"
Back in April 2023, General Motors officially revealed the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 as the ultimate off-roading offering for Bow Tie brand’s heavy-duty pickup lineup. Now, with production kicking off this month at the GM Flint plant in Michigan, GM Authority has learned the pricing details of the Silverado HD ZR2 and Silverado HD ZR2 Bison.

As of August 14th, 2023, the Silverado HD ZR2 will boast a starting MSRP of $72,595 when equipped with the standard 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine, and a starting price of $82,095 with the available 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine. Meanwhile, the Silverado HD ZR2 Bison starts at $81,830 with the standard 6.6L V8 L8T engine, and at $91,220 with the optional 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine."


I know how much I spent to get build my 04 with icon Stage 3, 33(s), the regear, Detroit in the rear, etc. I really appreciate when things are just ready to go these days, and I can just spend time using it instead of building. I eventually got my 04 where I wanted it, but it took years and is now at 288k miles. Sure, very thing is a tradeoff. And trucks are terribly expensive these days. I look forward to hearing how they do, and finding a Gen 2 slightly used..

Seems that the 1500 Zr2 is struggling to sell. It will be interesting to see how this does but my guess is not very well. 70-80k for a pickup is just not attainable for most folks and they aren't soooo much better than a z71 or trail boss.

It'll be interesting to see how the vehicle market plays out the next few years.

I'm hoping the AT4X HD pricing falls in line with that. Hoping I can grab a 2500HD AT4x for my next truck.

It is crazy how expensive they are, the sticker on my work special 2022 Duramax is 64k

The days of paying sticker (or over) are over.
We’re already seeing this in other segments of the market. Bikes, guns, jewelry, etc are all being heavily discounted right now.

Get ready for pre-Covid 15-25% off MSRP pricing to come back. No way people are buying these at $80k.

"the Silverado HD ZR2 can conventionally tow a maximum of 18,500 pounds when equipped with the 6.6L L5P diesel, and boasts a maximum payload of 3,397 pounds when equipped with the 6.6L L8T gasser. Notably, the maximum towing ratings are for both “regular” and Bison models, while the maximum hauling figure only applies to the “regular” HD ZR2.

These ratings stack up very nicely compared to the Ford and Ram offerings. Both the F-250 and F-350 Tremor pickups can tow a maximum of 18,200 pounds, while the Ram Rebel has a maximum towing rating of 16,870 pounds.

However, in terms of payload, the Blue Oval outdoes the Bow Tie off-roader with a maximum hauling capacity of 4,175 pounds. Meanwhile, the maximum Ram payload rating is 3,140 pounds."

While I paid under sticker for my current truck I hate to share that sticker if y'all think $80K is up there haha. I do agree that the cost of these trucks has gotten insane. I too look forward to the return of the days when you would get $8-12K off of sticker and even your average dealer would have 40+ trucks in inventory at any given time.

 

[PirateMcGee]

Considering $80k is around the median household income I would say $80k is a lot of money no matter how you cut it.

Stuff is worth what people will pay but the bells and whistles upcharges don't seem like very good value to benefit lately and the record industry profits show it.

I am not denying that, but it's sadly where the market has been allowed to move. While we might see the return of deep factory rebates and dealer discounts here soon, you won't be seeing the MSRP of vehicles dropping.

The tech in these vehicles alongside of the growing demand for increased fuel economy and constantly tightening emissions presses the industry for constant growth and R&D in those areas which the manufacturer passes on to the consumer via higher prices. There's a lot more crap standard on these vehicles than there was just 10 years ago and while many of us would prefer to live without it, it does add value. A wise man once said, "price is what you pay, value is what you get."

I hear the argument for increased costs due to regulation but at the same time I see record profits for the industry so I'm not sure it fully explains it. Majority of the price creep correlates pretty closely with the increased availability of longer financing terms along with the normalization/acceptance of those terms. 36 was the norm then 48 then 60 and now 72.

 

[ExpoMike]

Yeah, truck pricing (and many cars in general) has gotten insane. 80K truck, 72m financing at 6.5% = what my mortgage payment is (the P and I part). I will never end up buying another new truck.

Agreed. My 3500 will likely be my last new purchase. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore. Not at current prices.

If the UAW strikes you can rest assured those prices will only increase, even if they don’t there will be a cost burden to bear because they think they deserve $50/hr to work on assembly line doing mindless work.

Hell I’m seeing people take 96 months on a vehicle these days, it’s absurd.

Devaluing the US dollar aggressively has consequences. I'll ride out my $39K 2020 Tundra as long as I can. After that I won't be getting anything new.

I thought of this thread today when I saw this brand new GMC. Gotta make the payments somehow. 😂😂🤣🤣
