Sliding front console constraints

[Drbeez]

I have an RST diesel ordered since late Nov. I was told my dealer front sliding center console on constraint. He said if I remove from order he thinks rest my options will go through. He says 3 months on console. Any gear different, and is that option really worth having or is it no big deal

On the Yukons currently, if you remove the console option, it automatically defaults to second row bench seat.

I've had my 22 HighCountry for ~3 weeks now....I think we've moved that console 4 times...just playing with it.m By far the most comfortable "arm rest" position is with it moved all the way forward. Also if you have kiddos in the 2nd row, even in carseats, moving the console back fully gives them arm reach to the controls (even though you can lock them out from the front). I guess the only pro is the "hidden" storage that would be considered somewhat secure when the console is moved all the way forward. If there was a worthwhile credit for it being removed I would just take it and move on...you won't miss it in my opinion.

Is the sliding console compatible with lockbox inside the console?

That’s not correct - I just placed an order for a Duramax Yukon Denali (actually two orders, with two different dealers) last week, and both order confirmations show standard console and bucket seats. I specifically double checked that to make sure.

Also - per GM Authority, the sliding console will not be available anymore for the remainder of 2022 model year. So doesn’t look like you have any other option but to remove it from the build… That’s what both the dealers I ordered with recommended as they confirmed the sliding console is not available to order.

While it is helpful, (I move it back about 6" and it gives the wife a readymade slot for her purse..) If it is the difference in getting a vehicle or not, the choice is obvious..Its a nice to have, not a must have...

I'm sure your information is correct, I believe there are multiple ways to configure to try and get around the constraints.
It will be interesting to see if/when your order actually goes to build status.

No, the safe is only compatible with the standard console. I called my dealer back to add the safe after he let me know the power sliding console was on constraint.

Nope. I wanted the lockbox, so I skipped the sliding gimmick and had the dealer install the safe when i picked up the vehicle. No regret.

When you slide back the console, you can slide just the lid forward so you don't lose the "comfortable arm rest" position.

It's funny you posted this...I literally just figured that out tonight. With all the talk recently on the sliding console we were out for an errand run and I was waiting in the car on my wife to finish up something and I messed around with it. I thought it actually broke when I slid it forward on accident! Now that does take care of the "comfortable arm rest"...I just wish it had a locking mechanism because it slides back and forth freely from what I could tell. In other words if you were to shift your elbow back the console slides with it. Maybe I'm missing something...

I could care less about the sliding console but the fact it seems to be tied to getting bench seats if you remove it is just stupid!!! So they are going to make no more captains seats Yukon’s in 2022?

I just had to reconfigure my premiere orders. One was a rear bench no power console
one with rear bucket seats. No sliding console.

I don’t think most dealerships know how to do that because when they unselect the power console it changes the second row to bench. How do they change the 2nd row back to captain chair?

Go back into the order and check a different box.

line would think they’d have to select power fold buckets after the system changes it to a bench

If you slide the top all the way forward it should click in and lock.

I place two separate orders with two separate dealers and both were able to select buckets in second row, despite no sliding console. Both my order confirmations from GM ordering system show second row buckets.

Have you come up with any solutions for the sliding back situation? I find the same thing happens with ours, and it's pretty annoying to have your arm rest slide out from under you while driving. I wish it had some way of locking in place. I asked my sales guy when I went into the dealer and he didn't have much to add or have a solution, they didn't have any on the lot to compare it with either.
