Here’s When Refreshed 2024 GMC Yukon Production Will Start

For the upcoming 2024 model, the popular GMC Yukon is set for a mid-cycle refresh that will introduce changes to both the interior and the exterior. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2024 GMC Yukon is expected to kick off.
GM Authority has exclusively learned from sources close to the matter that the start of regular production (SORP) of the refreshed 2024 GMC Yukon is currently scheduled for November 2023.
In case you missed it, the revised 2024 Yukon will benefit from a bevy of styling and technology updates. Beginning with the exterior, GM Authority photographers have captured pictures of a heavily camouflaged 2024 Yukon, indicating revisions to the front and rear fascias.
On the technology side, we have also recorded photos of another Yukon equipped with a range of sensors and other goodies testing around GM’s Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan, indicating that the refreshed SUV may introduce new autonomous driving features, possibly the GM Ultra Cruise system.
It’s worth noting that a refresh for the current fifth-generation GMC Yukon would mark a significant departure in strategy from the previous GM K2 platform vehicles. Prior-generation vehicles didn’t receive a refresh during their lifecycle, which lasted from model year 2015 to 2020.
As a reminder, the current 2023 GMC Yukon, as well as the current Yukon XL, is offered with three engine options. These include the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and finally the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower at and 460 pound-feet of torque. All three engines are mated to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, both the 2023 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL ride on the GM T1 platform, which underpins all GM full-size SUVs. Meanwhile, production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

so what are the Updates?????
That was very informative!
What are they even saying? The LM2 already has been replaced by LZ0 3.0L 305 HP.
Is this supposed to be news? Seems like an old article. Please correct me If I’m wrong.
I want an At4 Yukon with the Diesel engine.
I’ve been moaning about this since the AT4 came out. The AT4 with the LZ0 would be a great rig for my purposes. Hopefully the engineers get it done.
