I'm going to order one tomorrow since they'll let me order it and see if I like it for no money down. I've bought a lot of vehicles from them, so they said no biggie so long as I don't order some crazy color. If I don't like/want it for any reason they'll just sell it to the next guy in line. I'm waiting to see final pricing. I've heard from one dealer that it won't be bad and from another that it'll be a lot more expensive. So, price alone could end up being the deterrent on taking delivery of the truck. GM hasn't even given allocations yet to my dealer!

New 2011 HD trucks head for dealers;
Duramax engines are options
The first, Flint, Mich.-built Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks are on the way out to dealers, General Motors has said.
The first truck is headed to Rodas Chevrolet in Strawberry Point, Iowa, a town of 1,400, GM said in a statement Tuesday, May 25.
...
“We’re in a rural community out here. Ninety percent of buyers are pulling a trailer of some kind,” Dan Paris, co-owner and general manager of Rodas Chevrolet, said in GM’s announcement. “We have guys that are definitely watching this one coming. I don’t think it’s going to take very long” to sell the first truck.
A second truck, a red crew cab, is headed to Sunset Chevrolet in Sumner, Wash., which has a population of 8,500, GM said.
