I have a 2013 LTZ. I kept it, as I didn't like the 2015-2020 body style or vibration problems.

Are there any inherent problems in the 2021 ? I would get the 6.2L motor with the towing package. and fully loaded with all the other options. I guess whatever model is = to a LTZ.

Any 1st year problems? or wait for a 2022 ???

I'm keeping my 2012 for another 1 to 2 years. I would hate to trade in a perfectly good auto to end up with a bucket of problems. I was trailing a 2021 Premium today, had the quad exhaust, and they look very low in the rear and bulky. Not sure I even like the styling.

I’d personally wait for the 2022. It seems like there are quite a few problems with the ‘21’s that GMC needs to work through.

I have a 2021 Yukon Denali that was mfg in and delivered in February. No issues at all -- other than a little creak in the passenger side dash, and the dealer fixed that pretty easily (also note that Houston roads are brutal on cars). I have a little over 2600 miles on it, so it hasn't been driven as much as a lot of folks' rigs on here. One thing to note -- I do not like the Bridgestone tires at all, so I am going to get those changed out to the Pirelli's after around 10,000 miles. I just can't get myself to replace tires this quickly. I wish there were places that would give credit for lightly used tires.

What problems? I was looking to buy a 2021 Yukon xl

Ive been seeing various people here post up problems they have been experiencing, but for the life of me I can’t remember exactly what they were. I’ll have to try and find the posts to reference back here. It seemed like a general consensus, but perhaps it was just a very small minority experiencing the problems. Like @JasonHTX says...he’s had no issues yet. But he only has 2600 miles on.

Here's a good thread ...

I hate to jinx myself but I just picked up a 21 Tahoe premier. It was made in February of this year. I would imagine that most or the earlier issues and tsb’s were addressed. Granted I only have 300 miles on her but so far so good. Tranny and engine work seem less
I think the HC would have been a better engine. I like many other would like the turn signals etc to have been full led. The seat belt minder is very annoying and the turn signal indicator needs to be louder
