There's another forum member here @Steebu that has been trying to place an order for a Yukon Denali diesel at GMC Beaverton and it keeps hitting a wall when they try to place the order. I think he's going to hold out until the 2023 models. It's interesting that you say they don't accept orders... I know they are the largest GMC dealer in the PDX area and owned by the Lithia group, so they can move a lot of volume.

As far as my family, we placed an order at the end of March with Robideaux Motors in Idaho. They offered supplier pricing. It might take longer than if we had tried to go through GMC Beaverton, but the savings is worth it to us.

Beaverton GMC said they had to change the way they do business due to the current supply chain issues, and it sounds like if something is on constraint they don't even bother to submit the order. As @StephenPT noted, they are owned by Lithia and move the most vehicles in the PacNW, so my guess is if an order is "good" (nothing on constraint) they submit the order and it gets accepted right away. Unfortunately, my vehicle wasn't aything special (or so I thought), but literally one thing after another was on constraint so I just canned the order and told them I'd wait for a '23.

Just a guess ... but given the Denali Ultimate is coming in the Fall, it sure would look bad if GM was like, "DENALI ULTIMATE! SUPER-CRUISE! MASSAGE CHAIRS! IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!!! *small print* super-cruise, massage chairs, front/rear park assist, center console, 2nd row captain's chairs, heated steering wheel, 4-way lumbar, Bose speaker system, Tech Package, Max Tow, Adaptive Air Ride Suspension, and folding side mirrors all on constraint and will be $50 credits to be retrofitted later*

Just a slightly funny way of saying I'm guessing (and hoping!) that the initial batch of '23's will be fully-equipped with no retro-fits needed.

Oh that js amazing fkr you!! We are still trying to get our order through Dave smith (they claim to be the largest in the Nw) and let’s just say we will never go through them ever again. Regarding Beaverton Buick GMC – I called a year ago trying to place an order and they said it just got too complicated because things were always on constraint. So they just now place whatever they can get and they are always sold before they ever hit the lot

My vehicle went to Midlothian from the Arlington plant on 04/13 and the dealership hasn’t heard anything. Did you at least get your VIN?
Any movement on yours? Still nothing for me.

The 2023 ultimate looks awesome! That would be sad if all these features were scheduled for a later retrofit. I did see some 2022s now have the front and rear park assist installed so that seems positive.

Nope, nothing and no update. My salesman said his managers are trying to get answers from their GM Rep...
Keep me posted if they get ahold of anyone who will give some other update - like an average length of time it might wait there before moving. Last chat with GM they said 6-12 weeks from order to delivery but then they couldn’t even tell me when the dealership had actually placed the order. I figured if I had that date at least I could try to plan out 12 weeks to get some sort of timeframe.

WAIT! 6-12 weeks is what the GMC Chat told you? It's frustrating that you get different answers from EVERYONE.

Yes! The guy a couple weeks ago said from dealer order to delivery is 6-12 weeks! I was trying to ask if that was a current estimate but didn’t get an answer on that. Do you know when your dealer placed the order? Maybe I can estimate mine if you know yours since they arrived a day apart in Midlothian.

Oh! Order to delivery...yeah, that I can see...I thought you meant that timeframe from Midlothian to the dealership.

At this rate, it's probably accurate for Midlothian to Dealer, if we are lucky.

That would be rough, 6-12 weeks stuck down there before seeing it at the dealership. How long has yours been there?

Just talked to a different dealership in the area. They just got 12 Denali’s in but they’re all sold. He said we’re better off waiting for the order because 2023s will take longer and face the same contraints.

Since 4/13
Ok so the same as Kate, I think hers was also the 13th. Mine was just a day earlier. Any update from your dealership on an estimated timeframe? Apparently they called today and said the delivery date had been changed to “NA” in the system. Ugh.

Last I heard, there was no ETA.
I just keep hoping each day will be the day the dealership calls to say the order is being delivered but trying not to hold my breath on that. Hopefully before the end of summer.

Ordered a Yukon Denali on October 18. Still waiting.
Visited dealer on May 7 and he said that the vehicle is waiting for the "Technology Package"
Dealer said the guy before me ordered his on September 29 and he is still waiting.
Can this be possible?
Is dealer honest?
