Those with 2023 orders and updates.

What color did you go with? Also did you add super cruise?
We did pearl beige with super cruise. We were told by the dealer we had to order super cruise as it’s standard. Hoping that’s not why it’s not getting picked up. It also is an employee order.

Also an employee order — well a legacy as my grandpa was a 40 year employee.

Car is black with Supercruise. Only thing they pulled off was the floor mat “protection” package.

I just read an earlier post of yours. You ordered an xl? We did the regular Yukon non xl. Maybe that’s why nothing yet..

I almost pulled trigger on a black ultimate xl few weeks ago but I wasn’t happy with our trade in for our 21 Tahoe. And after that I was like ya know for $98k I’d rather get a Escalade sport in white with whisper beige/black interior for $4k more. It wouldn’t have air ride or retractable steps but I’d be ok with that. I think the steps are actually too slow of a mechanism, they just look really cool at night lol

Funny, I had the EXACT same thoughts, if I could get an Escalade Sport for less than $10k more, sign me up
Problem is, it’s equally as difficult or even more difficult to get an Escalade
Air ride is a must by the way, I’ve driven both back to back, it’s a pretty significant improvement

I have a dealer I can order an Escalade for gms, but I think I’m leaning towards waiting for the 24’ refresh

From what I've gathered - some of the options are being restricted based on trim level. RSE might be available on Denali or Ultimate, but not available on Z71 or AT4.

Agreed, just that DFW Clay and I both have a Z71 ordered during the same time frame (ordered 8/28, TPW 9/19) so I thought it was odd. Any who, asked my dealer but probably I'm out of luck if I still want mine built next week. Just annoying as it's one option my wife wanted for the kids (regardless of the mixed reviews of it).

Also that I've had a Yukon XL on order since March but with the 2023 constraints pushing people to spend up more, I wasn't too confident in getting it in time for Christmas or spring break road trips.

Does it bother anyone else, when you're spending nearly six figures on a vehicle, and the salespeople know less about the features than you do? I think of it as poor training, and if the front end doesn't get any what about the service department?

I guess I didn’t listen to video, just sent him the color he ordered. Looks nice. But yea most buyers know more about the car than the salesman. Which is wrong.

Factual though. I think the issue is there are not any on the lot available for any salespeople to play with.
Although a good salesperson might spend some time in the forums and learn!!

What bothers me more are the threads where the service department can't find the TSB's..
Heck, go to the NHTSA web site, type in a model, you can be up to speed on all the TSB's, they are all listed under "Manufacturer Communications"

The more technology built into cars, the harder it is to remember it all. I kinda don't blame them.

sold cars for 6 months 20yrs ago...the best salesmen didn't know jack about what they were selling...allowed them to not mislead the customer...always easier to just say, "I don't know but I can find out for you..."

 

[UsualSuspect]

Has anyone successfully ordered a 2023 Yukon Denali diesel in the past 2 months? My dealer says GM will not accept or give an order number, to any Denali with a 6.2 or LM2 unless it is an Ultimate. My salesman is the former General Mgr at the store and has treated me great on the past 2 vehicles. Hoping to avoid any future price increase from GM with their sold order price protection program.

I am being told the same thing, either order an SLT or an Ultimate. October will mark 24 months since I started this process, so far GM lost my business annual truck order, and lost all our salesmans vehicle orders to the competition 2 years in a row. My sales guy isn't happy he lost almost all my business, but as they say, if you can't deliver what I need, I will go where they will. GM really needs to take care of their long term customers.
I am also now speaking with a different dealer, see if they can get it in a few months or I am done.

 

[DFW Clay]

Whoa... I have a 2023 Suburban Z71 on order, TPW 9/19, but my dealer said the Rear Seat Entertainment wasn't an option/available. May I ask where you ordered from (looks like you're in Dallas). I went through Classic in Grapevine, similar (fast) timeline as you though.

Yes, I ordered with Classic in Grapevine. When I inquired with them when the 2023 orders first opened, they told me RSE wasn't available, but when I saw on this forum that someone saw a dealer stock 2023 with RSE, I inquired again and it was available. Classic in Grapevine actually got a stock order 2023 RST in Silver Sage with RSE that we almost bought (saw it with my own eyes) but it had a bench second row and we wanted bucket, so we ordered.

I'm not so sure an SLT will get picked up sooner depending on what you want. If you want the SLT Luxury package (which I've decided is a must for me), it is at 0% constraint until November. I actually am trying both configurations: An SLT diesel with Luxury package/Max Tow or a base Denali diesel. Because the diesel is so severely constrained I don't know which one will get picked up sooner.

Well, my Yukon ultimate came in damaged. 10k worth of it and my dealer rejected it. Don’t blame them, I don’t want a repaired one either.

This was not a “order” car but I had a deposit when it came in. O’well, now I need to find another. Or a Escalade with no mark up. Lol.

I just read on another forum that the Arlington plant is closing for up to 2 months due to window actuator shortage.

What happened??? This will be my luck. I am waiting on an ultimate that is supped to come in 9/27 and I've been told that it's "in transit" but I was also told that back when it was built in July. I also put a deposit on a navigator that's supposed to be coming on 9/23 because I'm so sick of waiting

Don't believe that at all, GM would do everything and anything to keep that plant open. The products from that plant is what is paying for almost everything GM is doing in regards to their EV's

Said both bumpers damaged and door damage. So they rejected the delivery. Not sure how that works for them, but it sucks for them as they only have 2 Yukons on the lot and they lose this sale. Need a SUV for 179 tax deduction before the end of the year. It’s not looking good with how long everyone has been waiting.

Maybe this is a sign as I hated our 08’ Tahoe when we had it.

 

[tom3]

I wonder if it was actually damaged, or they got an offer they couldn't refuse? Did you get a VIN number for it? Sometimes you can trace that through the BMV or other sources to check on it.
