What lead time are you being told on an ordered Yukon?

[Midcont]

In my case its a 4WD SLT XL.
I ordered the truck early May and was told probably three months which makes it early August.

I was told the factory was having problems with the sunroof supplier and it was delaying everything, but mine was ordered without, so it may get completed sooner, again what they said.

I don't know if any of this is true so wanted to see if anybody had any knowledge. Three months seems awfully long for this type of vehicle.

I have not gotten any updates from the dealer in the month since I ordered it but have not contacted them either (I was told they'd contact me). Thoughts on this? Should they have more info at this point?

What are the status' of production that will clue me in and whats the lead time for each of them?

Thanks

Don't hold your breath, Josh. Already past 3 months wait and they haven't even built it yet. Anyway, here's a good site which tracks production:

I agree.
Who knew GM would have their heads up their back sides?
I've never waited more than 5 weeks for a Tahoe order, but the deal was made and were unfortunately adding miles on the dealers trade in. So both of us are not happy.
Lots of Hoes and Yukons around here also, but no Champagne silver Denalis with shale interior, with touring and 22".
So we wait...
It's only a vehicle.

I was up visiting Jacob this weekend, drove 1.5 hours OUTSIDE of the small city he lives in, and they had 4 Yukon's sitting on the lot. I think there were 5 on the lot at the dealer 10 min from my house. Unless you are wanting something VERY specific, I would not wait as long as some of you have

I can see a wait for Denali's/Escalades because they are last in line, but a SLT or Tahoe... not so much

Ordered my Tahoe LTZ at the end of April, was told it was built the beginning of last week, was told it was waiting for the truck on Thursday, was told it was picked up on Friday and delivered to the train. No time given when it is going to get on the train.

Ordered a Yukon Denali April 1 or 2, 10 weeks later it's still at 1100.

The last reason for a delay is that this is a "hot" seller. This is a vehicle for those who can afford to flush money down the toilet, and 99% of Americans are not in that position.
Ford focuses are hot. The Chevy Malibu or Silverado are hot sellers. The Tahoes and Yukons can sit for months. My local dealer has had two 15' Yukons for over two months and they are still there.
There are new Denalis sitting all over Buffalo for over two months.

Hotness of sales are not the cause.
I'm guessing it's two things. One, they still have a large supply of leftovers that have been sitting for months, and are reluctant to rebate them beyond chump change, so they sit. Local dealer has a lot full of 14' escalades sitting.
Two, GM doesn't want any more bad press or recalls. Especially after the well publicized Yukon test drive fire, they may be releasing them slowly in order to simply monitor them better.

If there ever was a company that can process orders into vehicles in a month, it's been GM.
So, those who have an existing special order must simply be patient.
