  1. https://www.autoweek.com/news/a45981507/2025-chevrolet-tahoe-and-suburban-refresh-details/
  2. Gave deposit to order 2024 Yukon AT4 when available. Have seen some rumors and disguised Yukon pics. What do we know for sure? Am guessing on dash trans selectors to move back to console IE the redesigned Sierra from 2023? And dash will be similar or the same as the Sierra? Looks like spy pics show a new wheel for the AT4? And reports of a factory 24" wheel?
  3. In our market, within 10 miles of my house, there are three Chevy dealers and two GMC dealers. Currently there are 100's and 100's of full size 2023 pick-ups, many now with dealer discounts of 5k off MSRP plus factory incentives, but only TWO Tahoes and ZERO Yukons. What is GM doing? How is inventory around you?
  4. Saw earlier posts but nothing concrete. Screens have worked well in our 2021 and son uses them for video games on trips. Currently factory shows them as NA. Has anyone added after market system that works well?
  5. Have had 2022 Yukon AT4 on order since October but still not build date. Latest update shows heated seats NA that dealer says chip issue. They added that at a later date the chips will be delivered to the dealer who can plug them in as the rest of the system will be installed at the build? Legit or blowing smoke?
  6. Dealer's around the state are starting to two tone pick-ups (usually with a wrap) ala 1980's. Wonder how long before we see the big utes?
  7. Has anyone moved up to a bigger tire wheel combo on the 2021/22 Yukon AT4? If so, please post a pic or two....thanks!
  8. (See my previous updates and suggestions to GM) Five thousand miles since last update. Only one gremlin popped up. Towards the end of a 700 mile Texas road trip, the cruise control would not engage and the TPI warning light came on. Scrolling thru to the Tire Pressure screen showed all four were OK and no alerts via text from Onstar on the low tire pressure. Arrived home and the next morning all was well. It was due for oil change so had dealer scan for codes but nothing showed up. Issue(s) has not occurred since. Have 2022 Yukon XL AT4 on order. Am moving up to 6.2 in spite of being impressed with the current 5.3 and the new transmission.
  9. Have an order in at two different dealerships for 2022 AT4 Yukon XL. As of now, still no production week(s).
  10. Be sure you can leave the vehicle while the entire download happens....dont turn off or on unless instructed. As above, it will eventually force you...better to choose on your time where you can wait for it...also park outside so no issues with interference.
  11. Thinking seriously of going back to XL from current 2021 AT4 Yukon (always drove the longer model since mid 90s)? Anyone have good info on when 2022 production is scheduled to start?
  12. Rolled over 17,000 miles this past road trip. AT4 continues to roll on with only a few minor (corrected) issues. From previous posts there were the too short pigtail wire and a couple of issues fixed with software updates. Beyond that, nothing....not even a rattle. Am always hesitant to buy first year new design but it has been rock steady. Gas mileage is finally back to where my 2017 Denali XL with the 6.2 was. Last highway trip (cruising in the 75 to 85 range) was over 18 mpg. The 5.3 with the new transmission is responsive and more that up to the task. Was worried stepping down from the 6.2. As advertised, the third row seat is now usable for everyone and not just 5 year olds like the old way before the IRS. If anyone from GM is reading, a couple of real world suggestions for improvement. 1) The hanger hook in the rear seat is way too far forward. If you hang anything you cut off your over the shoulder blind spot vision. Add to that the tiny hard to see blind spot indicator in the mirror and you are flying blind. The blind spot indicator light gets totally lost in the Texas sun and even at night, its tiny. Its a huge mirror...make it bigger and bolder and forget the symbols. The blind spot indicators on my Cayman are inside the car on A pillars. Two bold red strips on both sides that can be seen easily when looking down the road. 2) Continued complaint is the placement of the power window controls on the drivers door. Too far forward. 3) Why hide the Auto Shut Off override button down and below the steering wheel? 4) The retractable running boards retract too fast. If you open and close the front door they retract before you can even open the rear door. 5) Not a fan at all of the 1950's Chrysler push button transmission. Am finally used to it but come on. Appears to be a change for the sake of change. Had a neighbor back into the rear drivers door and also the dog leg so AT4 is being repaired. Insurance rental is a Expedition Limited MAX so have been driving it for a few days. The V-6 turbo is not up to the task, feels sluggish until you get some serious momentum going. Turbo kicks in above 4000RPM so def not in the everyday power curve. Controls etc just seem old design compared to the AT4. Ride is great but steering is very heavy and boat like. Having driven Suburbans, Yukon XLs and now this Yukon for the past 25 years, I can say I am not impressed with the Ford.
  13. UPDATE TWO - I let the update run and when done, battery was dead. Used OnStar for service call to jump and then took to dealer to check. On the way vehicle was throwing every error message including "Service Steering Column". Dealer fully charged and checked battery and reset to factory settings. When I put in park at home, the update message came on again (see below). So I let it run. Checked back in an hour and there was a sucessful update message (see below). Vehicle started right up no issues so all good. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UPDATE - Yes it is a software update....message came on radio screen.....do you want to start now (60 minutes). If so, turn ignition off. Vehicle is now updating...will check back on it in an hour to see if finished and shut down. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Has happened a couple of times. Turn off the ignition and exit the vehicle. The dash and dome lights as well as the radio stay on. Open and closed the door(s) a few times but still on. Locking with key fob shut everything down. In searching forums this has been an issue with other GM trucks/SUVs in the past. Most frequent solution is the system is updating and will shut off when done, especially when hooked to wifi. Will monitor more specifically.
