The 2022 GMC Yukon follows a complete overhaul for the nameplate introduced with the 2021 model year, with the 2022 model year ushering in only a small handful of updates and changes. Now, unfortunately, GM Authority has learned that the 2022 GMC Yukon is no longer available to order the with power-sliding center console feature.
The full name of the feature in question is power-sliding center floor console with drawer, secure storage, manual sliding armrest and cup holders for second row, and is tagged with RPO code DCH.
It’s currently unclear if the feature’s unavailability for the 2022 GMC Yukon is the result of the ongoing global microchip shortage, or if it’s simply a supplier constraint issue. The feature is also currently unavailable to order with the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban.
The power-sliding center console feature was previously offered as a $350 option for 2022 GMC Yukon SLT and AT4 trim levels, requiring the SLT Luxury Package (RPO code WPL, $2,030) and power-release second row bucket seats (RPO code ATN, $370) for SLT trims, and the power-release second row bucket seats (RPO code ATN, $370) for AT4 trims.
The power-sliding center console feature was also standard on Denali trim levels, but is replaced by the conventional floor console with storage area and removable storage tray (RPO code D07) when equipped with the second-row power 60/40 split-folding bench seats (RPO code ATT) rather than the standard second-row bucket seats (RPO code ATN).
For the moment, units of the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali will get the conventional floor console with storage area and removable storage tray, which means Denali customers will receive $350 credit.
As a reminder, the 2022 GMC Yukon is offered with a trio of engine options, including the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. Under the skin, the GMC Yukon rides on the GM T1 platform, while production taking place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

The way GM is going no one will want to order a new car because some of the most important options are unavailable. I wanted to purchase or order a new blazer and you can’t get a heated steering wheel or heated seats with no clear availability in sight. And to rub salt in the wound they give you a whopping $25.00 credit for the heated steering wheel and a $50.00 credit for 4 heated/ventilated seats that are not there. I’m guessing the heated steering wheel alone without all the support circuits and switch would cost at least $500.00 by itself. Same thing goes for a 2500HD pickup not available with max trailering. Really? Why would I pay north of $80,000.00 for a truck to haul my trailer without the trailering option??? Get your act together GM and stop hiding behind the Covid excuse. Find some vendors that want to work! Oh and while I’m at it I wanted to commend you on the great lifters you’re buying from Delphi. I just replaced all of them and all the pushrods including the bent one on my wife’s 2021 Tahoe with 6200 miles on it. Maybe you should give up on the cylinder cancelling technology that obviously doesn’t work well and get back to building normal reliable engines without all the AFM and DFM stuff that is causing so many problems. I don’t think anyone buying a truck will mind 1 or 2 less miles per gallon at the expense of fuel mileage. The stop/start is another annoying thing that is hard on the engine and starter. Wake up. I have owned GM vehicles all my life but I am really start to question if I want another one. Hire some car minded engineers, not gamers!!!!!
Also, I don’t care how much the credits for missing features are…it is meaningless when GM decided to raise the prices of their models to begin with. You are paying more for the car this year than you were last year, even with the credits. I see other manufacturers are keeping heated seats and steering wheels in their cars while they eliminate other lesser-know features that aren’t as popular. Would I pay $40K for a Blazer or Traverse that didn’t have heated seats when I live in a cold northern climate…ummm, no.
The credits are not to compensate for the features not being there, they will be installed at no charge. better than the vehicles sitting in a parking lot for months
Guess i got lucky with 2022 Denali XL order. Got everything except the black out option which wasn’t available until after i ordered.
When did you place your order for your XL?
I’ve had a Yukon XL on order since the first week of September. Even with no current constraints on my options, they refuse to accept the order because they can make more building Escalades. Coming up on 5 months. It’s beyond BS. They say you can order a vehicle, but they have no intentions of building it.
