My dealer called today- Yukon XL SLT Summit White with Black interior 2nd Row Bench w Duramax Diesel is on the lot. MSRP is $67500, selling at sticker price. Debating whether or not I jump on that one and skip out on my XL Denali on built but sitting at Midlothian. Price difference is $13k between SLT vs Denali. Denali has Sunroof, Captains Chairs, 22” wheels. Sitting at midlothian since 5/13.
Does the one on the lot have any packages? I know for me, the surround HD is very important. For the SLT it comes with a package, Denali it's included in the base model.

I'm in the same dilemma

No packages on the slt. The only option is a 3 L Duramax would you pay $1000 for.

This Friday will mark 6 months since my Denali XL was built and sent to Midlothian. Still no window sticker.

I hate being a pessimist... But a word of caution to everyone finally taking delivery...

Recap (ordered June 2021, took delivery September 2022)... Sat in Midlothian for 3 months.

Warning - Your vehicle sat in Midlothian for a reason. I was told on more than 1 occasion that they couldn't handle shipping so many vehicles. I was told only once it was a quality control issue. I was told multiple times, mine lacked no chips.
Upon delivery we discovered that a whole body panel had been replaced post assembly line (it still had polish compound against the seals and windows). Sadly, despite knowing they needed to tidy up some quality, the replaced body panel is shoddy work with multiple sections of paint that aren't done properly (the color is there, but there is pitting or missing clear coat).

I have a punch-list with my dealer for multiple things that don't work... Adaptive cruise control, passive door locks, "key missing" upon re-entry, rear lift gate not opening 30% of the time, car shaking >65mph....

Take your time upon delivery and assume something is wrong. Vet it out, and get stuff in writing with your dealer to resolve it.

Man that's a bummer. I'm making sure to take delivery of mine in broad daylight and will be thorough with my inspection. Thanks for the heads up.

That's ridiculous, I can't even imagine. I'd probably snap and have a mental breakdown. Mines been sitting since April.

When was yours built?

I have a 23 being built in October, maybe I'll just wait.

Is anyone taking delivery of yukons with the max tow option? My order has that but I'm wondering if that's a big reason for the delay. Not seeing any on the lot with that option either.

Mine was a Suburban, but yes, it was max tow + Duramax. Waited 15 months.
