Wow, ordering what I want almost seems hopeless...

debtjet · Jun 2, 2022

I'm located in the Memphis area. Recently the wife and I settled on getting a Yukon XL 4WD. Some things standing in my way - I want a diesel, and I want the "Reserve Package," i.e. adaptive cruise, HUD and 360 surround. I refuse to settle on a brand new $80,000+ car that has fewer features than her current 2017 Mazda CX-5.

After stopping into a dealership, the salesman asked if I had built one online and had a printout for him. I said no, so we sat down and I watched him fiddle with the website. We configured the above, and he said he'd pass it along and let me know when the dealer gets an allocation and can place an order.

But, judging by the looks of it, browsing this forum and other places - I'm guessing that once my "spot in line" comes up, I'm going to have an undetermined ETA on the vehicle I want because of the "constraints."

Any tips or leads on where best to look? Has anyone had success? At this point, I'm considering browsing used 2021-2022 and paying a premium for the convenience.

Good things come to those who wait. Welcome to the forum! What are you driving currently?

I recommend calling as many dealers as you can to see what they have incoming / to be built that may not be listed online yet. You’d be surprised what is available. Ordering seems to be luck of the draw, if you can find dealer stock already accepted by GM its less of a gamble.

I placed an order for a Yukon and Tahoe at different dealerships. The $500 deposit are refundable so its not a big deal. I will take delivery on which ever comes first. I was able to get Supplier pricing on both orders.

As of now I have a TPW for 6/13 on the Tahoe and nothing on the Yukon. The Yukon will most likely be a 2023 at this point. For supplier discount I have to keep the vehicle for 6 months. So maybe I will take delivery of the Tahoe, and either sell or trade the 22 Tahoe in for a 23 Yukon and make a profit.

You're going to end up with a 23, and to this point, there isn't a "Reserve" package. All of the sub-package groups are available individually, just no pre-packaged grouping called Reserve. Yes, the Adaptive Cruise (part of the Advanced Tech Package) is not available at start of production for 23, so your order would/will sit waiting for allocation. BUT. If you didn't actually get an order process started with the dealer, you're gonna wait forever.

Good luck. I ordered the same from two different dealers. One in September of 2021 and the other in Dec. Neither were ever accepted. I cancelled about a month ago and ordered an Expedition Max Stealth Performance and it was scheduled for production the very next week.

I still check in on my orders from time-to-time. Seems the dealers haven't cancelled them. Neither have been accepted.

I have sent "requests" over to 2 dealers in Nashville, one in Utah, and another one locally here - 4WD, Yukon XL SLT, diesel, Premium package. We'll see who picks it up and gets in touch. Nothing is "ordered" yet.

I ordered a Tahoe Premiere last November, still at 1100. I've all but given up hope. I believe I've read that the 2023's order list is out now, or will be soon.

1100? Im not at my comouter to look, but that code seems like it hasn't even been put in by your dealer yet. Or if it has, your dealer hasnt been attempting to let you know whats going on and why the huge delay, ir to see what you could change to get it built.

I just wrote a novel elsewhere on this forum about my experience. It's been essentially the same story. I think this is all I needed to see to know that I'm betting on the wrong make/model...or company for that matter. Time to head to Ford/Lincoln or Nissan/Infiniti. Inferior product or not, at least I can get one and not overpay for it. It's pretty obvious that the "constraints" are really prescribed as part of some LP model that a data scientist at GM developed to make sure it can gouge its customers. From the order problems, to BS about inventory, to now some railway strike...and the incredible sums of money they're demanding...I'm done. Hope more people will do the same...these companies will never learn if people continue to stand for it.

Wow, ordering what I want almost seems hopeless...
