New Guy from New Mexico (2023 Yukon SLE 4x4 5.3 V8)

EducatorDan · Dec 10, 2022

Greetings from New Mexico. My wife finally has a vehicle she's always wanted, 2023 Yukon SLE. Joined the forums to keep up to date on news, recalls, TSBs etc, as well as having found being to a forum useful for my 2018 Buick Regal TourX.

Only "mods" so far are WeatherTech liners in all three rows (plus cargo liner) and one silly badge addition. (I know it's not a vortec but "ecotec" doesn't have the same punch to it.

Looking forward to meeting everyone here.

Nice! Welcome from WI. I like the color choice

We're part of the anti-black/white/silver crusade when it comes to car colors. Not enough real color these days on the average dealer's lot.

Redwood Metallic and the Walnut interior (oh and the front bench seat). Wife ordered it just the way she wanted it, although she really wanted Hunter Metallic but it wasn't available on the SLE trim and didn't see it as worth the price difference for the extra features of the SLT. Oddly Hunter Metallic is available on every trim level except SLE.

Welcome from Orlando. I would really like to see a picture of the front bench seat. You do not ever see those anymore but every car and truck had them when I was growing up. Great color too.

I thought I had taken a picture of the middle option "down" as well but apparently not. The biggest pros I see with the front bench is never bumping your knee on the console, a nice flat transmission hump for the wife to put her purse on, and a middle "punishment" seat to put a naughty child between mom and dad on family vacation. Of course it spends most of its time in the down position and people hardly notice that it's a bench when being used as an armrest/cupholder. It also calls back to my childhood (born 1977) when GM wagons were everywhere.

I might be a bit a of a rarity in overall production numbers in that I've got 3 rows of benches.
