New Order Turn Around Times?

[apex944]

What's the general lead time on the 2024 Denalis with 6.2L, air suspension, max towing package right now?
Not looking for much more as far as options go. Are we looking at 6-8 weeks? Longer?
Going to talk to dealers next week but wanted some thoughts from this group first.

I ordered a diesel Yukon XL SLT with the premium/luxury package and max tow in mid February. Was told to brace for 3months +. Did the GMC chat thing with order number the weekend of March 8th and was told I had an assigned build date of week of March 11th. Just heard from my dealer this past week that ETA for delivery is week of April 15th. So, 2 months if all goes well.

Obviously not sure if any of the Denali items are constrained or not.

It should not take that long these days.

It should not take that long these days.

I ordered mine end of October and it took 4 months for delivery. But that was immediately after the GM strike ended so they were still getting up and running, and then they shut down the plant for Christmas too.

Went to the dealer today and was told it is taking 6-8 mos for any custom configured builds. Going to call around some other dealers.

The dealer plays a large part in the order to delivery timing. Dealers are hamstrung by the allocation system and some just don't get very many allocations - especially smaller volume dealers. One dealer might tell you 6-8 months and another might have exactly what you want on a truck being delivered in the next week and if not can get your order built in less than 8 weeks.

Use the inventory search tool on GMC.com and set a radius - I did that to find what I wanted and ended up taking a one-way flight to get mine.

In light of the comments above… yes allocation is important. I should add that my dealer sales manager emailed me on a Thursday morning he just got allocation (after they lost out on a dealer trade they tried to do for me earlier that week) and they said I had until end of day Friday (ie the next day) to submit the order. My truck build week was 4 weeks later, and the latest update is 5 weeks from build week to final delivery. I would only order from a dealer that does have allocation so I would call around.

This is exactly what I am doing now. Thank you!

At what point after ordering with the dealer do you get an order number?

The day he submits the order.

The day he submits the order.

Yep I received mine immediately upon submission as well. Before I left the dealer.

Just an update. Order submitted Feb 16th for an XL SLT diesel with a few options.

It just arrived by train at our local autoport in Nova Scotia today. Now just need to wait on the local shippers to drive the truck up the hill to the dealership. But, 8.5 weeks from build in Texas to arrival in Nova Scotia. Pretty good! It was built about 4 weeks after the order went in so I’m sure those of you in the states, or even the central parts of Canada ie Toronto, would get it much quicker.

If the dealer actually has the allocation and puts your order in with GM then you should be able to get an order number immediately. Don’t get screwed like me. I just recently went to a new dealer to place my order after the first one kept me on the hook for 8 weeks. I checked in with them weekly only to be told that the order was placed and they were waiting for GM to pick it up in their system. Come to find out they never got an allocation for a Denali with reserve package so my Yukon had never really been ordered.

Update on my order. Ordered a Denali Ultimate with the Duramax 3/14/24. Showed up today 5/15/24 "In Transit". I did order from a high volume dealer here in Michigan. Now, I wonder how long it take from TX to MI?

 

[AEHaas]

6 weeks from when the dealer put in the order of my custom Yukon Denali until it landed at the dealership for me to pick up.
