    Buyers Remorse?

    It's up the buyer to determine whether the additional price is worth the value. A friend of mine has a Suburban and I have the corresponding Yukon XL Denali, and while they're the same truck underneath, it's a pretty big difference in the interior materials (seat leather, dash wood, gauge...

    Should this pre-purchase inspection be a dealbreaker?

    I've sold 3 cars to Carmax and bought 1. The cars I sold they offered slightly above KBB trade-in value (and one time - in 2021 - way over), and all three times I walked away with a check and a smile. The one I bought was a great deal, they did agree to replace two front tires and fix a...

    Buyers Remorse?

    The biggest gripe I have with GM is that my wife drives a $50k Lexus, I own/have owned 3 $70k GMC trucks, and yet the dealership and especially service/warranty experience is in no way comparable. Lexus wins in every category, in every metric, in every conceivable notion from the chairs in the...

    Rear Access Open Issue

    2020 GMC Yukon XL DenaliI 've received an occasional error on the dash "Rear Access Open" - when I open the back glass and then close it. It also doesn't always clearly close, requiring a slam. I took it to the local GMC dealer whom diagnosed it as a failed latch and "recplaced" the latch...

    No Refresh for 2024

    The T1x trucks and SUVs are the only generation I can recall where the improvements over the previous gen went worse; terrible ergonomics, terrible colors (black everything, anyone?), a preponderance of buttons and cheap looking plastics. The trucks were "fixed" in 2022.5, and the SUVs are...

    EDIT: Helped me decide - went with Denali

    Which interior color are you going with? The AT4 only has the black with umber inserts, whereas the Z71 can have the black or the cocoa dune brown (IMO a very nice combo). Power assist steps are wonderful, and the HUD is nice to have but I regularly ignore it. My wife likes the ventilated...

    Got my second one, XL style

    Thanks man, I appreciate your comment. Agreed, it's been a painful process and I still miss my Iridium metallic, but I'm very happy with the XL and the white-frost paint is very much a beautiful color, and mixes well with the cocoa interior, even better than the Iridium. I paid $52.5k and...

    Traded in the Burb

    I've always thought the interior of the 2018+ Expedition is better than the GM twins. I was *this* close to buying a new 2018 Expy back in the day but cranking up the 6.2 really hits me where it counts. If you don't mind the good performance (and poor sound) of the 3.5, the Expy is a winner...

    Got my second one, XL style

    It's been a week and 1500 miles so here's my latest. Truck drives great, smooth, powerful. No major issues. But since it's CPO I dropped at the local dealer to have a couple issues looked at: 1. Forward collision alert alwyas shows "Green" when tracking, but never yellow, and I don't get...

    2022 Tahoe w- 7950 miles dead in the road

    Everything constructed is a machine and liable to have an occasional fault. I've been buying new GM cars for almost 20 years and have yet to have a single issue. Given this is your only fault in nearly 15 years and 4 similar vehicles of ownership, I'd suggest you come at this from a...

    Got my second one, XL style

    I'll update this after a couple more days, but heres' some initial comparisons between the '16 and '20 -16 had red dash backlights, much preferred and unique over the blue in the 20 -The 10 speed auto is silky smooth, although I was very pleased with the 8spd after a fluid swap -The suspension...

    Got my second one, XL style

    Bought a then-new 2016 Yukon Denali, iridium metallic with cocoa/dark atmosphere interior in August 2016. This picture was taken right after on our inaugural road trip. We ended up driving it all over the US, to our honeymoon. Never had any big issues. just a squeaky front end. My wife...

    How do you guys like the 15-20's?

    Looks great, what year and did you buy used? I sold mine just like if and have regretted it

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    Yes, the 1 Ton gas HD is a sweet spot to be in. I have a Denali HD (2500) SRW Crew 4x4 Duramax - whew that was a mouthful - and it's a great towing rig, but the 2500 + diesel means the payload is fairly low. The 3500 has a lot more payload, but with my utility trailer I could easily reach into...

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    In my experience, towing anything reasonably heavy with good wind resistance (enclosed trailer, camper, etc >5000 lbs) is a poor experience with a 1500-series truck. Even though it's rated for it, it's always been a white-knuckle experience for me. Open trailer track car might be no problem...

    Can anyone recommend a dealer to order from who aggressively discounts?

    HD inventories seem to be climbing quickly. The '24s start production next month, and if possible I'd wait as the interior upgrade is significant. Once they're on the lots I bet there will be good discounts on any leftover '23s. Rivard GMC in Tampa is a standup place; I'd have no concerns...

    2021+ GMC Yukon Pricing vs. 2019 Pre-pandemic deals w/ snapshots

    When I bought my Denali, I crossed shopped with a Porsche Cayenne, lower model 4-cyl non-turbo. The Porsche dealer was ludicrous that I was comparing the two, during one of the test drives, he set me up on a slalom course and asked "can a Yukon do this?" as the Cayenne zipped through; same for...

    2021+ GMC Yukon Pricing vs. 2019 Pre-pandemic deals w/ snapshots

    Do not recall this being the case. The GMC had similar prices SLE=LT, SLT=LTZ, but Denali was unmatched from Chevy (now Chevy has the High Country). The Chevy was about the same or higher price, and the dealers didn't seem as willing to negotiate. Noticed the same when I bought a 2500...

    2021+ GMC Yukon Pricing vs. 2019 Pre-pandemic deals w/ snapshots

    I got a great deal on mine back in 2016 - $79k sticker, paid $63k+TTL. Sold for $45k in 2021, somewhat regrettably. Does not seem possible that prices will continue to escalate among stagnant wages. No way I'd consider a $90-100k+ Denali. Something will give with the inventory, it's...

    Is there a thread with dealers charging msrp vs a market adj?

    We stopped at a Chevy dealership the other night. They did have a Tahoe and Burb on the lot; I was looking at the 1500 trucks. All trucks had $2995 over sticker tags. Told the young guy who came out to greet us I wasn't paying anything near sticker, as a matter of fact I was paying supplier...

    2023 Tahoe Buying Advice - Ordering vs Looking For?

    This can't possibly happen with the legacy mfg-dealer model. Manufacturers book the revenue when the vehicle is shipped to the dealer. Consumers buy from dealers. The manufacturers customers are the dealers, not the consumers. The manufacturers that do direct-to-consumer models like...

    Those with 2023 orders and updates.

    Exactly how I feel. I'd order a High Country to get the better interior if they had an "offroad version", but since they don't, it's a Z71 Burb for me. The AT4/RST are both no-go's due to the dark interior option, and the Denali is a no-go due to the price. I've bought two new prev-gen...

    6.2L AT4

    Wonder why there's a wait for the 6.2? Having owned both 5.3/6.2 powered trucks, the 6.2 is a rocketship when running on premium fuel. The 5.3 is perfectly adequate however. My next rig will be a 5.3

    Goodbye

    I've driven the Infiniti version of the Armada and was very impressed. You've made a good choice, and good luck. I suspect GM is losing a fair amount of customers over the lingering inability to deliver product.
