Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

[Jocko PDX]

In October of 2023 I purchased a 2023 6.2L GMC Yukon Denali. I have only put 9,100 miles on it and am thinking of selling it. I am seriously concerned about the engine issues that these vehicles are having.. I wish I knew what % of these 6.2L engines were failing so I could decide if it were worth the gamble of keeping it. In any event, I paid about $92K for it and put a $1700 set oz Yokohama Geolanders on it. If I were to sell it what is my best avenue and what should I ask for it? Craigs list? Facebook Marketplace? I guess another option would be to trade it in to the dealer for a model that is not having this issue..

Selling any vehicle private party is always more of a pain BUT youll get higher value (in most cases).

Your best bet is to get offers from Carvana, Carmax, Vroom, and any other online shop. Then also go on to KBB and NADA to get your vehicles value.

I would then trade it in to whatever dealership you are purchasing the next vehicle from so you can capitalize on the tax savings as well. If you dont do the first part, be prepared for the dealership to lowball you on the trade.

Many others have the opinion that yes the engines have issues but GM makes a LOT of these trucks and engines for years. We only see the worst/most vocal owners.
Is there an issue: yes. Is it extreme: yes. Is it really that prevalent? Eh. Debatable.

I think most ppl who have these trucks would recommend reactivating AFM and roll on. The couple hundred $ is going to be far less than the hit you will take on trading after two years. Roughly I think you might get about $60k for your truck. For better guestimates go onto Autotrader and do a national search of your model and year. Whatever you see as list, subtract $5-10k and that is likely what you will be offered. Few exceptions out here is Carvana or Carmax is desperate but will be pretty close.

Good luck with your choice and I think seeing how the NHTSA outcome pans out you might get a nice GM warranty for a long while to serve you and the truck.
