When can 2024 Silverado be ordered?
The 2024 Silverado cannot be ordered today; Chevrolet ended 2024 model-year orders well before the current year, and any remaining units would be sold as dealer stock. For a new Silverado now, you would order the latest model year available (typically 2025 or newer) or buy from dealer inventory if a leftover 2024 is still on the lot.
Understanding why this matters requires a look at how auto manufacturers manage model-year windows: order books open for a new model year months before production begins, then close once allocations are set. For the 2024 Silverado, that cycle closed years ago, but some dealers may still have leftover inventory. The following sections explain what happened and what buyers can do today.
Timing and availability for the 2024 Silverado
In the United States, Chevrolet typically opens orders for a new model year several months before production and closes the ordering books once the allocation process is complete. For the 2024 Silverado, those orders were opened in 2023 and closed by late 2023 as Chevrolet prepared for the next year’s production cycle. Some markets or specific trims might have had different cutoff times, but by 2024 most new-order activity for that model year had ended.
What does that mean for buyers?
Dealers may still have unsold 2024 Silverado inventory into early 2024, but new orders directly with Chevrolet for 2024 models are no longer accepted. If you’re shopping now, you’ll typically be looking at the current model year (2025 or newer) or remaining 2024 units in dealer stock, if any exist.
Below are practical ways to navigate the situation if you’re researching a 2024 Silverado or exploring alternatives.
Dealers sometimes have old-model-year leftovers; use these steps to check availability and navigate buying options.
- Check local Chevrolet/GM dealer inventories online and in person for “2024 Silverado” or “leftover” stock, noting any additional fees or pricing.
- Call ahead to confirm whether a dealer can locate a 2024 Silverado or if they’re only offering current-model-year units.
- Explore fleet or business inventories, which sometimes include older model-year trucks that haven’t moved through retail channels.
- Consider a certified pre-owned 2024 Silverado if a new-order is not possible or if you’re open to slightly used condition with factory-backed warranty.
Leftover 2024 Silverado inventory, if any, is typically limited and may include dealer-installed options or varying pricing. It’s wise to contact multiple dealers to compare availability and pricing.
For most buyers today, the recommended path is to align with the current model-year lineup or to wait for the next refresh or new generation, rather than pursuing an order for the 2024 model year.
Alternative paths for Silverado shopping today
The standard options for buyers who want a Silverado now are listed below to help you proceed without chasing an outdated model year.
- Order the latest model year offered by Chevrolet (usually the 2025 Silverado or newer) with your preferred configuration through a dealer.
- Check for current incentives, promotions, or fleet programs that might apply to the newest Silverado models.
- Configure a truck online using Chevrolet’s Build and Price tool and then contact a dealer to place the order, acknowledging that you’ll be selecting the current model year only.
- Explore certified pre-owned or gently used 2024–2023 Silverado units if you specifically want the 2024 style or features but cannot obtain a factory-order truck.
These options reflect the market reality today: the 2024 order window is closed in most regions, and buyers should focus on current-year products or verified leftovers if any remain.
Summary
Order timing for the 2024 Silverado followed the standard auto-industry pattern: open for a new model year well before production and close when allocations are set. By 2024, Chevrolet had stopped accepting new orders for the 2024 model year, and any new-purchase activity today centers on the latest model-year Silverado (2025 or newer) or on existing dealer stock of that year if available. Always check with your local dealership for the most current inventory and ordering options, as regional variations can occur.
