2022 GMC Yukon Gets New Denali Black Package

The 2022 GMC Yukon arrives as the second model year of the latest fifth-generation vehicle, introducing a select number of changes and upgrades over the preceding 2021 model year. Among these is the addition of the new Denali Black Package.

The new Denali Black Package for the 2022 GMC Yukon is tagged with RPO code RGF, and is available as an LPO-level option (that is, installed at by the dealer, rather than at the factory) for the range-topping Denali trim level.

Notably, the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Black Package follows the cancellation of the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali Performance Black Package, the latter of which GM Authority previously covered back in late September. Now, the package has returned with the same RPO code, but a new name and almost completely different features.

The new Denali Black Package for the 2022 GMC Yukon now includes the following content (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):

  • Sport Pedal Cover Kit (SBZ)
  • Illuminated front and rear door sill plates (S0M)
  • Black illuminated GMC emblem (R88)
  • Black nameplates (RIK)
  • Illuminated mirror GMC emblem (S3I)
  • 22-inch selective machining Carbon Flash wheels (SIY)

Pricing for the package isn’t available yet.

Further updates in place for the 2022 GMC Yukon include the deletion of Smokey Quartz Metallic and Dark Sky Metallic with regard to exterior paint colors, while Redwood Metallic will join the options list. What’s more, the 2022 GMC Yukon will come equipped as standard with Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist, as well as a new 12-inch digital instrument cluster.

Additionally, the 2022 GMC Yukon AT4 will now be available with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, whereas previously, the AT4 was only available with the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84. The AT4 trim level continues to be unavailable with the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine due to clearance issues with the front bumper.

Back in May, GM Authority actually suggested that the GMC Sierra Denali needs a blackout package such as the one just announced for the Yukon. However, we’d go a little further and black out the window frames, or what is also called the DLO (day light openings) trim.

    1. Since this a free country, even the boomers have the right to express their opinion, and yes we will vote with our wallets!

    2. I am not a boomer, but black rims are so original, you never see them and they look so cohesive with the tire and paint colors too…

  2. Skip the 2022, what about all the 2021’s here in Arlington, Tx sitting on both GM plants parking lots, and the land they purchased to hold all the other thousands of Yukons, and Tahoes? When are they going to start selling those? And why is there no producton any of the GMC or Chevrolet lots? Oh yeah and why are some dealers selling these vehicles for 5000.00 over MSRP?

  3. Disappointed that it doesn’t get rid of all the chrome. You still have all the ugly chrome on the side, grille, etc. I was hoping this would be a way t get blacked out looks with the top trim goodies.

  4. Do yourself a favor and if you have one of these vehicles, have a quality body shop dismantle and paint all the chrome parts black. This is the best and most permanent way to get black out. Gloss powder coat your rims, and you will be done. All the things the factory should do a good body shop can do in less than a week.
