Did GM stop taking orders for 2021 Yukons?

I’m trying to think of what else compares in terms of similar size and price. Maybe the Ford Expedition?

Don't let a few bad experiences scare you off, these are the trucks to buy currently in the full size SUV category. When the 2022 expedition comes out, that might change but for 2021 nothing compares to GM. If you want reliability get the Sequoia, but it's almost the same price and is a 10 year old platform, has an extremely outdated cabin, gets worse gas mileage, tows less, less features, etc.

I really cannot think of anything if you're specifically referring to the Denali. Ford interior seems like a step down. QX80 lacks the tech. Everything else is priced way up there (Lexus LX, Caddy, Lincoln).

Sounds like the Sequoia is getting a total redesign for the 2022 model. I am excited to see it along with the Grand Wagoneer. Not sure yet if we are going to replace our 2021 with another Tahoe or not yet. I just wish Covid would go away so the makers would show off their new stuff at auto shows

If you can wait, wait. I've had a 2016 F150, which had basically the same interior as the current Expedition and it was extremely low quality. I've had 2 Grand Cherokees and a 2019 Ram, so from experience I can't image the Waggoner being less reliable than these Tahoe/Yukon's. Just wait a little to see what the competition will offer soon, if you can.

The problem with the JEEP's is they've been promising these for going on 3 years... By the time they actually get built, you can actually order one, and put it in your garage... could easily be 1 yr more+... All makes are facing the same supply issues now and it doesn't look like it will be easing anytime soon. It only takes 1 part...any part... not available, and the whole party shuts down....

Im a big Toyota fan and really wanted the Sequoia but it's just too dated. I'm also excited to see the next generation of it. They have a lot of work to do to modernize it.

My wife and I looked at quite a few luxury SUV's before deciding on our Denali. It actually came down to a decision between our Denali and the Genesis GV80. Although the GV80 is undeniably hi-tech and luxurious, it only sports a twin-turbo 3.5L motor. I was looking for pulling power and a bit more size, so we went with our 2021 Yukon Denali.

I briefly looked at the Genesis also, but what scared me the most is the dealer network is pretty new and far apart.. With nearest one 150 miles away, just made me to nervous if a lot of 1st year problems... Sadly, with the ability to order a Denali or Esky the way I want slipping away, I may look at the new 2022 Acura MDX....

Not sure if you need the third row, but at the Denali/Escalade price point wondering if you have considered an X7?

Looks like GM is idling down 3 plants due to chip shortage.

 

[Stbentoak]

Well yes we want a 3rd row for grandkids and their sports junk...But I just can't get behind BMW's, prices start high and they don't come equipped with anything.. then they go higher !
Then when you need service its 3-500.00 for something relatively simple that should be 50-100.00. They are reasonably sharp, but I really wanted another Diesel, as I really like the range and mileage in such a big package.... Hard to say, I'll be looking at incoming inventory over the next few months and see if I can get lucky on some thing coming in, don't have to have it today...

OK, I am confused so please help me out. I just placed an order on Monday for a 2021 AT4; got an order number from the dealer here in Washington...are you all saying my new AT4 isn't going to get built?

No, it could still be built. All depends on the options you chose, allocations and priority.

 

[Marc Marc]

Thank you for the reply; I ordered just about all options including the Premium package and heavy duty tow package; all except 2nd row captains chairs (need the bench for passenger space).

I talked again to my dealer yesterday, and if you order a fairly loaded anything, Denali, Esky, etc. He said it could be late summer for delivery if that, and you very well may get flipped to a MY 2022 before its all said and done. He said he has 30 paid orders for Corvettes and GM is only allowing him 1 a month, so some people won't see theirs for over 2 years !
Dejected about the whole process. Less than a month ago everyone said 12 weeks no problem...

Unfortunately, it's a case of the dealership "over-promising and under-delivering". I too ran into this when I ordered a 2020 C8 Corvette about a year ago. Got so tired of the run around I cancelled the order. Going to wait for the Z06 or Grand Sport version.

Plus...if I remember correctly there is a major shortage of critical components for the Tahoe's, Yukon's and Suburban's. Just read this off of Reuters News Service - https://www.reuters.com/article/gm-...o-cut-production-at-four-plants-idUSL1N2K91GH

Hang in there!

Totally in agreement with the above, when the reveal vehicles were put out there, Ford, Jeep Stelantis, or FCA or whatever they are calling themselves now were gobsmacked by what GM did. While Ford did Better with sales for the Expedition/Navigator it still is not enough for them to really make much of a *********** despite having a good vehicle. Even if they update in 2022 the vehicles will still not be any bigger and will lag the sextuplets. For the Grand Wagoneer, when it comes to market i will believe it. FCA barely was able to fund the Dodge Ram model and with the release of the sextuplets they are going to have to think hard about bringing that vehicle to market especially now that there is a 7 seat Grand Cherokee. There may be great profits but with Legendary FCA quality i dont give them a chance.

Ford, did however get spooked enough that they have brought the Excursion name back into the picture. The other brands are miniscule in the market, Toyota, Nissan

I have been admiring a 2021 AT4 for a while.

I first saw one in person at a local dealer (not my closest, but one of the most aggressive price wise dealers, volume over top dollar).

When I was first looking, maybe 1.5 months ago, they were all pretty loaded and this dealer was setting out the door pricing at about $5K off MSRP. I just looked and all three he has now are priced at just under $75K, one of those was formerly priced at $66K.

They clearly see a squeeze on availability coming.

The dealer I mentioned above has sold all his new Yukon’s. His website shows zero in stock and none in transit. They usually list ones in transit ASAP.

 

[MelloYello95]

Bad year to buy a new anything, especially the Yukon. From CA to FL, most AT4's, SLT's are gone, marked up over MSRP. Everything in transit is sold. If you find one on the lot, it will not have the Max Trailer Option. Now they are saying the SLT Premium Package is not available. Dealer allocations are dwindling.

On a positive note, it is a sellers market. Sold our 11' SLT, which was near perfect condition for 2k over high BB value I guess I will keep flintstoning it for another year
