Trade a new Chevrolet Silverado HD dealer to dealer
Can I trade a new Chevrolet Silverado HD with another dealer? Yes. List the unit on Locates.io, or search for the exact build you need, and the other dealer stays anonymous until both of you sign. Locates.io sets the terms and runs the paperwork, money and freight. Selling is free; the buyer pays $199 per unit, one time.
Why do dealers trade the Silverado HD?
The Silverado HD is a heavy-duty pickup. Heavy-duty trucks are bought for a job, so a customer often needs one specific configuration and will not substitute. That makes an exact-build search worth more than waiting on allocation. A trade turns a carrying cost on one lot into a sale on another.
What decides whether a Silverado HD matches?
Single or dual rear wheels, diesel or gas, cab and bed configuration, and trim decide the match. Locates.io searches on those attributes, so a buyer finds the exact build and a seller reaches only dealers who want it.
| Attribute | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Rear axle | Single or dual rear wheels |
| Powertrain | Engine and drivetrain option |
| Cab and bed | Cab style and bed length |
How does a Silverado HD trade work?
Five steps: list, match, agree, sign, then deliver and settle. See how it works for the full walk-through. Until both dealers have signed, each sees only vehicle attributes, a freight region, a distance band and an anonymous profile. Names, addresses and VINs are released in the signed agreement.
What does it cost to trade a Silverado HD?
Selling is free. The buyer pays the platform fee: $199 per unit, one time, never monthly, and only when a trade happens. Freight starts as an estimate range, not a quote. At terms, the buyer's freight charge is the carrier's quote split per unit plus Locates.io's flat $75 a unit, and it is locked from then on. Buyer pickup has no freight charge.
