothing wrong with it. I share my five year old's sentiment; it's awsome.
Anybody know of an aftermarket fix for this problem? GMC offered a locking handle as an accessory, but they have discontinued it. It's almost like they are trying to boost their replacement tailgate bussiness.
Pop lock also has a tailgate lock that just came out for the new style chevy, but it costs $50.00.
mid November. It was built in the 1st week of December and arrived on the 23rd. Am completely satisfied with the truck. No squeaks or rattles. However, am disappointed in that I thought we were getting an electrochromatic rear view mirror with the SLE package as it is stated in the brochure as standard equipment. But it didn't come with it and dealer says the brochure is incorrect and even has a disclaimer that says it might not be accurate. So learn from my mistake in not ensuring exactly what we were getting when ordering.
Have A Happy New Year with your truck, I can't seem to get one.

A good site to find all Optional Equip., Standard
Equip, etc..is www.autosite.com..This site lists all equip, and what it is avail. on. The other sites give you a printable listing of your order, priced out. I prefer ChromeDate simply because it is the one that the local dealer here uses to quote prices. Carwizard is same site, different name (slow loading for me). But both good.

This could explain the drop in mileage. I know I have lost 1-2 mpg on a tank but it is because I love to hear the sound of the 5.3L V8 with my foot almost to the floor. With 7000 miles - average of 15.5 mpg in combined city/highway driving (Houston traffic sucks) I average about 25 miles per hour calculated by dividing miles by the hour meter. I have an X-cab 4x4. My mileage has been down as low as 14 and as high at 18.6

$125 Processing fee
$260 Dealer Prep
$300 Profit
I'm using the dealer terms here. Now, I argued to no avail that the Prep and Processing fees are all part of profit and since this would be an order, the hold back of $760 would give them almost $1500 in profit. I haven't bought new in over 10 years and didn't pay all these fees before. I ended up leaving with no deal made. Does this look right/fair price? Thanks.
How long should it take?
looks to me same cab on heavier chassis should no be a problem to build this year.
GMC representative? thanks.
Only if you want the leather bench seat (SLE) or the nice all power (SLT) bucket seats. For the difference I would select the SLT.
Just my opinion.

a "Full Feature Bucket" listed as an option on a
particular truck (Sierra). Is this different name for the same buckets or something different? I have seen them called something else before.
1)AN3 (this is the seat standard on the SLT model). This is the "Full feature bucket seat", power 6-way seat adjusters, power lumbar, power seat back bolster, power seat back recliner & tilting head restraint. Dual heated seats & memory on the driver's seat.
2)A95 (this is the optional seat on the SLE model). This is the high back bucket seat. Leather trim includes the 6-way seat adjusters. Manual lumbar & manual recliner.
* both AN3 & A95 include full lenght overhead console & floor console.
3)AE7 (this is also optional on the SLE model). This is the 40/20/40 split bench seat. Leather trim includes the 6-way seat adjusters. Manual lumbar & manual recliner. Folding center bench that will function as armrest with stowage provisions. Includes mini roof console.
I hope that answers any questions!
