2022 Denali ordered.....now the wait begins

[~Wicked~]

Figured it was time to upgrade my '15 Denali 2500HD.  Not looking forward to the wait but I ordered a Denali 3500HD (6.6 gas SRW) with I'd say most options (damn chip shortage will hold this up I'm sure)

 

For you guys that already have bought '21 or '22 is there anything you wish you had added or something that you wish you didn't spend the money on?  I didn't add the Kicker stereo (still time to add) I'm just not sure if I'd use it much.  Only time I'd really want to use it would be when loading/unloading a trailer but you clearly cant open the gate all the way when I trailer is attached.

I have a 21' 2500 Chevy High Country now but my previous truck was a 20' 1500 AT4 with the kicker in the tailgate. The sound was awful on that thing and it would only be good for listening to podcasts. It would not sound good for music. Save your money and use a good Bluetooth speaker.

This is what I was thinking, that's for the reply.

Well change of plans.  Just put deposit on a 2022 2500AT4 Duramax that is very well optioned with event code 4000

Don't really need the diesel but what the hell.

AT4 just went to Event Code 4150 and I got Window Sticker

Test drove AT4 and fell in love with the Duramax but not the AT4 look so I ordered another Denali with a Duramax

Nice!

Getting what you want provides the good possibility it will stick around longer than if you'd compromised.  Besides the Denali is an awesome truck. From the front end to the interior, it is pure class.

So you were able to transfer the order over to a Denali?

I ordered a Denali (6.6 gas) in August but an AT4 that someone ordered became available.  I put deposit on the AT4 thinking I might buy it (and gave me time to research some and decide if I really needed/wanted the Duramax).  Well after driving the AT4 with Duramax both the wife and I loved it but just didn't love the AT4 look vs the Denali.  I was able to also drive an SLT HD with the 6.6 gas today and I'm def. getting a Duramax although that 6.6 gas was pretty nice (much improved over the 6.0) So the dealer was fine with me ordering another Denali 3500 with the Duramax.......they will just sell the one I ordered back in August with the 6.6 gas and order me the same truck but with the L5P.  Sucks that I have to start the wait all over again but it will be worth it.

Well said.  I tend to keep my vehicles for a while and I would have been happy with that AT4 but I personally like the Denali look more so it's worth waiting for what I want.

Well the 1st Denali I ordered has been built (11/3) and is now sitting in Flint @EXCEL LOT/LAKE STATE RAILWAY (11/12)

2nd Denali still at Event Code 1100
