New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

I would recommend that if you have orders that you ask your dealer if they have allocations and where you are at in line for orders. Talk to the sales manager and not your salesman, if they are not getting any allocations or you are in the back of a long line, you may be out of luck for a long time. My local large GMC/Cadilac dealer seems to think that most of his orders will be switched to 24MY, but good luck to you all,

New guy here in Middle Tennessee. I ordered a 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate, White Frost Tricoat with black nameplates last week. GMC acknowledges the dealer placed the order, but of course, it's not been accepted by GMC yet. I've been lurking for a few weeks here and learned a lot from the forum, so thanks.

With vehicles showing up in increasing numbers, I'm hoping my wait is in the 2-4 months range, but we'll see.

I received my White Frost tri coat Denali Ultimate with the 3.0L Duramax engine late in November. Ordered it when GM accepted the first orders. Just drove it to Florida from Oshawa ON. Averaged 27 mpg on I75 running an average of 75 mph. Same trip last year with my 2022 Yukon Denali with 6.2L was 20 mpg. Just love the Duramax! The ultimate package is really nice. Super cruise worked well except when snow covered the lines on the road. My only complaint is that Google Maps requires an On Star data plan. Ran out of data half way to Florida so Google maps stopped working. I really hate paying monthly subscription fees to OnStar so I switched to Wazes maps using Apple Car Play. That worked well and Waze is a better road map than Google anyway.

Great news for you and enjoy, have a question though about running out of data. When you purchased didn't you have to pay for the 3 year premium plan? That includes the unlimited data plan for years so not sure why you would run out of data. When I purchased my Ultimate in November I had to pay for the 3 year plan and I think it was about $900.00,

Congratulations on your order and hopefully you’ll get it soon! I also live Middle Tennessee and ordered one with White Frost Tricoat as well. The dealership told me 4-6 months and that it could be nine. Showed me the list and I was the 85th person waiting for one. Good luck!

Welcome! I ordered a Denali Ultimate with White Frost Tricoat on 12/31/22. I haven't received any updates yet, but figured I'd check with my dealer in a couple of weeks.

Any update on your order?

My YukonXL has been built and I have the window sticker! It was built this week, so now for transit watch. I opted for the Redwood Metallic with black nameplates. Apparently, they're a dealer-installed option.

Checked on the status of my truck and they've gotten very stingy with information. They just refer me back to my dealer and even refuse to give an event code because "customers don't find these useful." They also gave me 2 bullcrap excuses about shipping: 1) chip shortage and 2) closed plants. I'm in logistics, so I know the struggles there are real, but chip shortage doesn't impact shipping and closed plants should decrease the demands on shipping, not increase them.

Bottom line, and it's been said before, I don't know why they don't decrease allow customers to pick up vehicles at the plant like they do with Corvettes. I realize it would be some work to start a program like this, but I for one would really appreciate the effort even if it doesn't include a museum tour like at the Bowling Green Corvette plant.

My truck was delivered Friday! I brought it home today after they installed the Brembo brakes and black nameplates. I'll take more pictures tomorrow after I get new Michelins mounted.
