    What's latest shipping timeline?

    My Yukon arrived at my dealer in SW Wisconsin around one month after it was produced. Total time for placing order to taking delivery was two months and one day. It all seems wildly unpredictable and inconsistent, but my dealer had open allocations, which apparently moved it rapidly into...

    Old Suburban Guy Hoping to Become a New Yukon Guy

    If you’re on the forum often you know that my Yukon showed up two months and one day from the date I placed the order. I’ve attached a couple of gratuitous photos of it, more or less clean (our wisconsin place is in the sticks, so it’s hard to keep it clean for more than a few minutes). I am...

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    With a little over 2,000 miles on my Yukon I’m finding that I really like Supercruise. We have two homes, a townhouse in the Chicago ‘burbs and a cabin in SW Wisconsin, and drive between the two frequently. On shorter drives it’s more of a novelty, but now that I’ve made the three-hour plus trip...

    What's latest shipping timeline?

    Almost exactly a month from completion to delivery in SW Wisconsin. It sat in a Chicago rail yard for about a week.

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    Yes, thanks for the reminder. Also, I don’t know how much flexibility the forum software here permits, but I’ve been moderating a BMW motorcycle website (BMWSportTouring.com) for several years, and our software (Invision Community) allows admins to edit the glossary of prohibited words. Some of...

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    By the way, that was not an obscenity in my earlier post. It was the brand name of the manufacturer. The forum software cannot distinguish between this and a reference to, well, other activities.

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    UPDATE: MYSTERY (POSSIBLY) SOLVED: I had earlier checked the Yukon to see if any of the doors were ajar, but didn’t look inside. A few minutes ago I opened the driver’s door and found my ****** radar detector/camera dangling. My current hypothesis is that the Yukon detected the interior...

    Random OnStar Theft Notification

    Have you heard of this? When I got up this morning I saw that I had received a theft alarm notification at 1:58. The Yukon is fine, undisturbed since earlier in the evening, and the keys were sitting untouched in separate locations in the house. The vehicle is fine…still in the pole barn about...

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    I’ll probably try the ceramic route, guys. A friend of mine who‘s into detailing recommended this, too.

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    Well, that would take all the sport out of it. Actually, the first 100 miles or so of my trip yesterday was on congested expressways into and out of O’Hare IAP so there was a constant mist of muck, snow and sleet. Pretty much unavoidable, even when you’re not tailgating (and I actually don’t)...

    Tips for Keeping Headlights Clear of Ice Buildup?

    This photo is post-ice removal, but you get an idea of the conditions I was driving in yesterday. Snow, mist being kicked up by other vehicles, and temperatures in the range of 29-31ºF. In a drive of about 250 miles I had to stop three times to remove ice buildup on the headlights. I’ll be...

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    MSRP, minus the military appreciation offer of $500.

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    I realize that now. I’m in a rural area and I understand that they sell a bunch of Yukons, which may explain the availability of an allocation. Still, I was skeptical, given what other dealers had told me.

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    Jeez. I was told by other dealers that it might take 9-12 months. The dealer I went through (Runde in Platteville, WI) had build allocations for the Denali and the interior color combo I wanted, and told me it would be 1-2 months before it was built. They were pretty much right on target—it as...

    ‘23 Yukon Denali Arrived

    It has the Reserve package, which forces the inclusion of adaptive cruise and the rear seat video system. It’s nearly as loaded up as the Ultimate, with the exception of headrest speakers and massaging seats (and the cosmetics that are associated with the Ultimate, of course).
