Has anyone heard information regarding the 2026 Tahoes or Yukons?

Not expecting any appearance changes, but any new colors, packages, pricing, etc?

They can’t even fill the orders they have for the 2025’s… I’d bet if anything it will be a new paint color.

There is no inventory especially silly in the highest trims. Must be nice to have such a hot products.

The iridescent white is being replaced by polar white if I recall correctly

There are some utube videos. If they are legit it looks like minor changes to the headlights and basically the same 2025 interior with the big center screen.

I really don’t expect any body changes, even minor since the new body style so recently launched.

My biggest concern was pricing and packages. Could make the difference between buying a ‘25 or waiting for the ‘26 since order banks open in a month

All the ones that aren’t pre sold look equipped for rental fleets… dealer in Carson City, NV said that if a preorder backs out they have a waiting list of people who want the fully loaded, the lower trims are starting to be available but limited deals.

If you wait they may have deals at the end of summer but it won’t be much.

If you want a decently equipped one, there aren't any deals now nor will there be later....unless the economy totally crashes which is highly unlikely. I still see Denali ultimate's at some dealer's still at 5K over sticker... NEVER any under sticker {if they even are available} which is pretty unlikely.....

Local dealership near me has a 25 Denali for sticker price at $104,490. There is room there too. I know a guy.

Agreed. I have a Z71 order submitted since February and GM has still not accepted the order.

I bought a 2025 Tahoe Z71 5.3 with everything they offer last week. I bought it at $4500 under list. I had to drive 200 miles to get it. Bought it over the phone without even driving it.

Do y’all think they will introduce an Elevation Premium Package that doesn’t make you get the rear media screens? Also, do you think they will make the new Polar White color available on the Elevation trim level?
I may purchase a 2025 Yukon XL Summit White with the 3.0 engine as early as tomorrow or Friday, it has the rear media screens.
I was hoping to have some information about the 2026’s that would help dissuade me from making this purchase.

I currently own a 2023 Yukon XL Pearl White 3.0 , I love my Yukon’s !

It's hilarious you didn't get an answer. Where I am, discounts seem to be in the $2700 ballpark (larger for LS/LT). Phila metro area. But up in Hartford, CT, over list price? Just something I noticed. The ones with the discount have VINs ending in the 200's. The ones coming in are in the low 300's. I'd rather have a vehicle that just comes in, rather than has been sitting for a month or more. Because of my observation that lower equipped vehicles have higher discounts, imho it's not a straight percentage. I've taken some of what I've read on this forum to local dealerships, to be told oh we can't do that. When someone does not counter offer, that means, they can't do it. So maybe take things with a grain of salt, it's the internet lol

This is correct as the lower trims are less desirable and usually are black with black interiors. Those get discounted quite a bit. The dealer I am buying from discounts elevations, but regular Denali's are list price firm, and ultimate AT 4S or Denali's are 5 K over sticker. They don't need to negotiate; they will sell.... plenty of stock on low level trims, zero stock on any ultimate's they are all pre sold incoming....

Interesting.

Major volume Chevy dealerships seem to be doing $4000-8000 discounts on their websites.

I think those discounts are only going to get larger going forward as the luster wears off the first refreshed model year.

I am seeing a ton of discounts on Tahoes, not so much on Yukons.

Most dealerships in the DFW area are offering 4k off sticker on the website. These are being advertised as "Dealer Incentives" instead of them combining all the rebates no one is actually entitled to. With negotiation, you can easily double this number (had one dealer offer me 12k off of a premier).

Yukons are more difficult. Dealers by me are not budging on numbers. Its either MSRP or nothing at all.

I decided to take a look. Found a dealer called Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas. The biggest discounts were on the High Country's, $5k and $5.3k respectively. Amazing to me, this dealer has 23 Tahoes in stock. In the Phila area, most dealers have 0-2. When I pull up those 2 cars with the largest discounts, they have a low VIN# which implies they've been sitting unsold for months. This would be the question--hey Friendly, instead of those 2 HC's, I'd like to order one, and I'd like $5,300 off. At least where I live, I was told, $4,400 is a steep discount on a custom order, we couldn't do that. Maybe Friendly says, hey, I like you, let's do $8k off your customer order. One can't know until they try. But for $5,300 off, I wouldn't be able to make the trip and get the vehicle back. I'm at $3,900 on a custom order, $500 refundable deposit, with ZERO dealer add ons. Good, bad, indifferent, it's where I'm at and waiting...if it's easy to double $5300, to $10,600 off? Maybe then ordering is being stubborn. But my $3,900 off was order or in stock, doesn't matter. From what I can tell, most dealers would prefer to discount in stock. My dealer had 1 and only 1 in stock. Another question I'd have for Friendly, is the price shown the out the door price, less maybe $477 doc fee, and sales tax.

Edit: I found one in stock at Friendly that is exactly our build. It has a $4500 discount. They have also added wheel locks, and on the website, it's ready to add 1 of 2 protection packages, without a price. Again, only someone who has purchased from them knows, but they seem ready for dealer add ons, built right into the website. The $4500, if no dealer add ons, can't cover my cost to go there and get the car. But if easily doubled? Maybe.

Edit 2: Being curious by nature, I found a thread from someone in Texas on reddit, expressing frustration that every dealer has add ons totaling $4k+, and nobody seemed to want to give him an out the door price without sitting down and going in. their words were it's as if dealers are about to commit crimes and they don't want to leave any evidence behind. Then, multiple people said to get around the add ons, order a vehicle rather than take one off the lot. It does seem to me that ordering takes the gamesmanship out of the picture. Not knowing the ins and outs it seems that there is a high likelihood that a custom order is a sold vehicle, when it arrives (customers don't generally wait 2 mos with their refundable deposit and back out, I should think). Yes, a sale is not made until the money is in the bank. But the majority of car sales imho is tire kicking. jmoymmv

I’m based in Dallas and I’ve spoken with friendly Chevrolet and they do add on $2,000 in dealership packages. Just another thing you have to negotiate.

On the flip side, they did offer me $12k off of a premier that has been in stock for a while.

Ultimately I’m going to end up custom ordering something. If it’s a Tahoe, it will be from Huffines. They do not do any dealer adds on. If it’s a GMC, it will be from Sewell
