Mine was 6 weeks order to delivery at msrp. Pick the largest volume dealer in your state because they have more allocations. Make sure whatever you order doesn't have constraints.

@ProfeZZor X also, keep in mind, just cause you have an order number from the dealer, doesn't mean it's being accepted by GM yet. There are many threads that show the process along with event codes that will be used during the process.

After reading all these posts about constraints and build times I have to consider myself lucky. Got a dealer allocation and placed order for my Denali second week of Dec. TPW was pushed from 3rd wk. of Jan. to 2nd week of Feb. It's now in transit from TX. to Lordstown,Oh. DD is still unknown.Dealer called Fri. with details of build sheet-other than front/rear park assist(retrofit later)and SF2 wheels backordered,the sliding console is there. So I assume another 2-3 weeks? Ordering a 23 is supposed to start the end of May but if constraints and option availability (slider) among others are still in place what is GM going to do? PS-GM chat is no help

I know it's sort of a loaded question, and there's a lot of variables to consider, but generally speaking if you order a new fully loaded Yukon, what kind of wait are we looking at? In my search for on-hand stock at dealers for the last few months, I inevitably came to the realization that I needed to place an order for my vehicle if I'm ever going to get one for myself. After speaking with a few dozen salespeople during the last few months, I've been getting mixed timelines on when GMC is processing these orders. I've heard anything from 16 weeks to an entire year.

Now I haven't custom ordered a Denali from GMC since 96', so I would imagine the process has changed quite a bit - especially given the state of the market and the supply chain issues everyone has been experiencing. Today I ordered my Yukon AT4 in all black with the AT4 Premium Plus package and several other options, but I'm uncertain if the length of my build time is all dependent on the amount of options I ordered, or there's a general waiting time for every vehicle, regardless of the number factory options added. Granted, if one or more of those optioned materials isn't available, there's an additional wait time until it arrives, or it's retrofitted on a later date... I get that.

So what's your experience on ordering to arrival? ...And how long did it take for you to get your vehicle?

Just canceled my order. GM is taking zero orders for Denalis with the premium or max tow packages. Second row captains chairs were an issue too. Just going to keep what I have. Disappointed.

My only suggestion would be consider putting your order in in late summer, right before the switch to 2023 models...its a tough deal out there right now...I am in a different industry, but supply chains are just as bad for us...I guarantee GM is not intentionally constraining these things, trust me, they would prefer to be able to build every order. Hard to make things when you don't have parts.

Mine was built 1/21/22 and shipped 2/3/22. As of 2/22 the vehicle was bayed in CA. Not sure if there has been any movement since then (waiting for an update) but we are also in HI so that does not help the shipping process timeline. Not sure when they ordered it. My original order (same model, just in diesel with RES and different color) was submitted 10/11/21 and to this day has not been accepted.

I've had my order in at GM since December 3rd... Still not accepted... Essentially ordered the "reserve" but did so before that was an option so ordered the "prefered group" and added in suspension and max tow. No clue if it'll ever get built or if i'll be rolled over to a '23.

Ordered from high-volume dealer on 03/02 - Denali with Reserve package + diesel. Dealer advised may have some movement in 2 months and could take 6-9 months.
Does this sound on track and would they push it it to a 2023 model automatically after a certain date?

@RichM Yes the wait time on diesels is accurate. I have had 2 denali with it optioned out to be exactly like the reserve package since August. One Is a high volume dealer, and the other is not. Still waiting for allocations.

Did your dealer mention how far down the list you are in line for a reserve/diesel? GM only seems to be allocating around 30-40 diesels for an ENTIRE weeks production run currently due to supposed supply chain issues.

@BrokerThis thanks for the information. I didn’t ask the questions you’ve raised but will do so. Best to be in line and wait patiently. Looks like it could be a 2023 when delivered. Thanks again.

I'm not going to take a chance with my order, so I'm going to pull out as soon as I finalize the purchase of one of the AT4's I've been following for a few months. I know of two Yukon AT4's that are available, and on the dealer's lot right now. Both have 70% of the options I want, and one of them is one of my back up color choices. So instead of waiting 6 to 8 months for my current order to be accepted and built, I'd rather get a sure thing. At least I can honestly say that I'd be satisfied with either of those, and not have buyers remorse on what "could of" been.

GMC will stop taking orders in April for the 2022. The factory will have two months (May & June) to finish the orders with a TPW and switch over to the 2023 line. From what I have noticed gmc does waves of production. For example last week a lot of dealers had SLT but hardly anyone had Denali and around 50 diesels for the week.
Advanced technology package will be 0% until April but no date. So if your getting your order pushed for this year there is a good chance you have to remove that feature. I didn’t make 2021 and doesn’t look like I will make 2023 either. I have been first in line at my dealership but fully loaded diesel is like ordering a unicorn.
Oh well my car still works so I keep waiting

Last summer a dealer found me a Yukon Xl that had just been built just waiting for invoice. I waited for 2 months while this unit was stuck in Arlington, meanwhile I kept checking the GMC inventory for anything else available coming to my area. Finally I found a similar Yukon in transit coming to a different dealer near me, After calling on it I found out that it was not spoken for and was at the railyard in town. 2 days later it arrived at the dealer, then I got a call that the first Yukon had arrived at the first dealer. Both trucks were the same except one had a sunroof and stock rims and the other had no sunroof and black 22 rims. I chose the second truck and I'm sure the other one got picked up immediately by the next guy in line. Both Yukons may have been held up at the same time for microchips/part issues.

If they're building the vehicle for you then I assume the model year is basically just determined by when it's actually completed, right? If it takes until next January to roll off the line then I don't see how they could call it a '22.

I've been planning on ordering a 2022 Suburban but keep putting it off--sounds like I really need to hightail it to a dealership and get a deposit put down if I want to see it at any point in the somewhat near future.

Im on month 5 from a pretty large dealer. Yukon XL SLT. Was told last week I had 5 more months wait if I didn't take more options off so I did. I thought the 3-month wait sucked when I preordered a C7 corvette back in 2013 but this hell.
