My dealer finally got his allocation with the order placed 3/15. The Chrome 20" wheels are on constraint, so it did not get picked up this week. Hopefully a blessing in disguise.

Been a long wait and I have no idea when I will get my wheels, but our dealer is in a small town, small dealership and a good friend in small town Iowa. Life is good.

Hello everyone,

Congratulations to those of you who have ordered a new 2015, they are awesome! We are more than happy to help track your order and let you know where your Truck is in the production process. If you would like weekly updates on your new beauty, send us a PM with your order number, name and dealership. We will also be able to provide you your VIN once your Truck rolls off the line and has been produced.

The only catch is that when she arrives; we would love to see a photo!

Miles of smiles,

Kelly J.

2015i models with 8-speed start production on October 6. Anything built before that will likely be previous content (6-speed, etc.).

Anything ordered fresh after August 15 will likely end up being a 2015i. I think you'll be able to price the new version from September 4 onwards.

Yes, it is formally 2015i on all of the dealer bulletins and guides. Publicly, I'm uncertain how they are going to be presenting the updated versions.

I thought I read on the caddy board that any orders not picked up by the 27th will be edited to the new specs. Can anyone confirm? Does that mean if your picked up September 1st, that production wont start until Oct. 6th?

That's what I gather. I DO know that August 14 was the last day to order the 2015 model. Therefore, these orders will go to production and be built through September. From August 15 onwards, supposedly those orders will be held; then "pulled forward" to the early September ordering cycle and be converted to the 2015i models for October 6 production.

I DID message with a press member at Car and Driver Magazine via some texts and he seemed to mention that they are awaiting the release of the 2015i in the Escalade and Sierra trucks before they have any real road tests and review articles as the 2015i's are the more representative sample of the new Denali/Escalade/Sierra 6.2L platform for the next 2-3 years vs the predated/early release 2015s FWIW. This is probably why most reviews of these trucks are simple overviews and summary tests and are not yet the full elaborate published magazine tests as of yet.
