I have a 2022 built in April, no problems so far other than the wonky daytime running light sensor, 5,500 miles so far and loving it.

21 premier, 16,000+ miles. No problems, best ride we’ve ever owned. I would say if your getting it at sticker or below then your not gona lose on this, the big GM suvs and diesel trucks have always been some of the best resale vehicles for decades.
We have the same as you, zero problems.

We have a 2022 Z71 now, had it for about 3 months, 10k on it and other than the headlight sensor no "major" issues...the only thing that perturbs me is when you use the button on the tailgate, it opens only about half the time with one press....the other half of the time the first press makes it unlatch and to make it open you have to press the button again (the button on the tailgate, not the remote)
I had the same problem and giving the switch a "healthy" squeeze fixed it for me and now opens every time as it should.
Our 2022 Yukon SLT 4wd 5.3 with max tow package now has 6k on it towing a 4,000 pound trailer 5,000 of those miles with no issues other than the headlight sensor which was replaced right after I got it. Just got back from a 3,000 mile trip yesterday towing our travel trailer and averaged 14 mpg. We had approx 1,000 pounds of cargo and people in the Yukon and a hitch weight of 540 pounds and the Yukon did squat some but it never felt out of control at any time and rides great. Big improvement over our 2015 Yukon we traded in!

I've been pretty deliberate with ours and it still does it...seems that it'll do it if the gate hasn't been opened in a few days. And then it'll only do it once during that day...haven't had it happen where i've opened several times throughout the day and then it does it, always happens on the first attempt that day...almost like the computer system is surprised by it

I suspect when/if GM decides to do away with the V8's like Ford and Toyota that's when all if the brands will officially be crap in the large SUV segment. I was a Ford Expedition guy until they dud away with the v8 option. No way a turbo charged v6 will last and low and behold I was right. I had a 2013 Nissan Armada which was ok but the design was so dated. I'm happy with my 2016 Yukon SLT. Just hoping for no lifter issues.

2022 Premier, 4000 miles in eight months, 6.2, no problems.
My retirement job at the Ford dealer used to be various tasks and swapping new vehicles around the Southeast when they called. The swapping is down by 99% maybe. Now it's mostly bringing in vehicles for service on electronics, "reprogramming." Some of these customers I know by their first name since I see them so often. The last one was a hybrid F150 that the owner felt was dangerous with many issues. He stopped at a light and had to put the gear selector in Manual to make it move. As I returned to the dealer it seemed to be OK until I passed slower traffic with the cruise on and it slammed on the brakes for no reason. The drivers behind me had to figure I was a huge jerk.

Exactly what my 2022 does. It's done it since day one. It's starting to piss me off along with a handful of other issues (nothing major, just stuff that shouldn't be happening on a brand new $65k vehicle)

If I press the button on the tailgate it will open every time without fail if I've used it recently. If it sits over night and I go to put something in it the next morning, it's about 70% chance it won't open on first press. It seems to only be with the button on the tailgate itself. If I use the key fob or button inside, it works every time.

Are you meaning that you gave it a healthy squeeze once and then it worked every time going forward? Like maybe your healthy squeeze may have put something back into place that was off that was causing the issue? Or you have to give it a healthy squeeze every single time you open it with the tailgate button?

I mean I have to give it the "healthy" squeeze every single time I need to open the tailgate. Easier to just use the hands free under the rear.
