The 6.2 has its obvious advantages.
I took one for a ride the other day to compare it to my premier. The extra dampening from the air ride is very nice and the 6.2 has great pick up.

I don’t know if it’s 7k better than a similar premier.

I must admit that the 74$ fill up price tag kinda surprised me. The salesman is a friend and he gave me a semi sold unit to fill up. The difference between reg and premium Mobil is 90 cents a gallon

anybody have a premier but really want a high country

Get the diesel. Problem solved. Great MPGs and diesel is cheaper than premium in most cases. Plus in the High Country I think you get a break in price for the diesel.

I have a premier on its way, was $4,000 cheaper than a HC I was looking at and the only difference was engine. I prefer the 5.3

This here is the ticket.14-16 MPG + paying for premium is a Downer. Diesel is a dime more than RUL in our area and .60 cents less than premium. And you can go 40% further on it... Its the long term wise choice for this big vehicle. Picking mine up today after a week of prep at the dealer....

I can build a Premier with just the options I want for a lot less money than High Country and it doesn't say High Country everywhere they can stick High Country. High Country here High Country there High Country everywhere. High Country doesn't mean anything to me if fact it would mean more if it didn't say High Country.

I can agree with the name plating. I hate the HC plating everywhere. Especially those large ugly name plates on the front fenders. I prefer the look of the premier as well.

I don’t have any experience with diesels
I don’t tow anything, so the torque isn’t the issue. The horsepower is what I like in the 6.2.

How about 2021 Yukon Denali with the premium package - 6.2, power boards, 22's (better looking than HC), Pano, Intergraded infotainment system?

You will get a 100 opinions lol. For me the 6.2 is a must have so that makes it an easy choice. I also have had no issue running 87 in my 6.2 Silverado and only running premium when I pull my boat long distance.

The premier and HC are identical expect for grill and chrome/body color mirror caps, that’s it. And the grill on both I think are very cool. So for me it comes down to whether you want the 6.2 or not, and me personally I don’t.

Air suspension and the side steps are also options not available on the premier

Like the roof but dislike the risks and extra care that it requires. The media system now is iffy to. An iPad with WiFi or internet service seems the way to go these days

I’m sure the rse has its pluses and is useful. I don’t need my rear passengers sending me navigation instructions. Kids playing games will be better served by an iPad.

that’s great to know. I asked my salesman. He thought you could not
Mine has them from the factory I’ll post pic, I’m not sure if they can be added after. I believe you can it just costs more, there was a thread on here guys discussed it.

Was that part of a package or a single item option?

I like the look. It looks cleaner. I’ve always has the fixed running board.

We went with the HC for a few reasons, if you're getting the Duramax it's a $1,500 increase over the Premier but a $1,500 decrease on the HC, so that brings them $3k closer in price when comparing HC to Premier. Option of Air Suspension and the HC exclusive Mocha leather interior swayed us towards the HC.

Build & Price a Premier on Chevrolet website with 3.0L Duramax, Premier package and rear seat media MSRP is $77.5k. My HC with same options and includes Air Suspension and Power running boards was about $4k more, I feel like $4k for those two options is worth it but that's just my opinion.
