Not sure I know how to find that info. Point me in the direction and I will do. I know I picked it up right after it came in. And found it while in transit 3-4 weeks ago

In between the driver side door and passenger door jamb there should be a sticker with said date. Mine read 5/21. Yea I got mine 2 days after it came in. Didn’t even have actual pics on the site. Went in looking at the dark gray and came out with the blk.

Have wanted an upgrade for a while and kept my eyes on trucks heading into the dealers. Found what I wanted. Ultimate package. Everything. Some pictures, some thoughts and a question

the question. Are there that many issues with this years engines? I’ve tried to see if there is a way to determine if one has a ticking time bomb. I’m sure many better minds than mine have too. Would appreciate any info on that

probably 2 negatives with now 500 miles on it.
The dealer didn’t do what I would consider a real once over of the interior. Lots is small marks. Came out easily but to see dark finger marks all over the A pillars, parts of second row, etc just shows sloppiness from a dealer, who lets be real isn’t doing much nowadays.
Second small issue was first ride I hear something drop. Look back and above the second row seat the small square airbag plastic piece just fell out. Won’t go back in. Just. Odd

oh yes a third. When closing sun roof the rubber seal in the front gets pushed up. Result is loud annoying whirling whole above 50. Loud. Fixed it by closing again and pushing rubber down from above. Again. Odd

the good
So much.
ride quality is phenomenal.
interior quality is still shocking to me. Very very nice and many others can’t believe it in person
Most people don’t turn heads for big SUVs. This one. They for sure do
Good tech, hvac is powerful. Seats are great. It just eats up any road. Is a pleasure to drive and my first 200 miles on a highway were a joy.

still some things to figure out for sure on the inside, no matter how many videos I have watched.
Oh and second row media. I’ve seen it’s split on people liking or wanting. I think they are great. Great quality picture. So easy to use and play anything.
Stereo is not a top notch one like the Escalades higher one, but still quite good.

I’ll say the interior again. The Teak in person is truly beautiful.

Sorry for bad formatting on my phone. I’ve really appreciated this site. Just need to figure out floor mats.
Congratulations on the new ride. :)

I’m waiting for mine, most likely a 22. But when I see the new Yukons/Tahoes I still have to keep looking. :)

The Denali is the sweet spot in GM's lineup. This color combination loaded with everything but the sun roof and rear entertainment would be perfect.

Great looking Denali! Congratulations! My Denali has a build date of week of 7/5 and I can hardly wait. I got the Pearl Beige Metallic with the Teak and Shale interior.
What day was your order accepted? I placed an order May 17th and I don’t have a build date yet.

Congrat's!!! I purchased mine in January, same color and interior using employee discount. I was very speculative as to wether I would like the color. It took 12 weeks to receive it and when the dealer took me out to view the vehicle I could not wait to sign the dang papers and take it home. To this day I just love my Yukon Denali and yes it is a head turner.
