Those with 2023 orders and updates.

Boring update:

Yukon XL - originally placed on 3/28/2022 for an SLT, redid for 2023 on 7/23/2022 - no update specific to my build

Suburban Z71 - originally ordered 8/26/2022, had a TPW of 9/19, changed the order to include RSE on 9/23, this week's update I'm number 84 in line at the dealer ....

Not sure if this truck is worth the torture of waiting...

You are number 84? Is this a huge dealer ? Did you pay a deposit? I placed my order for a diesel yukon slt premium pack with max tow on September 3rd and im at event code 3000 already. I did pay a 1000 deposit and am getting the truck for 4kish off msrp.

Something sounds fishy about your dealer.

talked with the largest dealer in our area at the first of the year and they had 70+ orders waiting on allocations so yeah 84 sounds plausible. We were able to get one accepted in 1.5 months back then at a dealer 20 miles away...just takes a little calling/emailing around to find dealers that are getting allocations without long wait times

I was called today and the Dealer said I needed to drop about 1/2 of the options, upgrade to an Ultimate, or I could sit and wait with no eta. I had it ordered through a second dealer, same song and dance. I threw in the towel, told him to cancel it, over a year of waiting and I am done. On the bright side the company vehicles will no longer have any GM's left in the fleet in 3 months. Between myself and the family owned business we were doing around $750k a year in vehicle purchases, the fleet was 100% GM 3 years ago, it is now sadly less than 5%. GM just can't deliver. They can blame the chip shortage all they want, but we have been able to buy from other manufacturers without issue. GM needs to stop introducing new upper end vehicles and support the tried and true models consumers buy. Hope someone else gets theirs early now.

That doesn't make any sense. Most if not all the constraints are gone now. Im sorry you had such a rough time with it. I wouldn't wait that long either. Wish you luck in whatever else you decide!

Constraints may be gone, but his dealer may not have an allocation for his config...

Appreciate the perspective! I may look around more next month. I already feel a little guilty having two on order when there’s a whole forum of us waiting.

It’s the same, high volume dealer where DFW Clay got his Silver Sage in under a month (with RSE) which is what prompted me to update the order thinking it would just set me back 3 weeks. Yes, $1k deposit too.

Unfortunately both of the dealers are #1 and #2 in the Western US, and both have told me to drop the 3.0, the adaptive cruise, towing, and a few others, or order an Ultimate and they can have it in a few weeks. I don't see many 3.0 Denali's available, or being shipped.

This....so much this!

I understand that you can't just stop everything, but it is immensely frustrating to see GM advertising all their great new models coming out, and seeing that certain higher end, and higher dollar versions seem to be getting pushed through while we have been waiting 8 months for an order with no end in sight....

That’s called….business. In a supply constrained environment, any business would push the supply to the highest profit portion of their business.
