April 2023: Rivard advertised just shy 50 HD 2500/3500 trucks at well below MSRP. I called and spoke with a salesman, Dave Hurley, regarding two of the 2500HDs in the advertisement. Everything was good More

All GM vehicles pass federal emissions standards. We are not familiar with CA emissions standards as we are located in Tampa FL. As the only dealer giving big discounts on HDs almost all of our allocation is spoken for before it hits the ground. If you would like to order a unit, the same discounts you see online would be applicable to your specific order. We are the largest dealer in the SE and 2-time dealer of the year unfortunately that leaves us with more customers than vehicles. IF you are patient we can get you what you want at the advertised priced.
