OEM Premium Package ...not from the factory

[todayusay]

Looking at purchasing a Yukon...can't swing the extra $10k from a Denali and have seen several SLTs with the Premium Package that look pretty good. But it seems that most dealers stay away from ordering them that way...they order the SLEs, bare SLTs, and then the Denalis. A base SLT with the premium package (only) would sticker right at $62k.

The premium package simply gets you 22" wheels, different grille, bodyside molding, and exhaust tip....the wheels and grille are actually installed already at the dealer...

was thinking about just getting a SLT and then having the dealer install the four items..anybody gone this route...and if so -- how much did it cost?

figured I'd check what others may have paid before approaching the dealer...

How much would it be to purchase the parts separately and install yourself?

you'd save more by buying the necessary items and installing yourself. may not save all that much to order items and have dealer install them. Might as well just order what you want from the start at that point IMO

ballpark prices from the local dealer...grille - $700, molding - $200, tip $100, and 22s - $3400 ....also said 22s are pretty hard to order these days...I'd let dealer do the molding (for warranty purposes) and then probably the grille and tip myself...the 22s are the issue. maybe not such a good idea---package price is right at $3100 from the factory

Factory 22s are easy to come by and for a fraction of the price you're being quoted.

Very small savings if any and no warranty. I looked and ended up buying the SLT with the Premium Package and very happy with it. Bonus mine came with the 8" DIC which is perfection and wouldn't want it without it now that I've had it.

Here is end of the sticker. I had GMS, lease loyalty cash, $1000 dealer cash and $2000 rebate so I drove away extremely happy and 3/36 bumper to bumper on everything.

Base plus options - sorry took the photos out of order.

Warranty on what? The wheels would be the only thing I could see needing warranty.

....a, well everything. Grill was replace on my friends SLT, as it had a clip break.....to say only a wheel needs warranty is a bit short sighted as almost anything can need repair - it's just when you are gambling on.

Not really short sided. I am more inclined to think your friend hit something causing the grille tab to break, but either way he got it repaired. The cost savings can be several thousand depending on how you purchase which would pay for any random repairs plus the possible money recoup from the sale of new take off parts. If the money really isn't an issue then by all means order it how you want.

Warranty on exhaust tips, side molding and a grill?

If that's perceived as gambling then you should stay far far away from Vegas!

Several thousand on the premium package, the whole package cost less than 4 thousand I guess I need to see your numbers and what you're buying and will the Chrome really stick to the wheel for more than 6 months????

Had my truck for 2 years and zero issues with the chrome so I would say yes.

most of the SLTs (with the premium package) we are finding have a MSRP in the upper 60s (and beyond) and although we may end up with one of those, a base SLT with the premium package from the factory stickers for ~$62k...we are also wanting the 2nd row bench seat and seems like most dealers just get a little click crazy when they order these...

the only reason I mentioned warranty on some of the items is that we've had factory molding replaced on two different tahoes under warranty

and yes - since the wheels are the bulk of the cost of the package, figured I'd see what is available out there online (which was the main reason for the original post - to see if anyone has gone through the steps of doing it themselves)

As long as you're comfortable, a molding is likely much cheaper to take a chance on replacing and isn't very hard to do. Many have bought factory wheels and added to the their trucks, not sure what wheels the platinum uses but I am sure you can find a set.

How so? Grabbing a new silverado in the next year, interested in your answer.

Wow these are some crazy numbers. I did it for much less.

I have a loaded SLT. The only thing it doesn't have is the Denali gauges with heads up display, HID headlights and the larger engine.

Denali grill is $340 on eBay, Aftermarket HID headlights for $130, bought factory chrome body side molding for $75 on eBay (not installed yet), bought fake chrome roof rack cover on eBay for $100 (the quality is not nearly as nice as factory but no one can tell). mine already had factory 22s but I swapped them for black factory ones. Sold my own rims so I only paid $400 for the black rims.

You could get replica Denali 22s for $1000. I sold my factory 22s on Craigslist for $600. I bought black factory 22s for $1000.

Anyway you get the idea. It's possible to do it for much less than what the package cost.

Start watching Craigslist and eBay, depending on your area, how far you're willing to drive, negotiating skills, and if you will buy quickly. You should be able to grab a set of 22s with tires for $1-2k.

Yes it seems that most have the second row buckets which I wanted but many like the bench and are harder to find in SLT. Best of luck, you'll end up with a great ride any way you go!!
