The 2022 GMC Yukon is the second model year of the latest fifth-generation vehicle, offering a few changes and updates over the initial 2021 model year. Originally, the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali was poised to offer the new Denali Performance Package, enhancing the SUV with a few exterior styling and brake upgrades, as GM Authority covered previously. Now, however, the Denali Performance Package has been canceled.
It’s unclear at this time why General Motors chose to cancel the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Performance Package, or if it will be reintroduced at a later time.
Originally, the package was tagged with RPO code RGF, and was set to be offered as an LPO-level option, which means it would have been installed by the dealer, as opposed to at the factory when the vehicle was initially produced. Content originally slated to be bundled with the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Performance Package included (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
The 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Performance Package was set to be offered exclusively for Yukon Denali and Yukon Denali XL trim levels, with late availability in the 2022 model year. Now, however, General Motors has canceled the optional package outright.
The 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Performance Package isn’t the only new option that’s been deleted. Additionally, the 2022 GMC Yukon Black nameplate (RPO code RIK) and Black GMC emblems (RPO code SFZ) were also deleted from the options list. Both features were previously set to be offered as LPO-level options.
Further changes expected for the 2022 GMC Yukon include deletion of the Dark Sky Metallic and Smokey Quartz Metallic exterior colors, while Redwood Metallic will join the exterior colors list. The latest Yukon will also come standard with Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and a new 12-inch digital instrument cluster.

GM atm is saving money because of the chip shortage and recalls. So how do you save money? You cancel low volume options packages.
You are wrong as usual
Glad to know I was right!
is that your ego talking?
Haha gmc= gay mans chariot
I hope you didn’t rupture yourself thinking that one up.
No it’s common knowledge this phrase has been around a long time. I hope you don’t rupture yourself when you complain here shortly about getting downvotes.
Imagine using "gay" as an insult in 2021..
You don’t have to imagine anything just read it.
Imagine making a comment in hopes you get upvotes.
Good, maybe it will help kill the blacked out trend.
Can someone tell me the status of my 2022 Escalade order?
How about contact the dealer you ordered it through?
Lol that’s to obvious for him to think of.
at this rate they may as well skip the 2022 all together
Just got a call from the dealer. They cancelled the Sierra Denali Ultimate (I had one reserved)
You probably didn't make the cut for this years production.
