Default dont trust gm

got phone call from gmc dealer about my truck i ordered 5 weeks ago. seems as though gm has decided not to build it. the bitch is they never notified the dealer and just let us both hang out to dry. they want me to buy a 2011 when they start making them again. what good is that when i have a new trailer sitting in driveway. so to the management of gm eat s and die. youll put gm into bankrupcy for sure.

That happened to me way back in 1977. I ordered a new black\black Camaro. Same exact sh.. except my dealer never ordered it and that manager was fired. To make up for it, they gave me the first 1978 (new model year) to hit Jax...black on black, but at 1977 invoice price. That made up for months of dickin around !!

Are you sure that it wasn't the dealership that pulled this just to get you to take a 2010 that they had sitting on the lot?
Of the seven vehicles (three of them being GM/Chevrolet) that I've ordered brand new over the years, I've never had a problem like that with the ordering system...but then again I literally walked (more like hounded LOL) my salespeople through the process with phone calls, faxed copies and proof that the order was accepted during the days/weeks following my initial order.
I'm practically obsessed when it comes to ordering a car.

This is such

Sorry to hear this bad news, Marshall - that is messed up!

Did you see if they would produce the same thing for you in a newer model (2011)? Would the rebates and stuff apply if you did?

I'd put any Cummins, Duramax or Ford diesel up against that for pulling power.
Hell, I'd bring my F350 gasser to that test.

That being said, Ford, until now has made some of the slowest, gas piggiest trucks known to mankind.
But, they will pull down a house and tow it uphill.
