The GM Authority Take
The drop in Silverado sales during the previous three months is concerning, given the vast amounts of incentives offered by Chevrolet, which included a discount for 17 percent off MSRP or over $8,000 on select Silverado 1500 models. In comparison, sales of the Ford F-Series were up 12.8 percent to 76,027 units, while FCA’s Ram Pickup saw sales increase 16.3 percent to 44,850 units during the month.
As with the GMC Sierra, we assert that the decrease in Sierra deliveries during the past three months is the result of the vehicle being the oldest in the full-size truck segment, decreasing its competitiveness and overall appeal to truck buyers. As a result, a drop in sales of vehicles based on GM’s K2 platform like the Silverado can result in a decrease in GM’s profitability, which is highly dependent on truck sales in the U.S. market. However, the automaker’s profitability might not be impacted that much if GM is selling less vehicles at a higher profit margin. Either way, a replacement for the current K2-based Sierra is expected to launch for the 2019 model year.

BOO HOO !!!!!!
Poor Gm, can’t feel sorry for them at all…
$50,000.00 plus for a half ton pickup, are they serious????
Read my COMMENTS in the Sierra remarks….
Longest my A???!!!!
How long is longest??? The 2017 All Terrain I wanted to trade for last week, has been at the Dealer for close to THREE months now and the Dealer is stuck with it because it’s not on the LONGEST program.. So I’m keeping my 2014 All Terrain instead…
It has the chrome package, and came with special 20 inch wheels, the new one doesn’t offer chrome anymore and it has those baby 18inch wheels…
Not to forget it’s $2500.00 plus more money…. Mine stickered for $49,900.00 the 2017 stickers for close to $53,000.00 for less truck… Except for WIFI, which I don’t need or want to pay for anyway…
I can see why I see more and more TUNDRAS and that F word trucks running around up here in the high Desert these days….
Put more woman in charge General Motors, look at your sales figures, and what you have to offer us, even the new VETT, is in a class action law suite over it’s over heating problems, and sucker is $100,000, GIVE OR TAKE..
