2025 Diesel orders opened

[AKComp]

I am being told by multiple dealers in North Carolina that ordering for 2025 Tahoe/Suburbans w/diesel engine is still not open yet. Which dealers did you guys have luck placing an order with? (or in what state?)

Also, the online builder still forces you to remove the diesel (at least on High Country) when you try and add certain packages such as Super Cruise or Rear Entertainment, for ex.

For those that successfully placed an order: how did you navigate this with the dealer to figure out an actual configuration that can be built? does the new vehicle ordering manager have the capability and system access to figure this out?

Looks like Diesel can’t have super cruise at the moment.

Somehow the Yukon Denali can get that combo.

I’m not buying until it happens on the Tahoe.

You will never find a "String" of T/Y diesels on ANY lot. Most dealers don't order them since they assume and mostly correctly are right that most consumers don't want them.
I would have bought mine off the lot if it was avail in 21, but mine ended up being an order that someone backed out of, and I was just in the right place at the right time.

If you come to them and you want to order basically a loaded ultimate LZ0 unicorn, they have no reason to think "let's give this guy 10k off and a puppy, just for calling..."

Exactly what I am seeing across multiple dealerships in NC. The diesel cannot be ordered with Super Cruise right now and none of them know when it will open up, which is frustrating… just means more waiting.


Inquiry response from GM:

Super Cruise, a hands-free driver assistance feature for use on compatible roads, includes automatic lane changing and trailering capability The the reqquirements for the High Country trim levels are Requires 4WD model, (L87) 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine and either (PCU) Sun and Tow Package or (PDM) High Country Deluxe. Not available with (LZ0) Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine or (ATT) second row power 60/40 split-folding bench seats.

Crazy hard to understand. My dealer (Sales Mgr) in Texas ordered what I wanted letting me choose each option sitting next to him on his order desk. Yukon Denali 3.0 came with super cruise- no options. He would run the selections and the system would accept or decline and we would reconfigure to get an OK. It seems each platform has different packages with different available options. Do they make any sense, absolutely not. I assume they have sales nerds that think up this stuff to sell more high end or sell more options folks don't want.
Now talking about a string of diesels, last September when I begin my quest for a White Yukon Denali Diesel 2wd. San Antonio dealer had 5 sitting on the lot. But I wanted the LZO refresh so I'm still waiting.

I would suspect that bigger dealers in Texas would potentially have more diesels, since Texans probably more understand the demands of driving across a huge state and long distances and the value a diesel delivers. Fuel is cheaper there too. Also, 2WD models are a big no go in the north....

I truly do not get it. The 2024 Suburban can be configured with the prev. gen diesel and Super Cruise!

Guess the options are... 1) wait to see if the ordering situation changes with '25 Tahoe/Suburban diesel + super cruise, 2) go without super cruise (which wife wants), 3) roll the dice with the lifter issues on V8

Anyone have a contact at a dealer or GM that can get some insight into if this is temporary or expected for entire model year? If I knew it would eventually change and we just had to wait a few months, I could just reset expectations with the wife

Talked with 2 different dealers In the DFW area on Saturday and neither of them was able to put an order in for me. Both said they couldn’t even put order in due to diesel availability. Any insight on when we can officially order diesel?

Has anyone successfully ordered an AT4 with the LZO? The configurator is quoting the LZO as being a $5K upgrade over the 6.2 and $10K over the 5.3 for the AT4. For the Elevation, the LZO is $5K more than the 5.3 and on the Denali, the LZO is $1K less than the 6.2. Whoever entered pricing into the configurator must have been drinking.
