Thanks for all the replies. Today I’m wavering even more, lol. Found myself looking at new Denalis yesterday also.....but 80k....jeez. Then thought.....maybe I’ll just keep my truck.....get it road force balanced, new shocks, and a Diablo tuner, and call it good till the market rights itself. Who knows.....?!?
16 Yukon SLT....upgrade to a 19 Esky, or a 21 SLT/Denali?

Agree!!! Love mine.
Lol $120 for a new Esky, like what?????'21 Escalade, easy.
Seriously, I would go with '21. I had a '16 Yukon and while I liked the truck, the '21s have so much new tech, I'd go that way for the same money.

I agree with @RobV. The prices are out of this world right now. Some dealers are charging (and getting) as much as $15K over MSRP. Until the inventory and pricing stabilize, it may be worthwhile to sit on the sidelines rather than overpay for a vehicle that keeps you woefully upside down in your financing.

There ARE a few MSRP dealers out there... You just have to be very diligent...
That’s kinda why I’m leaning towards the 19 Esky......I think I’m gonna go drive one tmrw and see if it’s leaps and bounds different than my Yukon. I think there will be a difference since there’s a different suspension and tranny. We’ll see.

Coming from an early 2015 SLT to a 2021 Denali, the new trucks are leagues better. The increased size seems perfect without being too big, and while I'm sure the magnetic system helps compared to what I had in the SLT, the independent rear is so smooth.
I agree! I had both a 2016 and 2018 Yukon SLT (same generation as your 2015) and really enjoyed them both. But, this 2021 Denali is bigger, more luxurious (yet still utilitarian), smooooooth, and quiet. I love driving this vehicle. Roads that I drive that are full of potholes, uneven asphalt, etc. where I felt every bump in my SLT's are a breeze to drive with my new Denali. So much more enjoyable ride.
