On 2/24 I was lucky enough to find an in-transit Yukon AT4 that didn’t have a deposit on it so I quickly paid the deposit. At that point the dealer said that it had a 3/9 delivery date. That date has come and gone obviously. On 2/19 it moved from Arlington, TX to Springfield, IL. And sometime between 3/8 and today it moved to Wentzville, MO. I know that there’s a GM plant there but I believe it’s for pickups and mid-size SUVs. Anyone know why my Yukon would go there all of a sudden?

Who are you getting this info from? If not from your dealer then call your dealership and have them track it in VINVIEW to get a more accurate location. VINVIEW uses the vehicles Onstar system to locate it.

That was from my dealer.

I know there is a holding facility in Wentzville. Pretty sure they unload ALL makes of vehicles then transfer to car carriers and distribute from there. I have no idea what their delivery radius is. How close are you to Wentzville MO?

About 3 1/2 hours.

For the last 9 months, I haven't been so lucky with in-transit Yukon AT4's. They always seem to be spoken for before they make it to the dealer. That eventually lead me to placing an order of my own on 2/22. I know it hasn't been a month yet, but my dealer informed me it would be at least 8 months before I see it. That's pretty much at the end of the model year. So, I was lucky enough to find a few AT4's scattered around the country, so I'll just bite the bullet and pay the "market adjustment". You'd think they'd lower that price, considering gas prices, but no.

I lucked out. My Yukon AT4 was not spoken for and they were selling it at MSRP.

The place where I ordered mine at was only charging MSRP... I know most of Texas is also selling vehicles at MSRP. I came close to getting one from there twice, but the customers made the purchase.

The AT4 I'm getting this week is on the lot, and they're selling it $3k above sticker. It's nothing to brag about but I can live with that. Compare that to the $15k (above MSRP) in my own state, and that $3k is a bargain. The only logistics I need to iron out is the paperwork and the payment.

I'm jumping on this thread a little late. Similar to Torry, I lucked out on a 2022 Tahoe Z71 that hadn't yet been purchased. I now find myself in the same situation as the vehcile having been shown "in transit" for the past month. It's currently at the distribution center in Fort Wayne, IN (which is only one hour from the dealer). I have contacted Chevrolet's customer service every day for a week and they claim they cannot give an ETA. The dealer is being told they can no longer go pick the vehicles up from the distribution center either. Has anyone's situation on this thread changed in the past few weeks (or are there any other suggestions to get to the bottom of when this will be delivered)? Thanks in advance!

Just an FYI once the car is produced there is no reason to contact chevy chat / customer service line

Thanks First...any suggestions on how to get more of an ETA, or am I just "stuck" until it shows up at the dealer?

For your situation I honestly don’t know. I’d think at this stage your dealer would have to do some lobbying to GM on your behalf. Im not sure who you have been engaging with at your dealer but it would need to go beyond your salesperson I’d assume

Do you know when the car was actually produced and what the TPW was? Maybe that’ll give you some clarity as to why the original buyer backed out, if it’s been stalled here for quite some time

Thanks again for the reply. I've been dealing with the General Sales Manager at the dealership, so I will push a little harder to see if they can make any more headway.

I am not 100% sure on TPW or actual production timeline (other than it's been more than four weeks). I will keep everyone updated as to my progress.

Does anyone have experience with how long it takes to move from Arlington to the Sewell Dallas Dealership? My order from December was finally built last week, now just waiting on it to move 20 miles east.

There has been a lot of trouble getting trucks/drivers to do the "last mile" deliveries from the rail yards to the dealerships. My dealer told me if a vehicle is marked as sold (when the order is placed, instead of dealer stock) or if they request rail yard pickup, they tend to move quicker on delivery to the dealership.

I waited 3 weeks from the time my Denali was unloaded from the rail car to hauler then delivered to my dealer.

My new Silverado was produced 3/14 in Fort Wayne, it’s sitting waiting to be loaded and taken to dealer, code 4800, it had a delivery of 3/31 but never showed. It was 4B00 for a bit but just changed to 4800 yesterday so I’m hoping comes next week.

Mine was marked as retail sold and taking forever, different dealer nearby had stock refresh Silverado’s get delivered faster. It’s a damn crapshoot
