What do you all think? Do you think these 2021-2022 Yukon Denali's will lose a bunch of their value in 3-4 years? Especially buying now since everyone is paying a premium? I have always purchased new but now I am debating whether it may be better to lease under these circumstances? I have a 2022 on order.

Welcome to the forum. With all the problems that GM is having with these new rigs, IMO, if I wanted one bad enough, I would lease and see about buying the rig at end of lease if you love the rig.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. However I do drive a lot. Like 15-20K miles/yr so my lease would be even more expensive. If the economy goes to crap, signing up for a lease might be the smarter move on a $90K Yukon? of course if the lease payments are 1300/mo thats like $46K over 3 yrs. I have never leased a car before. Always financed. Any of you guys Lease multiple cars? Do they typically offer you a good deal to buy at the end of the lease?
yeah, for sure!
If you bought a new one, what could you put down and what would the monthly payments be?
90K - 15K down, $75K @ 3% + tax would be around $1000/mo
Over how many years?

We're on our third lease, always way under allotted mileage. The wouldn't budge on the buyout on two GMC Terrains. We're going to buy this one even at price listed on lease. Be a super deal on the Tahoe with under 20K miles and it has been perfect so far. But the deals these days sure are a whole different story from what I see.

Have you received your Yukon yet?
Went through the same thought exercise, here is what I came up with, it has a few moving parts.
1) premium cost
- if you were buying all cash no trade, then yup, you are stuck with very low discounts off msrp (the 2021 my wife bought was a 10% discount instead of the usual 2x% from GMC)
- if you were trading then you recouped some/all or all of that differential
- I sold her previous vehicle outright on the open market and I believe I reclaimed the entire extra 10% of the new vehicle cost through the increased sale price of her previous vehicle
2) intent of a lease
- purpose of a perfectly neutral lease is to pay dollars to overcome depreciation (no more, no less)
- customer positive is that you pay less then depreciation
- dealer positive is that you pay more then depreciation
So with the above context, for folks who had vehicles to trade/sell ahead of buying new the depreciation against 'boot' price is nullified. Nullified in that they didn't have to pay more to get the next vehicle, the increased value of their existing covered some/all. On the other hand if someone was entering the market they are holding a 10% higher cost new vehicle which will be reflected in some amount of depreciation. I say some in that this 'may' balloon vehicle values vs 100% impacting depreciation.
personally,
I don't believe the 10% new cost premium is going to drive depreciation. Rather $6 / gallon fuel will cause that mess to occur.
With that,
I didn't see how leasing was a cash positive path for me as I didn't think the buy out prices added to the lease costs were a better deal then buying it new outright. But... if used values absolutely dive the leasing would have been a better option.
What dealer?
I think a lease is a way to go at this time.
