No Allocations, now ordering a 2026

[schmit55]

Our small dealer (who will accept the supplier/Friends and Family pricing) never got an allocation for a 2025 Yukon AT4 Ultimate (short)

So now we are waiting for an allocation to by a 2026 XL.

Is the 6.2L for 2026 ?fixed?

According to GM, the 2025 model year and newer do not qualify for the recall as the issue was related to manufacturing (which has since been rectified).

Whether you choose to believe that and buy one or choose a different powertrain is completely up to you.

Unless you absolutely need the 7th seat, take a look at an AT4 HD 6.6 gasser. No DFM or stop/start.

I've had two different GM dealership employees tell me that new 2025 trucks are still failing for the same reason. An owner of a large network of dealers told a friend the same and suggested GM doesn't have a clue what's causing the issue yet. According to GM's statement to GM Authority, “A series of crankshaft and connecting rod manufacturing improvements implemented on or before June 1st, 2024, addressed contamination and quality issues. Model-year 2025 vehicles were built after these improvements and are not included in the recall.” What I'm hearing sure makes it hard to believe that statement. We're in the same situation and if the 2025's are failing despite this statement, it makes me suspicious of a 2026 too.

If only they still made an HD Yukon or Suburban. That with a 6.6 would be the ticket!

Had a choice today to order a 2025 Yukon Denali and get what I wanted in two months or order a 2026 and get it maybe January. I'm choosing the '26 because I think the farther I get from the date of recall the better. Of course I don't know if GM is continuing to tweak this engine or not but I'm going on that theory.

Similar position. My thought process is further down the line when it comes to resale. Buying a 2025 now when the 2026's will start rolling out in a couple months seems counterintuitive. In 3-5 years if I choose to sell it, I now have a full model year older vehicle, regardless of when it was produced.

Unless there is a screaming good deal on a 2025 or youre in a position where you need a vehicle today, it doesnt make sense to purchase now instead of waiting

If they came back out with them, I'd trade my Silvy today lol

What you are hearing and the truth could be miles apart. Supposedly the defective engine has crankshafts that were manufactured by a low bid supplier in Mexico that had poor quality control. To rectify the situation they moved crank production back to Tonawanda NY. The bean counters had decided they could save money having them made outside of the USA cheaper. Now its come back and bit them hard in the arse.

I'm not here to convince anyone of the truth of what I've been told. I simply shared what I had heard from people I trusted, which contradicts GMs official statement, and convinced me not to buy a 2025 L87. None of us will ever know the truth about this entire situation.
