That’s not an answer lol.

You can see red in the front wheel.

Do you have any other pics? How do you like them? Worth it?

I have the regular 2016 Yukon Denali but think that the XL version has a smoother ride. However, I chose the shorter Yukon Denali because it is easier to parallel park. I live in a large city - and it is challenging to park longer vehicles. The extra weight of the XL does create a very smooth ride. The regular Yukon Denali bounces over bumps and passengers in the back seat experience discomfort.

I have the XL...its just sad. under dampened when it should be stiffer, stiff when it should be soft.... Its like they took the software settings for the escalade road and then reversed it...

congrats! When you say suspension, is the ride just improved overall or is there a mechanical difference? I thought they kept with the same MRC tech.

If you listen to Hennessy he will confirm my theory about the new 2018 Gm let me know if you watch the video.

That is what I thought from the beginning it looks like the calibration is done for all car.
Also the leveling compressor I don't even hear anymore.
