If only all dealers would do that. The dealer down here had one listed that was in transit but turned out to be someone’s special order. The garbage dealers pull these days, price gouging and bait and switch tactics, are reprehensible. The fact that there are people willing to pay a 5-10k markup proves to me that there’s a sucker born every day.
I used to think the same on large vs small and I'm sure that's true more often than not, but the dealer I have the order through is a large dealer and they aren't getting jack squat from what I can see on the GMC website. We've been waiting 10 months with zero movement on our build....Meanwhile I found another dealer out of state dealer that says they have a pretty short order list and per the GMC website has received several duramax yukon XLs recently, but we put a deposit in with our original order so I have to figure that out before I can explore placing any additional orders with other dealers!
I keep telling myself just to be patient, but we are now 4-6 months past the timeframe we were told an order would take, and we are also a month or two passed the updated estimate we were given to get a 2023 when we transitioned our order to a 2023 back in July. Meanwhile I can't get a straight answer out of anyone associated with GM because no one seems to know what's actually going on. On top of all that interest rates have pretty much doubled from where they were when we ordered, and from where they were in the original timeframe we were told it would take to receive an order.
The whole process is just frustrating....and sometimes I like to whine about it...eventually we will get what we want, it just may be a 2043 model at this rate
What are you considering significant? From the articles I've seen, the refresh hasn't been all that dramatic.
Its not. Front and rear fascia and some more tech like potentially having super cruise/ultra cruise. I'm sure some more standard features too. It will take it's cues from the 1/2 ton full size trucks that are out currently.
I'm curious to see what the interior updates will be. Most of the spy shots so far have been of the exterior of the re-fresh it seems.
Same here, TPW 1st week of 23. 3.0 Denali XL, Max Tow, Air Ride, Sunroof, adaptive cruise.
GM Authority caught some spy shots, and it looks like some changes to the front headlight and grill design. Also rumored there is going to be more advanced driving aids.
Interesting - what do you feel like is missing or poor quality?
I think the hard part is 6 figures isn't as much of a differentiator in price as it used to be. For example, $100k for a truck even 6 years ago was pretty much fully loaded, and now you can spec escalades past $150k. I agree though that often times the differentiator's on the interiors with american manufacturers aren't as much as I'd like to see (don't get me started on the Charger/Challenger/Mustang interiors) and tends to be the imported german cars where you start to see meaningful interior upgrades as you move up the trim levels.
Yeah the Denali Ultimate seems to be adding a few features above a base Denali and pricing right in-line with an Escalade. I don't know feature for feature what's different between the two, but I just did the build and price on an ESV Prem. Luxury and it's right at $101K. The Escalade looks like it gives a much more premium interior - unique dash, door panels, seating, bright trim and carpeted inserts throughout.
I ordered a Tahoe Z71 with 6.2 and air suspension in may. Order has not been accepted yet.
Its a strange world when the TOP trim levels are pushed out last. My guess is still the Mag Ride and Air Rides very limited.
