    Worthwhile dealer add-ons?

    I agree with the group on the items listed, but the one dealer add-on which was worth it for me are the front Brembo brakes. My Yukon is a Denali so when you have 22" wheels, they don't make the brakes any bigger from the factory. The Brembos have bigger rotors along with the better pads and...

    Should I be hesitant to buy a 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate?

    Have the dealer inspect the front suspension. I've got 16k miles on my 2023 Ultimate and it started making a popping noise while backing. Turns out most of the front suspension nuts were loose and 2 were missing the cotter pins. Tech at the dealership said he's seen a few with improperly torqued...

    New Denali XL Ultimate

    I got mine in April and I agree with everything you've said. I think (but could be wrong) the fan speed option is just on start up. I've left mine on Medium, but it slows down once the temperature reaches the thermostat setting. 8) Waze doesn't show directions on HUD.

    New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

    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.

    How quickly did you switch out the OEM tires?

    I'll drive straight to Discount from the dealership. I'm curious how much Discount allowed on trade-in. $800 from the dealer is interesting, but I like the lifetime rotation and balancing from Discount, and I don't think I'll have much trouble selling brand new Bridgestones online.

    New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

    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...

    New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

    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.

    How did you track the timeline? GMC chat, the dealer, or some other method?

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    I saw one in person Saturday. My dealership had one so I went to look at it. The people were inside completing paperwork so it was parked under an overhang ready for delivery. It's beautiful, and in the shade it looked almost blue, but a talkative salesman told me it looked totally different in...

    2022 YUKON DENALI XL - 1st Oil Change

    I have faith in the synthetic oils, I'm just not sure the oil filters have advanced that much. On engines with top mounted canister oil filters, I'll change the filter at 3750 and the oil at 7500. I understand manufacturers don't use thin break-in oil anymore, but isn't there still an issue...

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    My dealer informed me my order has been pulled and will be scheduled for production probably about the last week in March. It's a Yukon XL Denali Ultimate in Redwood Metallic with black nameplates. Progress!

    GM/Brembo Performance brakes - thoughts + pics

    My 2023 Yukon XL Denali Ultimate is ordered and expected in April. I intend to have the dealer install the Brembo brakes prior to delivery and I'd like to get the SS brake lines also. Since they don't sell these by application and I don't have the vehicle yet, can you advise what lengths I...

    2023 Colors

    I saw a YouTube video of a Denali Ultimate in Redwood Metallic. The narrator/salesman said he thought it might be the best color combo with the Ultimate interior. I think videos are much better than CGIs on GM's website. There's no substitute for seeing them in person and how the sun hits the...

    What options are/are not dealbreakers for you?

    I agree with you on wireless charging, as long as I have wireless Car Play. There are many vehicles out there with Bluetooth but not wireless Car Play/Android Auto. I don't want to have to plug in. The air ride is helpful for people with disabilities or elderly relatives to get in and out...

    Gm Brembo upgrade added...sluggish acceleration and much lower mpg.

    Dealerships have been known to perform a PCM flash without asking/telling the owner since it's factory recommended and done at no charge if still under warranty. Not sure how or why that would decrease MPG and performance unless they installed the wrong program, maybe for a 5.3? Just...

    Dash lighting so dim can't read

    I must be really lucky with batteries. We had a GMC Safari van when the kids were little, probably a '89 or '90 model, and never changed the battery. We traded the van after 6 years and >150k miles. I'm currently driving a 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel while waiting for my Yukon Denali. The Ram has...

    Are There Any Plug & Play Devices to Alter Light Behavior - 2023 Yukon?

    Even better, deploy the running board on the passenger side only. Those things are calf-scrapers for people who don't need them. Another modification I like on the aftermarket program for my Ram is the ability to resume cruise control at 8 mph and set it for as low as 15. Handy in school zones.

    This vehicle will spend a lot of time in East TN. I have a grandson in Clinton, oh, and his parents.

    New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

    I wish they had an option like the Corvettes have. It would be worth it to fly to Dallas and pick up my vehicle in person. At the Bowling Green Corvette plant, about an hour drive from me, you get a tour of the Corvette museum, then delivery by a dedicated specialist who is probably better at...

    New guy with Denali Ultimate ordered

    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...
