25 diesel

[vincentc77]

Anyone have a good idea when the 2025 diesel will be available?

Spring 2025

Yes, my dealer says it is delayed until March, 2025.

Any idea for when Denali Duramax can be ordered? Ordering gassers but not the diesel now.

That sucks. I was hoping it would be January.

Yukons already have diesel equipment in previous years. Change is the new LZO which seems to be very similar. Why will it be next spring to get one. The dealers cannot even order one. Whats the delay?

My dealer said he did not know the reasons for the delay. It is not just the LZ0, but also Super Cruise delayed until February, and 24" wheels delayed with a TBD delivery.

He said I could order now, but my order would sit in a "sold orders" queue until March. He also mentioned the options packages prerequisites could change by then. Since I want something like an Ultimate AT4 or Denali with LZ0, bench second row, all the trailering options, 22" wheels and no super cruise, I guess I wait to see if there is more flexibility with the packages come March.

Or get in line now and monitor, then adjust order if flexibility comes. Worst case, cancel and make new order if they won't adjust.

My last visit to attempt an order, the LZO package now comes with super cruise required. Go figure?

 

[dbphillips]

Amazing. Is that in any trim line, or higher trims?

I'm wondering whether with a deposit, if you could negotiate a price right now. it might be advantageous as the climate may change in the spring and things could be more expensive..Especially on LZ0

The optional diesel engine will have late availability as GM waits for official certification from the EPA.

They are already using it. Why does it have to be certified again?

Different vehicle configuration.

"like" doesn't mean I am happy about it. I tried an XT4 and a Denali. I could not configure either without super cruise. The good news for me was the ability to choose 8-passenger package on the XT4 so that I could have a second row bench. However, I think I would rather have a Denali. Oh well.

Anyone know much about the LZ0? The Facebook group for this engine seems to have a lot of posts about issues with it. Having said great, I know those with issues are more likely to complain vs those who are having a great everyday experience but seems to be pretty consistent chatter on there.

I currently own a ‘24 XL SLT LM2 diesel with 8,500km/6,000miles with the lux/premium package but kinda wish I got the Denali and of course the LZ0 has a bit more HP juice in its specs . With ‘25 build prices, I’m not sure I want to fork out an extra $10k for the Denali on top of whatever resale value I lost on my 2024. I’m guessing it will be minimum $20,000 out of pocket to upgrade and probably more like $25,000 after taxes.

Just be careful when reading complaints about anything, there are alot of people just do that just to bash the product and probably don't even own the product. Think of it this way I could join and Ford or Dodge or what ever forum and jump on the complaint wagon just to bash it on whatever issue there is just to raise the panic. I see it alot on other forums where people join and bash with only 5 or less posts only to never be heard from again. Facebook etc they all have them. Buy what you want and don't worry about what other people say.

That's why I waited for the mid cycle refresh. If I really liked it then I may go for a 25. If it really turned me off, I could quickly order a 24. Fortunately, I think the 25 with the LZ0 is the way to go. I'm willing to wait for it....

Aren’t you in an Ultimate already? lol

Well, I'm in a 21 Denali and they really didn't have the ultimate back then. But we have had a situational change here in the last year and my daughter has had twins. They need a huge vehicle desperately and I'm going to give them mine and buy a new one. I don't need to do this, but I want to do this. I would rather see my kids have some enjoyment from my things while I'm still alive. It's kind of stupid money to be spent but frankly I like vehicles, and I really don't care anymore. I want to die with zero....
