Well I merged all the older ones into this one for some good historical reading...

Most of the older ones are located in Texas, California & Florida since that is where they were first sold to check on demand...
 
Well wheres a list of everyones build dates? The reason I'm asking is because I'm in the top 10 of highest mileage and I pretty sure have one of the earliest build dates as well. Not sure whether thats a good or bad thing haha.

I ordered my '02 LPM 4x4 on 4/10/2001 and it was built 6/07/2001, (frame date 06/01/01)
my '04 Z71 was built Dec 2003, (one of the last Arrival Blue made)

The earliest AVs sold were built in Feb or March 2001, they reached full production levels in late May.
The numbers below are sales, I'm unsure what the earliest delivery date was. 

April 2001: ?
May 2001: ?
June 2001: 3,516
July 2001: 5,186
August 2001: 6,015
September 2001: 7,639
October 2001: 12,915
November 2001: 8,661
December 2001: 8,306
January 2002: 6,634
February 2002: 8,369
 
My Avalanche was born on June 9, 2001, my b-day is June 9, 1965, I bought it new in Dec 2002 with 111 miles on it, how, and why it sat around for so long at a dealer's lot is a mystery, perhaps it was meant to be my truck!  149K on it so far...still loving it!

It's usually color and/or optional equipment included. Some buyers waited for the second model year, some waited for the WBH model to come out. The longer it sat there the longer it was likely to sit, might as well wait for the '03 with exact color/options you want unless the dealer will give a deep discount.

My 2002 AV 2500 4x4:

Frame build date is: 7/17/2001, Door Build date: 8/2001

Roughly 10-14 days from frame build to final assembly is about normal.  :B:

Add a week or two for summer shutdown in July or Christmas break,...

Parts plants strikes interrupted production at least once while Avalanche were built too.
