Of course, it's Laura Buick GMC in St.Louis, but there's a story , of course. It's obviously not close to me.Lancistul, I just reread your post and noticed you’re in the PNW…do you mind listing which dealer you ordered through?

Not sure if it is helpful, but I have ordered two cars from Chevy/GMC Bellevue. The 2022 Suburban was a Lemon replacement, so probably not helpful (it was accepted obviously within a week or so). However, I ordered a Bolt EUV last November, and it was accepted in 3 days, built within a month or so, and I took delivery in early Feb. They have a pretty high volume generally I think (other dealer orders for Bolts from summer are still waiting), but I no idea about their GMC Denali sales.Lancistul, I just reread your post and noticed you’re in the PNW…do you mind listing which dealer you ordered through?

How many allocations a month does your dealer receive? I'm a bit surprised they said you went backward on the list... Usually dealers will be overly optimistic so it's nice to see some honesty, but also a bit concerning.Thanks for the info/updates, everyone. Our order is nearly identical to ‘Lancistul’, but Summit White..

Dealer informed me yesterday I went from #5 on the list to #9…
Currently have a 2019 Tahoe but have #4 on the way and need the cargo space + extra seat (we currently have 2nd row buckets).
Appreciate all your updates!
Bruh... thats giving me vibes of the dealership in Idaho, no communication, not knowing anything, blaming it on GM, stringingme along... blah blah...We were originally told 2-3 allocations a month, but when I went in the other day they said they just aren’t getting allocations for Denalis. It was two different guys than we had been working with previously, so not sure if they just didn’t want to deal with us or were being more truthful than the other guys we ordered through.
We don’t mind waiting - we can fit everyone in the car we have, currently, and understand that it’s a weird time to buy a car. But, I also thought it was odd to go backwards on the list, which has us second guessing our dealer choice. When I asked how, they just shrugged their shoulders.
You mentioned you're in the PNW - have you checked out Beaverton GMC in Oregon? They by far get the most GMC inventory out of any dealership in the PNW. Right now they have 6 Yukon XLs w/ the Duramax on their site. They might already be spoken for, but it also might be worth giving them a call.We were originally told 2-3 allocations a month, but when I went in the other day they said they just aren’t getting allocations for Denalis.

Can’t be done. The packages are what they are and if you don’t want an option that’s within a package your only option is to remove the package.New here, good stuff on placing orders, I have been trying to get an answer of ordering a 2023 Denali with 3.0 and reserve package WITHOUT rear media system, absolutely no use for it, if it was a couple hundred bucks id say ok, but 2k..no way. I see so far it cant be done. My dealer is going to discuss with order rep and I am hoping to get an answer next week. Any one actually have any success deleting that item from that package? thanks
Thanks for that info. In the mean time at least we'll be cruising in our 2016 Denali with a new engine until the new one gets built.Can’t be done. The packages are what they are and if you don’t want an option that’s within a package your only option is to remove the package.
Also, I’m not 100% on this, but from what I’ve heard the 2023 build slots are all full. At best you’ll get an early ‘24 allocation which is slated to start building early November.
