It’s funny the Yukon I am getting is going to be onyx black and show all of its chrome glory. Interior is very dark gray/brown. Beautiful interior color
Hope the process goes well for you. Make sure you find a high volume dealership that has a lot of allocations to order. I on the other hand have been looking for ones on the lot and it’s been a frustrating process. Luckily I found a dealer at msrp and put a deposit on one in transit. It’s supposed to arrive on 2/7.

If you are spending $100k, why are you not ordering the Denali Ultimate? Then you will have black chrome already...and you will have a heck of a lot more equipment on there besides the standard.
I would consider at least adding the advanced technology package...minimum. And perhaps the Premium Capability Package w/ Active Response 4WD, which comes w/ standard 22" Wheels...so your wheel upgrade won't be so expensive.
Edit: Oops, now I see this says GMC Canada on top; so this is in CAD, not USD...makes more sense now.
Hey yes the ultimate is 113-115,000k which is just to much for me and the biggest thing is I do not want the air ride suspension as in Canada where I am we get -40*C lots here and from what I have heard the air ride is a nightmare at these temps. So I wanted to say away from this option and the max tow which I have heard is a constraint and is hold up lots of vehicle so wanted to say way from that option as well. I found a very good shop close to wrap gloss black all chrome for 800 bucks so thinking that will be my option for the chrome.

FYI, I am in MN, it is -6F (-21C) here today, yukon has been in parking lot all day; I have air ride...so far..no issues.
I would still seriously consider the Advanced Tech Package, and, honestly, I think Max Tow is pretty well off constraint now (esp for higher trims like Denali).
From what I understand on Air Ride, there is a Service Bulletin out for the issues at cold temp; but it only covers vehiles from beginning of production for 2021 through Dec 1, 2021. Apparently, they think they have fixed it.
I only have it because I tow a lot (boat), so want it for the levelling...probaby smart to stay off it if you don't need it; but it is supposedly handled. See the thread on it here
ok I will looking into the tech package again can’t remember what it all includes?? And as for towing I don’t tow at all with my Yukon and if I did I think I would rather put air bags in rear than the whole air system GM has. I have a 2016 2500HD is my tow king.

Yes honestly the tech package there is a couple things would be nice but there is a lot that I really do not need like the whole trailering stuff, rear media system those are costly options I do not need at all. The rear view mirror Camera with spray my sales guy was adding he said he can get that added with out adding the whole package

I don't see max tow pkg on your list. Even if you'll never tow, it's a good option to have for resell. Plus it gives you an HD radiator and 2-speed transfer case.
Hahaha yes no max tow for this guy!!!

You're build is very similar to mine. When I originally submitted my order to my dealer way back in July I had the premium capability package as a must but after reading about issues related cold weather I decided that the benefits of the air ride isn't worth the potential hassles. Being in a location in Canada that also gets -30 to -40 and having a different sales manager tell me that the systems aren't designed for -40 kind of swayed my decision. I wanted the air ride for the ability to easily lift the vehicle a little bit. Instead I'll get a leveling kit that I've seen others on here used. Can't complain that the leveling kit is $300, compared to the $2000 capability package, aside from the other parts of the package. Last week my dealer finally called and said they might be able to get my Yukon built, but max trailer and advanced tech are on constraint again. I had wanted advanced tech but I bailed on that too. Once again saving money as advanced tech is now a $6k package because of supercruise and rear seat media. It's really annoying how they have all of these packages, but in order to get this package, you also have to get that package. I wish they would stop trying to trick the customer.
Long story short check with your dealer about advanced tech if you're considering it. I'd be interested to see if your dealer says it's on constraint too or if my dealer just doesn't have an allotment for it or something.

^^ I just ordered a Tahoe Z71 with Max Trailering in Canada too (Ottawa area) and my dealer said it didn't look like there were any constraints on my build, and they're the largest volume dealer in the region (Surgenor). They even showed me their pending orders for Tahoes and highlighted those that had options under constraint, so it **looks** like they know.
