I ordered a new work truck back in early March of 2022. it was early in the order window for the new interior redesign for GM on their half ton trucks.
March 3, 2022 was the date of order. I placed two orders that day. One, a new 2022 Chevy 1500 for me as a work truck, the other a new 2022 Chevy 2500 that would be my brothers work truck.
The 2500 HD was relatively basic, crew cab, with the standard 6.6 gasser. Not a lot of frills—bench seat, standard box, cloth interior. Simple. Delivery date on that one was late July 22.
Mine was a little more dressed. Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ package with leather seats, a couple up level adds, and I replaced the standard 5.3L gas engine with the 3.0L I6 turbo diesel motor. Seemed simple enough. Fast forward. Truck ordered March 3, 22. Built in Fort Wayne IN on August 11, 22. Finally delivered to a central Cheeseland dealer on January 23, 23.
if it hadn’t been for a couple specific adds, including color and engine, I would have cancel the whole deal and bought a different one months ago. Even went to look at a couple only to have them sold before I got there.
Today, I have 450 miles on it, towed my 23ft snowmobile trailer last weekend up north like it wasn’t there, and I had a professional detailed diamond coat and rustproof it right away.
Right off the dealer lot
After diamond coating
