General Motors introduced a brand-new fifth generation for the GMC Yukon nameplate with the 2021 model year. The 2022 GMC Yukon follows as the second model year of the fifth-gen Yukon, introducing a few relatively small changes and updates. Now, interested customers can spec theirs using the official online configurator.
Some of the updates between the 2021 model year and 2022 GMC Yukon include the deletion of two exterior paint options, namely Dark Sky Metallic and Smokey Quartz Metallic, with Redwood Metallic added to the paint lineup. Additionally, the following 22-inch wheel options have been deleted (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- 22-inch Black Gloss wheels with Chrome inserts (SHD)
- 22-inch 6-spoke Midnight Silver machine-faced aluminum wheels with Chrome inserts (SEW)
- 22-inch Carbon Flash Metallic wheels (SEZ)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Bright polished wheels (SES)
- 22-inch 6-Spoke Low Gloss Black Wheels with Machined Accents (SEV)
- 22-inch Bright Chrome wheels (SF0)
The above deleted wheel options are replaced by five new wheel options, specifically:
- 20-inch Multi-spoke Gloss Black wheels (SEM)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Gloss Black wheels (SRV)
- 22-inch Black wheels with selective machining (SRL)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Chrome wheels (SSI)
- 22-inch Multi-split spoke Chrome wheels (SSW)
Further updates include availability for 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine as an option for the 2022 GMC Yukon AT4 off-roader, while all trim levels now come equipped with the 12-inch Multi-Color Enhanced Driver Information Center (RPO code UDV) as standard. Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning are both included as standard as well. The Denali Black Package (RPO code RGF) is optional for the Denali trim level.
As before with the 2021 model year, the 2022 GMC Yukon rides on the GM T1 platform, and features an independent rear suspension. Engine options include the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, all of which connect to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both a standard body length and the extended body length Yukon XL are offered, the former of which is 210.7 inches long, and the latter of which is 225.7 inches long. Production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Arlington, Texas.

Went over the configurator and in a quick glance don’t see if they are offering adaptive / radar cruise control on the AT4 trim. If I understood the 2021’s correctly, only the Denali had this option. Am I missing something? Or, is this a potentially delayed option due to the chip shortages?
No adaptive cruise on the AT4.
That seems like a swing and a miss. Hoping maybe its just chip shortage related and gets added as those become more available. I have adaptive cruise in my current vehicles and use them almost everyday. Wanting to upgrade to a larger vehicle in the next year and this is definitely a con when comparing to others in this space.
Yeah, the adaptive cruise does work well. I had a ’21 Tahoe High Country for 14k miles. It really shines on the interstate where there is traffic and speeds are constantly changing.
That said, I have a ’22 AT4 on the way and the only thing it doesn’t have that the Tahoe had is adaptive cruise. I’ll miss it from time to time, but not a deal breaker for me.
Yeah, understand that. Wish that it didn’t have to be compromises at a luxury level but, I guess that opens up a whole list of items that are compromises for this trim. Just seems like it this case it doesn’t make sense.
I have my 22 Yukon Denali came in the last week of October and when I order it in September it wasn’t an option.
How did you get yours so fast ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I’m ready to order one. Not going Denali this time, as it was painful to take it out in the fields deer hunting and off-roading being such a nice truck.
The At4 is a natural choice for me but two issues 1. Doesn’t offer diesel, and more importantly, 2. The interior color is terrible. Who thinks a black interior with brown accent stripe is a premium interior?
Thanks to GM’s poor contenting, I’ll just get a SLT as it has a much nicer interior choice. Can’t get power running boards on either trim anyways.
The AT4 bits would be nice, but when I’m using the product I always see the interior.
Retractable running boards are available on the AT4.
I like made in America but it is too bad GM stopped making sedans so now I have buy a foreign car to get a hybrid.
Yo ne sesito una yokun por mi des capasidad . Si fuese diesel mejor porque aca es muy caro el conbustible. Cuato es el balor de ese veiculo.

English.Speak it.
Nesesito valor del veiculo.para postu lar porel grasias.,
I am sure that the 2022 GM Yukon will be a nice and adequately powered vehicle. However I believe that GM needs to pay more attention to the power train. The V8 has been the premier engine for many years. However, the AspireCVD engine would provide the same engine power at a lower cost (for the manufacturer and the user), much better fuel efficiency, and much lower weight. This engine features continuously variable displacement, lower engine losses, and other features that help reducing emissions while keeping operational features that customers like.
