Thanks…auto correct bit me there. My dealers custom order contract stated price paid would be MSRP at delivery unfortunately. If they weren’t the only one locally selling at MSRP (with actual allocations) I’d probably bark…

Base price on Yukon XL Denali w/ 6.2 l from this morning's GMC Build and price is $77,995, my window sticker from February has base price of $75,700, so looks like Denali's are up $2295 since Feb. Ouch, but not surprised...they are selling all they can make (well, maybe ship), and inflation is real.

So maybe paying a little over sticker now and getting it in the garage isn't quite so crazy vs I don't know when it will get here and ultimately what I will pay?
It's hard to tell the future and it's really a case by case situation.
I think if someone needs the vehicle as soon as possible, there's not a lot of options. Getting to the front of the line makes sense.
But if someone doesn't need the vehicle immediately and has an income stream that might benefit from a recession or deflation, it probably makes sense to wait 1-2 years for demand to rebalance against supply. Personally, I think we're going to be in a recession soon where demand for luxury goods will decrease. And within the next 6 months, GM (and Ford) are not going to be the only game in town for 1/2 ton full size SUVs. Now I think their products are still superior, but perhaps these days, the best deal you can get is the car you can actually buy. I think the market could change substantially in the next 6-12 months when you factor in the economy (demand) and competitors.
If you wait too long and have a trade, your trade value could also tank since the market conditions are not right. I am getting a premium for a 3 yr old VW Atlas trade.

I paid what we agreed to off of the GM workbench order form from 10 weeks ago. I had everything printed out, nothing was signed but we had a gentleman’s agreement. When I got to the dealership for delivery, the buyers order was at the new price. I said no we are not doing that and I told you we were not doing that. We had a discussion, I showed the documentation, and we moved on. STICK TO YOUR GUNS PEOPLE. You are already paying MSRP or above!

Who shops for vehicles months or years in advance?
If I’m vehicle shopping it’s only for one of 2 reasons…
#1 My current vehicle has problems and I’m dumping it..
#2 It is getting aged and I’m trying to avoid big repair bills. In that case I may order months ahead, or pick one up off a lot If opportune.
otherwise, many situations and things can change in the middle months for me to invest a bunch of time in it or I could change my mind 3 times based on current situations at that time…

It seems like you're already established and you already have all the vehicles that fit your current and future requirements. So maybe your priorities would simply be a replacement of what you already have.
I've always factory ordered my cars so waiting months has been normal. I currently have a spare car and but I'm looking to gain certain capabilities. We have a mid size SUV but I'd like to be able to trailer my track vehicle on a flatbed tilt trailer using a 1/2 ton full size SUV. It's a preference and not an actual necessity so I am able to wait until the timing make sense. We considered a 1/2 ton pickup truck but we don't know if we'll need more towing capability in the future if I decide to continue and go with an enclosed car trailer. (Yes, you may technically be able to tow an enclosed with a 1/2 ton but an HD pickup truck is preferred). If the answer is yes, then I don't want to deal with a trade in and transaction cost in the future. Meanwhile, the 1/2 ton full size SUV can eventually become the replacement for the mid size SUV.
So whether I purchase a 1/2 ton full size SUV is about whether I can venture further than the closer tracks like Summit Point, VIR, Watkins Glen, PittRace NJ Motosports Park to Mid Ohio, Road Atlanta, Carolina Motorsports Park, Lime Rock Park, and some other tracks in Canada.

I ordered my Tahoe Premiere in November, still at 1100. I think I'm going to cancel and get my deposit back.
So I guess it is official here: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/05/2022-chevy-tahoe-and-suburban-get-third-price-increase/
Just confirmed with my sales person, all sold orders are price protected. So the Tahoe and Yukon I have on order is not affected by this increase. The Tahoe has s TPW but the Yukon does not and is not officially accepted by GM yet. So that one might be up in the air.
As far as I understood, the order, whether picked up or not was price protected, as long as it was entered as RETAIL-SOLD not RETAIL-STOCK. A bunch of people are gonna get stuck in the RETAIL-STOCK order due to their dealer's order process. What I don't know is whether or not that price protection holds for vehicles that get rolled to a 2023. I have to find that out this week

I was told when ordering my Z71 on may 9th that my MSRP price would be locked in. Still not sure if mine will be a 22 or 23 MY. I sign a purchase contract and put $1k down. Are we only seeing a $1500.00 increase?

If your MY22 gets accepted your build will be locked in price wise. IF it has to get changed to MY23 because it didnt get accepted, then you will need to re-order it as a MY23 and will have to accept the pricing hikes. Your place in line at your dealer should be the same if your dealer has multiole orders for tahoes waiting for allotments. This is info coming from my dealer when we had asked about the cutoff for the MY22 and changeover. Since we have an order in and pricing set and signed on that its set if we get as a MY22. Hope that clarifies that some.
Didn’t see this in the link posted, but other sites are relaying that the dealer has one day to apply for price protection when the price increase is announced…..another obstacle.
here’s the text
”The production date, or build date, of the vehicle, must be on or after the effective date of the price increase. The dealer must submit the sold order to GM within one business day of the price increase. The vehicle must be delivered immediately to the customer who placed the order. That is, the name of the customer who ordered the vehicle must match the name of the customer who receives the vehicle.”
