How long does it take to order a 2024 Chevy Silverado?
You can’t place a new order for a 2024 Silverado today; factory orders for that model year are closed. If you want a Silverado now, you’ll typically order the current model year or buy remaining 2024 inventory if any dealer has it. For a factory-order build of today’s Silverado, plan on several weeks to months from order to delivery, with typical timelines around 6–12 weeks, though certain configurations and supply conditions can extend that period.
Can you still order a 2024 Silverado?
In practice, the 2024 Silverado is no longer ordered as a new-build from GM. Most customers today must choose either remaining dealer inventory of 2024 models (if any are available) or place an order for the latest model year. The exact wait time depends on the chosen configuration, dealer slot availability, and production schedules.
Factory-order timeline for the current model year
The following outlines the typical process and timing when you place a factory-order for the Silverado’s current model year. Timelines can vary by dealer, region, and supply conditions.
- Consult with a Chevrolet dealer to understand current ordering windows, pricing, and incentives.
- Decide on a trim, cab configuration, bed length, drivetrain, and any options or packages.
- Submit the order through the dealer, who will enter the build into GM’s order system (Order Workbench or equivalent).
- Receive an order acceptance and an estimated delivery window from the dealer, based on production scheduling and backlog.
- Production begins when the build is allocated a slot; actual build time varies with demand and supply constraints.
- Vehicle completes production and is shipped to the dealer, then prepared for delivery and final paperwork.
- Delivery and pickup occur once the vehicle arrives at the dealership and all financing/titling steps are completed.
Concluding note: The overall timeline from order to delivery for a factory-ordered Silverado typically spans roughly 6–12 weeks, but some configurations—especially popular trims or high-demand options—can take longer if plant capacity is constrained or if shipping lanes face delays.
Alternatives for faster access
If you need a Silverado more quickly, consider these options. They can reduce wait time compared with a factory-order build for a new configuration.
- Purchase from dealer stock a new Silverado (current model year) that is already built and in inventory.
- Look for in-transit vehicles headed to dealers; these are already built and can arrive within weeks.
- Explore slightly used or certified pre-owned Silverado options, which may be available immediately or with shorter wait times.
- Consider a similar Chevrolet pickup (or a different trim with faster availability) if exact features aren’t essential.
Concluding note: Using dealer stock or in-transit inventory can dramatically shorten the time to ownership compared with a new factory order, though you may forgo some customization options in the process.
Summary
Key takeaways: Ordering a 2024 Silverado as a new factory build is not available today. For new purchases, you’ll typically pursue the current model year or rely on remaining 2024 stock if any exists. Factory ordering a Silverado generally runs about 6–12 weeks from order to delivery, with longer times possible for high-demand configurations or supply constraints. If speed is essential, buying dealer stock, seeking in-transit units, or choosing a nearby alternative can deliver much quicker results.
