Our order was finally accepted today! Hopefully we can get it in the next 8 weeks or so.

So long as the 3.0 gets up to highway speeds without making me feel like a snail, that is all I care about - buying a 5,705 means speed was not my priority. I care about crusing at 70-75 and averaging 26+ mpgs.

I have a 2024 Yukon XL SLT 3.0 diesel (LM2). Gets up to highway speeds just fine and plenty of pep around town. It’s a highway torque machine and doesn’t downshift a lot, even going up moderate hills. I don’t think I’ve filled up worse than 19.5mpg on a tank and 25+ on the highway is basically a given subject to bad/cold conditions, wind, lots of hills etc.

Where I see some underwhelming highway pull is when travelling at highway speeds and then “punching it” to pass a car. This is where the LM2 lags. Hoping the LZ0 with the horsepower bump pulls a bit better in that regard.

Looking forward to hearing from the group on this. I’ll probably keep my current ‘24 Yukon and trade in when the next generation launches unless the LZ0 is a major game changer (not sure that’s the case).

My order was submitted 11/23/24, accepted on 3/31, left the line on 4/7 with an estimated delivery date of 4/28-5/12

So hopefully you all will get your trucks quicker also

Hmmm. My Yukon order was accepted close to 4 weeks ago and I haven’t heard a thing from my dealer.

After talking to my dealer this morning about it. They stated that official production starts March 3rd. They're currently assigning allocations and I should find out by next week (Thursday) if my order has been picked up for the March 3rd build date.
I placed my order for my Z71 3.0 Duramax in February and I still do not have a build date as of 4/14. Does anyone have any idea when production will really kick in? I only found one Z71 3.0 Duramax at a dealer in Oklahoma as of today so I know they have build at least one....

LOL My order was accepted in February and I still do not have a build date. I suspect you might be waiting a bit longer than 8 weeks....

I’ve ordered every car I’ve ever bought and this will probably be my last Chevy order ever. It’s been such a joke time wise as well as communication

The one in Oklahoma appears to be an outlier...and makes me nervous to pull the trigger. Was it a test build of some sort?

I was told Z71 Suburbans w/ 3.0 will be the last ones off the production line.

Has anyone here taken delivery, or received a build date, for a Z71 Tahoe 3.0 yet? Once those start being built, the Suburbans will follow

Chevy should have been more upfront about the z71s being even later than everything else

My HC 3L has been built and is awaiting shipment to my dealer. Not sure how long that process normally takes, but hopefully not too much longer. Dealer was able to confirm that it's been built but hasn't been assigned a transport carrier yet.

Chat on chevrolet.com is reporting:

"Congratulations! Your vehicle has been produced. It is important to know that shipping arrangements will take place next and your selling dealer is the best source for additional detail on that process."
Likewise for me. Built week of 3/31 and dealer has told me in transit to holding lot in Maryland. Expects it at dealer next week.

I'm anxious to see how the LZ0 diesel is compared to the old LM2. I had a LM2 in a 2023 Yukon and I thought it was very lazy. Seems to be fine in a pickup truck but our SUV's are a lot heavier and push a lot more wind. The 6.2 moves it without effort.
I had a 2023 Tahoe HC diesel that I loved (when it wasn’t in the shop - electrical issues). Just finished buyback last week and expect 2025 next week. Will post any differences.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I loaded my 2023 w/5 passengers, a 70lb dog and a full load of cargo and get 28mpg+ driving I95 at 80mph.

FYI - ZERO allocations this week nationwide because of Easter weekend
