For all of you dealership gurus out there, please help me out. I'm in the market for a new or slightly used GMC Yukon XL. Needs to be 4x4 and have the 6.2L. That mostly limits me to the Denali, although the 6.2L is optional on the AT4.

My questions:

1. Is there a website where most dealers post their inventory and keep it current? e.g. cars.com, autotrader, etc.? It's a real pain to try to look at individual dealer websites.

2. Is there a way to search by engine? I do not see that option on Cars.com or autotrader, but man that would make things easy.

There may not be an easy way to do this, but I'm hoping someone out there knows something I don't.

Oh, and looking to buy this weekend if I can find what I'm looking for.

Would also consider a Chevrolet Suburban but it seems like almost all of them have the 5.3L, and with no way to search by engine size it has been way too much of a pain in the ass to click through hundreds of Suburbans when 95% have the 5.3L.

Not sure how to do that, but call Cody Hill at Wiesner GMC in Huntsville. If you want to check with a dealer for their lot instead.

I have shared your frustration. You could call classic chevy in Sugarland and they probably won't have what you want, but will call and email you daily until you explain to them very clearly that you are not interested in a 5.3 truck (and in my case, not black or white, either). Can't blame them, it's their job. Sorry i know that's not helpful
May expand your search to include escalade esv as well?

When cars.com is working, there are advanced search options that allow you to pick certain things like trims, colors, 4x4, and there is a word search blank you can type 6.2 in. It seems spotty, but when it works it does a pretty good job.

What area are you in that would be beneficial but like others said you can filter it on cars.com as I'm currently in market for Yukon AT4 as well

Donalson Motors GM in Silsbee, Tx.

I've tried searching 6.2 and 6.2L and haven't had any luck. I don't know what the search picks up but it's not the engine size.

I'm between Houston and San Antonio but searching statewide.

I would see how the 6.2 is described on one of the adds you come across and replicate that as the search term. You can also use the GMC Build&Price and have it search for similar vehicles, it may even have a way to filter the results by the 6.2L.

So I was wrong above. I had tried searching for 6.2L on auto trader and it didn't work. Just tried on cars.com and it did. I got a few results that I'll follow up on.

I also searched on GMC and Chevrolet's websites. You can search new dealer inventory and can even search directly by engine size which is nice. But their results differed widely from new car searches on cars.com and dealer websites, so I didn't put much faith in the accuracy.

On the CarGurus app & website, there is an actual checkbox to specify the 6.2L for both Suburban & Yukon XL.

I haven't used it since I was looking to buy a 4Runner in 2015, but I found it to be pretty accurate at the time (I was looking for one that specifically had a tan interior).

Good luck!

If you're looking for a new one, use the inventory search on the gmc website. You can select the engine. I've been looking for nonXL with a diesel. Inventory for everything is minimal. Good luck.

You can also build the vehicle you want on GMC's website and then at the end view local inventory. It will provide the vehicles closest to your match and then you can start calling dealers.

I called over 30 dealers to find my AT4 but I bought it within 4 days of searching at MSRP.

There are also groups on facebook specifically for the AT4 that several dealers post new vehicles they've received and are not already sold.

cargurus for used. you can check engine size as drewser said. has worked very well on fords, sure its the same for GMC.

Brazelton usually has several slightly used ones on inventory but they go fast. He also just got another white one (Not sure if XL) and it has the diesel Duramax engine (which I didn't know even was an option on them).

Ask for Bill.

Used 54 miles, i.e. they sold it to themselves at msrp/invoice or whatever and are flipping the "used" car at a gougey price to try not to get in trouble with gm

Yep. I like the exterior of the AT4 but prefer not to have black interior so a SLT or Denali works. But from what I've heard you may never get the diesel even if you try to order it.

I found a diesel non xl via the gmc website after 3-4 days of searching. Probably called close to 40 dealerships. Most were either already spoken for or they wanted $4k-$20k over sticker. Had one say $15k over sticker, plus required a trade in and financing.

The one I ended up finding was on a train and arrives at the dealership next week. I hop on a plane the week after Christmas to pick it up.
