I have been trying to spec out a suburban or Yukon xl with the LZO duramax and second row bench seat. When I delete the buckets it deletes the LZO as well on any of the trim levels. Seems it was this way in 2025 as well, but I may be wrong, if anyone has a 2025 or has ordered a 2026 with the duramax and 2nd row bench seat let me know. I’m finding it hard to believe GM would not have that configuration as available.

Definitely no '26 Denali with LZ0 and bench second row. I was only given the option of choosing a color. Perhaps even more frustrating is that the 2nd row exec buckets do not fold.

Because owners of full size SUVs never have dogs. Wtf, GM? Another slimy way to upsell us?

I don’t like captains chairs, especially when the 3rd row is folded down and you have cargo back there.

Pretty lame you can’t get a Denali, diesel, and second row bench. Also lame you have to pay for the entire reserve package if you want the diesel in the Denali.

You can get that on a custom order. You can even add a sunroof, but don't try adding 22" wheels :)

Perhaps now? But in the July - August time frame, it was "pick a color". Otherwise, if you want a diesel Yukon Denali, you're getting a loaded Denali Reserve whether you want it that way or not. In the end, come to learn after the purchase that the captains chairs I didn't want, don't fold down. So much for the "U" in SUV. This is all Mary Barra's fault -- I don't believe she is a real car person.

Other than the middle row chairs, the potentially grenading LZ0, and an ASS setting you cannot permanently disable without spending money in the aftermarket, I like the truck.

Agreed it’s Denali Reserve or bust in Canada too if you want the 3.0. The cap chairs down fold down? For real?
