Should I stick with my Premium pkg ordered Yukon Denali or get one less equipped available now?

[Lisa Ketsenburg]

I ordered a premium packaged Yukon Denali on May 17th. The order was accepted. The salesman told me I might get it in July. Now the dealership is telling me they have no idea when I will get it because of the constraints. There is one available at the end of July without as many features. It doesn’t have retractable sideboards. I’m only 5ft 3 and sort of need those . But maybe the regular ones would work…?.?There are not any on the lot for me to try. Thoughts. The other premium package items are not a big deal to me. My brother said to wait because I will be getting a 2022 instead of a 2021. I’m not sure what to do.

I have the fixed running boards on my Suburban and they have worked out just fine. In my opinion, the retractable boards are just something to break, while the fixed running boards will always be in the proper position for you.

If your local GMC or Chevy dealers do not have any new Suburbans/Tahoe’s/Yukons in stock, you might want to look at the 2015-2020 versions to compare running boards since they should be similar.

Retractable boards drop lower than the fixed ones.

I’d wait it out if I was you.

If your order was accepted then it shouldn’t be much longer, I would wait. We have premium package and retractable steps and very happy with all the features.

In general, most people who wait things out say it was worth it. This is an expensive and long term investment. I'd never settle for less than what I want....

A Denali without power running boards would be like a birthday cake without candles. I would wait.

First, is there any urgency in your need to replace your existing ride? Is it reliable etc?

Second, will the dealer honor the original purchase agreement if the new one becomes a 22 and miles continue to accrue on your trade? If you are trading, that is.

OP, I tried ordering Denali back in mid May but order was stuck because of the constraints, Tech package is under constraint so premium/ultimate won’t get accepted. If power boards are the most important piece for you then you can order them and individually all other packages that are part of premium except for the Tech package. Or wait till constraint is removed.
That’s how most dealers are ordering their stock lately, you can see individual packages on the sticker in all new arrivals.

Wait. Good things come to those who wait.
