2023 orders open?

[bunky319]

I'm not sure what's going on....but I don't see the same Onstar requirements for my Suburban as I did for my Yukon XL in the Order Guide. Also, the Build and Price of my Suburban still shows the same price from last week but the Yukon XL is $1500 more.

I sure hope they are not making that Onstar requirement for the Yukon line and not the Suburban.....If so I'll probably have to go that route even though my wife prefers the Yukon grill.

I'm hoping things are still getting flushed out....

A few minutes ago my dealer contact texted and said she's rebuilding my order (Yukon XL SLE w/ Duramax) as a 2023 and will e-mail the GM Workbench order form with the new pricing. I guess we'll see if that R9M code is added to my order... I really like the look of the Yukon compared to the Suburban and when we built our 2022 order it was only ~$1500 more for the SLE vs LS trim. The Yukon gets the digital dash, larger infotainment and a few other things that made that price difference easier to justify but if we start talking about a $3K or more price difference, then we will likely go the Suburban route.

Please let me know what you find out. I'm also going to chat with my Chevy dealer and get more specifics on a Suburban build. It just seems really hard to believe they would bump up the price on one line but not the other....time will tell....

UPDATE: I just placed an order for a 2023 Suburban LT and the dealer didn't know anything about a requirement to add OnStar. The price was basically the same as 2022 but I added the new black grille (RZB) which is an $850 option. I'm hoping to see some pictures of it before I have to commit. So the mystery remains..is the Yukon XL really going up $1500 (SLT model) because of an OnStar requirement but the Suburban is not? As it is there is a $3K price difference between my LT and SLT configs and that is including the new black grille.

My Chevy dealer sent me a 2023 Tahoe work bench build with a real 6 digit number on 06/13. I think it may be open already.

I'm waiting for a callback from my dealer contact on the order books. As soon as I know for sure, I'll post here.

 

[GTPace500]

Well, just got my callback: Currently, 6.2L and RPO code "RGK," which is "Premium Package 2" are currently not available in the orderbook. Also to note, SuperCruise is not yet an option available for selection in the order book.

This is the current press release for the 2023 Tahoe, btw:

MSRP should be listed on the workbench print out...is it listed or is it blank?

It is all W/A (no price, he said they did not have prices at yet)

We also tried to add Premium, Premium 2 or Adaptive Cruise last week for my Tahoe Premier; it did not allow to add those in the work bench. The 2023 order guides also confirm that they will not be available for initial production.

 

[bunky319]

In case you guys are confused, I asked the Mods to merge the "2023 Pricing Announced Today" thread with this one since there was a lot of overlap

The inventory manager said to remain patient as they'll likely have more info next week, as well as the possibility of knowing what other RPOs are open then.

I received my GM Workbench order form from my dealer for a 2023 Yukon XL. It has the 3-year OnStar package checked and my dealer said it can not be removed. She said that as of June 1st, all GMC vehicles with the Google infotainment system require that package. Sure enough when I went to GMC.com and built a 2022 Yukon XL, that option is checked and can't be removed. Same for the 2022 Sierra 1500. It appears this is only a GMC requirement and not tied to the 2023 MY or just the Yukon.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I called back one of the Inventory managers at a local dealer and asked him if he has heard of any way to remove that OnStar requirement. He said "no". I asked if he had any idea why GMC would have the requirement but not Chevrolet and of course he had no idea. Seems very strange to me. At this point I may be leaning more towards the Suburban than the Yukon XL to save some money. One of the main reasons I had been leaning towards the Yukon was my preference for the Yukon grille. But the Suburban now has a new optional black grille that might change the equation. Still planning on putting orders in for both models and firm up my decision later.

 

[UsualSuspect]

Not sure if anyone has run across this or not. My current 22 order status is 2000, I called and asked the Dealer if it would be a 23. Their answer was, we don't know, as long as it sits at 2000 we can't change it to a 23. They said as long as it is sitting at 2000, GM is saying they accepted it and will build it, so they have to wait for GM to tell them they can't. They also said if GM doesn't build it as a 22, mine will be at the top of the list for 23 builds. Are they blowing smoke up my backside? We ordered a Lexus LX600 this past Saturday since GM is struggling with builds, the Lexus should be here by the end of July at the latest.

 

[DarkHorizon]

Now that I've waited 6 months for mine, I really feel like I want to get the super cruise to ease my pain on not getting a truck for this years race season. I am probably going to be forced to leave my 2022 and subsequently the converted 2023 order in the system while I wait for the end of the year for supercruise ordering to open up I imagine?

 

[StephenPT]

Just got an email from my dealership… the OnStar requirement for Yukons has dropped to $905 (from $1500). Not sure which trim levels this applies to (ours is an SLE).

Wow great news! Still wish it didn’t exist at all but definitely better.

I’ll have to see if that is the case for SLT.

Thanks again!

 

[rmsnickers]

Is that including destination as well? There was a recent $100 increase on destination.

Yes.

 

[GoHeels]

Spoke with my dealer today, direct with the owner who is also the inventory manager. I’m not entirely sure I follow or understand what he explained to me, but it was basically…

Yes they can order 2023s.
Order guide isn’t complete so pricing on certain packages and accessories is not available.
Impossible to even submit an order with luxury package.

Supposedly a big hold up are window switches.

 

[Chad G 1979]

Window switches? Those are in nearly every new vehicle built. Could he have meant sunroof switches possibly? I cant imagine them building thousands and thousands of vehicles without switches, as to install them, they would have to tear down every single door on every single vehicle built. So if they produce 1000 vehicles a weel, that is 4000 doors to remove and install switches in and then reinstall them. Then again, they might be that stupid to do it that way.

 

[GoHeels]

I'm fairly positive he said "window switches" but I could be wrong. It was a long conversation so I definitely could be inserting my own facts.

Either way, switches are essentially the hold up. Whether window, sunroof, lights, etc... switches.

I ordered a '23 Yukon SLT and the dealer told me they could not submit my order because of the luxury package. Not sure what the hold up is because all the items in the package have known retrofits.
