2025 Yukon/YukonXL Pricing

[mp5pdw]

The difference is cooled seats in the GMC on the AT4 versus the Z71 in Chevrolet, I would buy the Chevrolet but I really like that option and will gladly pay the extra for it

I like the Chevrolet dash better, especially when looking at the gauge cluster and how GMC has dead plastic around the square screen but GMC definitely wins on the executive seating package. awesome.

It seems the majority prefer a horizontal display:

The comments also reflect a similar ratio preferring the horizontal display over the vertical.

So glad Randoms are not making my vehicle decisions for me.

Thankfully you can have the chevrolet if you prefer. The GMC has moved up market especially with how much more standard features there are even on the base trim.

... but you're only sample size: 1.

I would agree with you if GMC maintained the horizontal screen or just used Chevy's interior. I think what we're saying is that GMC "thinks" they went upmarket, but in reality, they went backwards.

GMC is dealing with higher unsold inventory at the moment compared to Chevy.

If all else equal, I would prefer the GMC as it was a more premium brand, but not when they decrease functionality by removing buttons and going to a vertical screen.

What button was removed ? Premium brands sell less. You missed the point.

Personally I like the direction of the GMC interior. I also like that there's less of them around. I also like that first responder vehicles are tahoes and not Yukons typically. I also enjoy the more standard features. I also like the steering wheel design.

I know I'm a sample size of 1 but I buy them, I'm a real customer. Did you ever buy one?

To each their own. I plan on picking up the 25 with super cruise and the LZ0.

Dedicated buttons, not buttons (toggles) that require the screen to be functional to use like the ones on the bottom of that vertical screen in the 2025 GMC Yukon.

I think the point that was actually missed here was: GM missed the point of the majority of customers preferring buttons and horizontal screens.

Why would I buy a 2024 when the 2025 is around the corner?

Our decision will be based on actual market pricing of the 2025s. It seems like you're able to get $6-8k off 2024 Tahoes/Yukons/Suburbans these days. If that discount is not achievable by next month or December on a 2025 Suburban, we'll order a 2025 F150 Lariat Crew Cab with the 6.5ft bed and 5.0. GM 1500s are a non-starter with a 24 gallon gas tank. We'll see how pricing develops for a 2026 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban. Ford kinda shit the bed with their 2025 Expedition IMO.

That's exactly what I meant. For a buyer of the product I like the refresh. It has redundant buttons and toggles that light up even without screen use. It's no different than current gen in that regard.

Im also happy about super cruise availability across trims. And the improved diesel.

We own a perfectly fine 2023 and the refresh is enough to get us to buy the new refreshed one. Prices are irrelevant as these are not small purchases and a few grand here or there won't make or break the target audience.

Take care.

If the function of those buttons (toggles) on the 2025 GMC Yukon are dedicated HVAC controls, why not just label them as such? Why would they need to use the screen to provide that label? I'm not sure I would characterize those buttons as "redundant".



Pricing and timing are usually even more relevant on larger purchases than smaller purchases. We're not of the opinion that we should carelessly leave money on the table. We prefer to make purchases when it's as much of a buyer's market as possible. Not sure if you were trying to attempt a weird internet forum flex.

You realize those are the labels right above them right? Lmao, but you can also press them via the screen. Redundant definition: exceeding what is necessary or normal . Check out the 16 minute mark.

You have physical toggles and touch screen usability.

Yeah man idk I just remember you always having something to say but haven't actually bought anything. Last I saw you wanted an expedition but that was a year or two ago.

These will be had at msrp. I doubt you see any markups. The older ones 21+ are holding their value very well even as the market as a whole has softened. Interest rates are coming down which could Jumpstart some more demand. Vehicle purchases are always leaving money on the table. At 85k I'm not worried about a few thousand.

There are no labels on the physical toggles or buttons. The labels are only on the screen. If the screen dies, there's no redundancy. If those are dedicated toggles for HVAC and their functions don't change based on what's on the screen, then why not just label the buttons and save that space on the screen?

Pricing on the Fords in 2024 were okay especially if you used Granger Ford's quotes as a baseline to negotiate with local dealers. But I was also tracking the time between order and delivery for both the F150s and Expeditions in 2024. The lag time was just too long and unpredictable a the time. I wasn't going to order a 2024 model in October of 2023 only for it to be delivered in September 2024 right before a refresh or introduction of a new model year. It's definitely trending towards a 2-3 month timeframe from order to delivery. On Ford's weekly production updates, there are a lot less constraints as far as limited/exhausted availability now.

We usually have enough spare vehicles between us that in an event one or two went down, we would each still have another vehicle to use in the meantime. That's why we weren't desperate to purchase a vehicle right after the pandemic when it was more of a seller's market than a buyer's market. We're comfortable with waiting until we're in a more advantageous position as far as pricing goes. It's more about the principle than the few thousand dollars. All of our vehicles are custom order anyways and so we're accustomed to waiting 2-4 months for delivery.

The same applies to large purchases such as homes. Being able to de-couple the sale of your current home from the purchase of your next/second home is important in being able to maximize your advantage. For example, buying your next home in the fall when demand is the lowest and selling your home in the spring/summer when demand is the highest. But it requires you to have enough liquid net worth to be able to do so. I view car purchases somewhat similarly - I am reluctant to just throw away a few thousand dollars if I don't have to.
