Worth the wait! 2022 Yukon XL Denali

[Vinnoto1]

After 10 months and multiple orders placed never getting accepted we finally got lucky and took delivery of a 2022 YUKON DENALI XL!!

I persistently checked GM's build tool matching the config I had on order, although I gave up after a while of multiple disappointing phone calls to dealers. Finally I found one, on a lot with my exact config but it was sold... A few days later I got a callback it was available, they were willing to take a deposit over the phone and deliver the car the next day with no mark up!!!

Don't give up...anything is possible and I have to say it is surely worth the wait!!!

I've attached a few photos from after the ceramic coating, tint and emblems were installed, I also included a few comparison pics for before and after. I must say you can definitely see a difference with the ceramic coating and I'm very satisfied with the results and making the investment in my vehicle.

Issues:

Car Play stopped working on the second day randomly; I reset all the settings on the infotainment system and my phone restarting both to correct the
issue.

Headlights: Same as many here are experiencing, my DRL only come on in low light or no light conditions. During the day/sun light my low beams stay on. I found on another thread the dealer needs to recalibrate the BCM for the ambient sensor to correct the issue, headed to the dealer Monday.

Beautiful rig for sure. That grill makes me think it is yelling at me when I look right at it.

Nice Ride, not too different than mine, except the color. You are def ready to haul the Secret Service

Persistency pays off my friend! Nice ride! Love the grill. My story was similar when I got Tahoe, called every where, found one online, called and was sold. Guy called me back couple hours later had exact same one in transit and snagged it.

I had a black 2017 Denali XL. It was beautiful. Black was quite an upkeep, but it looked insane. I said never again and have been white ever since......but your truck is gorgeous!! If that were in front of me, i'd be back in black!! looks great, best of luck!!

I’m same, had both black 19’ Silverado and 18’ Tahoe and literally washed 2-3 times per week. Now both white 22’ and 21’ and it’s once a week wash. But yea black Denali all chromed out is so sharp.

Looks awesome. My wife’s is very similar. When you say black emblems? You mean the grille badge?

Yes, gm accessory installed at the dealer, can’t order the car with them anymore from the factory.

My hope is with the ceramic coat it’s easier to clean and stays clean longer but only time will tell. I’m usually more partial to white or silver but have always wanted black!
