I've had a 2021 Suburban on order since October when the order books first opened for the Duramax diesel option. The dealer called me a week ago to say that the GM rep had been by and he was only going to get one more Suburban allocated this year, so it wasn't looking good for my order to get picked up. He also told me that the Northern California region in general wasn't going to get many Suburbans allocated, though didn't explain exactly why.
They hadn't requested a deposit, so I started looking on the Chevrolet.com inventory search to see what might be available in dealer inventory. There were only 15 Duramax Suburbans listed in the entire country, and on calling the dealerships, most of those were pre-sold orders. However, I did find one unsold at a dealer in the San Diego area and drove down there this past Friday to grab it.
It's a Premier with the Premium Package + Power-sliding center console. White exterior, black interior. Not our first color choices, but looks sharp nonetheless. The Duramax is buttery smooth with plenty of power. We took the trailer out for a night over the long weekend, and the towing experience was night and day better than the 2017 Toyota Sienna minivan that the Suburban replaced.
Very happy customer so far.

I am hoping the 2023 models come with fog lights and adaptive cruise control by then in the LT trim
