Yukon Denali XL 3.0L diesel: Produced but no eta

[acapote86]

Looking for others with similar truck on order to provide info on their experience.

I ordered my Yukon on 1/28 with pano sunroof, 22” wheels, max tow, advanced tech, & duramax.

Dealer called me mid march stating I had to drop max tow and adv tech. I dropped it based on their suggestion. I received an update mid April the truck went into 3400 status. Then early May 3800. Now my truck is in 4B00 status since mid May with no eta to dealer and no shipping scheduled. Will I be waiting much longer? Any idea why this is happening?

I believe 4B00 means its been "Bayed". Prepped for shipping but not ready to ship. Probably waiting on other vehicles heading to a similar destination. Where are you taking delivery?

Lone Tree, Colorado… just south of Denver.

Bayed is good, most of us have our trucks sitting in a storage lot delayed. Like was said above, just waiting to hitch a ride on the train. It takes a few weeks to build the loads, and with other delayed trucks, just gotta wait for the right group with similar destinations to finally ship. Stick with your dealer at this point, once it is on the move, they can GPS track it and have a better idea of an ETA.

Thanks! Will do. Will post here once I get an update.

I've been told to specifically ask for screen shot/picture of VINVIEW (the tool they use to track it).

Random question, do all Tahoes/Yukons get shipped via rail first? I'd assume not. Do we know which areas are served via truck only?

Using Chevy's inventory, i can see that 6 Tahoes are "in transit" within 25 miles of me. I'd assume they'd need 10 or so to actually ship?

I imagine there is a range around the Arlington area they can deliver to, but considering commercial driver's hour limit, that radius is relatively small to account for driving to each dealer along the route, unloading at each dealer, and returning back to the yard.

Interesting point. What is the hour limit by chance? 8 hours? Considering round trip, really its a 4 hour radius?

I also pulled up a map if Class I freight rail companies in the US. Funny to see how rail is basically owned by a single operator depending on where in the country you are. An example is Memphis, TN. About 4+ companies operate there, but if you want to go easy of Memphis, your only option is CSX.

Arlington, TX, where our trucks are built is solely serviced by Union Pacific. If you're much further easy of Memphis (say in North Carolina), do you have to switch trains?

 

[acapote86]

I’m sure switching trains can make the shipping process a bit more lengthy. In central Colorado we are just 13 hours from Arlington. But based on the way the railroads work, likely still need to switch trains. Doubtful it will make it up here on a transport carrier.
