General Motors (GM) has opened a few models to free flow ordering for fleet accounts until 1/26/2024. The final fleet orders for 2024 are due on the same date.
The following units can be ordered without allocation:
Blazer
Malibu
Silverado LD Crew
Silverado LD Double Cab
Silverado SD Reg. Cab
If you need any of the above-listed units, please inform your account executive, and they can place the order for you. In case you're considering switching to EV for some of your fleet, GM accepts orders on Blazer EV, Equinox EV, and Silverado EV.
Please follow the link below to learn more about these units and schedule a meeting with the GM EV specialist.

2025 Fleet orders should open in late February or early March. Your account executive will get in touch with you to schedule an in-person meeting to review your 2024 plans and discuss your vehicle needs. GM will stick to the two-wave system of orders, with wave 1 delivered before the end of 2024 and wave 2 delivered by summer 2025.
For smaller companies that don't have a fleet account, GM is still not accepting sold-order units. If you don't have 15 units in your fleet, we can work with GM's commercial representative and stock allocation to find you the best vehicle.
Ford also does a free-flow order bank on the fleet side, with all fleet accounts allowed to place five orders per quarter. Ford HD and Transit Vans are still in high demand and harder to get. Planning is critical to getting the vehicles you need. Ford has not yet given open dates for the 2025 fleet orders.
Fleet 2024 orders are still accepted, and the order banks are free-flow. The ProMaster plant was shut down towards the end of December 2023 and is starting back up with production later this month. ProMaster, 4500, and 5500 chassis are the highest-demand units in the Ram lineup. Ram is watching for customers with fleet accounts to order units using only the fleet order system. For fleet-ordered units, Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks' lead time is around 12 – 14 weeks.
*RAM has not released any dates for the 2025 fleet orders.*
ProMaster City:
The last of the ProMaster City units have been delivered to dealers' lots, and this inventory is quickly being sold. Many customers are asking about the replacement unit. We are working with our up-fitters to build Pacifica and Voyagers vans for commercial customers. We are adding bulkheads and cargo floor mats to these units. We also can work with our vendors to cover up the rear and side windows on the vans. We can still retail sold orders for smaller accounts that don't have a fleet account.
ProMaster:
The New Super High Roof ProMaster is available for order by fleet and retail. It could be an excellent fit for your company if you need more volume in your next van.
