Those with 2023 orders and updates.

Yeah, so as I said, that could explain much of your delay. But the good news is that SLT Luxury package and Max tow appear to be off constraint now. Now you will just be waiting for that diesel allocation

Definitely explains it...fingers crossed that allocation comes through soon!

The allocations are updated weekly as I understand it, but beyond that there's not really any way to determine when a dealership may actually be allotted a vehicle....correct?

Yes, allocations are usually updated on Thursday. The best source of allocation and constraint info at a dealership is usually their "inventory manager" who specializes in putting in orders. But most dealers don't let him talk to the general public. I was fortunate in that my current dealer allows me to talk to him which is very nice. Most of the time you have to work with a salesman and often they don't have (or even understand) the nitty gritty details of the ordering process.

We ordered through Dave Smith!

I do not have any personal experience with them, but I do remember ~20 years ago they were the place to go if you wanted a Dodge Ram diesel. They became a destination dealership and setup a shuttle from the Spokane, WA airport for people flying in from all over the country. Nowadays I don't get the impression they budge much on price and are living a bit on their reputation from the past. There's another forum member here that had an order through Dave Smith and I don't think it was going so well for them either. I also know that recently my father-in-law contacted them about a Ram diesel and they wouldn't budge below MSRP - there are numerous dealerships offering invoice pricing on Ram trucks right now.

Yea they are really popular where we're from (Nevada) for that reason and I see their temp plates all over town. Biggest reason we chose them is that of all the dealerships I contacted at the time regarding a Yukon XL and ordering, they were the only dealership I could find that wasn't up-charging on any sales or orders. Other than that I don't have a whole lot to go off of yet, hopefully that will change soon and I can update with good news...

I have a 2023 Yukon AT4 that has been stuck in code 4300 (immediate delivery) for over 4 weeks. Do any of you know of any reason it wouldn’t be shipped by now? My understanding is that 4300 means it has been manufactured and is ready to be shipped to the dealer.

I have a XL AT4 in the same boat. It's been at 4300 since early-Sept. Dealer and GM chat both tell me it's not missing any parts or chips. Just awaiting transport.

What is interesting is that for a while, it did not have a window sticker posted on GMC inventory page. Just a few days ago, one appeared. However, they told me that it wasn't missing parts even when it didn't have a window sticker and the event code was the same. So I'm not sure if I was getting good info or if the "no window sticker = missing chip" theory is no longer the case. Speculation on my end only... but I believe these 23 orders are complete but the shipping/transport is so backed up that they are literally just waiting on a truck to pick them up (I'm in Texas so no rail needed).

Either way, hoping to take delivery of mine soon and hope you can do the same.

Thanks for the info. I’m in Austin. My theory on when the window sticker gets created is when GM invoices the dealer which probably aligns with the missing chip theory since the won’t invoice until all the parts are accounted for.

How did you find the window sticker? Did the dealer tell you the VIN? I have an order # but not a VIN.

Dealer should be able to tell you the VIN or GM chat might (not sure about that). But you can also filter by dealer on the GMC inventory page. I was able to match one that shows "in transit" as the exact specs that I ordered, so I knew that was mine. If a window sticker is available, there will be a hyperlink just under where it says VIN number and "in transit".

How do I get to the ' GMC Inventory site ' ? I am new at this, but have had a order in since 1/31/22 that had to be reordered as a 23. Thank you. Or are you refering to the actual dealer inventory?

Anyone know if Max Tow is off constraint on Tahoes? If so, at what level?
Thanks!
