Denali vs Yukon

[seagravedriver]

As I move closer to stepping into my first GMC/Chev, the Denalis caught my eye. As they seem to have a fair amount more "stuff" than other models, does that tend to bring in more problems? A friend of mine has had several Expeditions, and I learned you stay away from ANY air suspension with them. Leather seats in the lower end Fords tend to look like crap fairly soon, the list goes on.

So, anything to look for, and ANY help appreciated. I am going to get a lot of hassling when there is a GMC in the driveway, but the Chev/GMC SUVs just seem to have it together. Thanks

I wished I would have bought the Denali, IMHO, do the Denali now....

The Denali is a better choice to go with. They are pretty strong cars but the OEM leather is not strong, tends to crack, sag and look nasty after some time if not properly takes care of.
If you plan on altering the suspension in any way you may run in to some issue with the Autoride/AWD, but its not ever too big of an issue.

Buy the Denali. Mine has 104K miles and everything still works fine. The leather still looks new too. I have a couple bulbs blown in the dash, but I'd say thats normal for any vehicle.

i have 130k on mine. bulbs are all fine. never had a problem besides the wheel bearing. which is typical lol considering it has 130k on it. driver side leather is showing signs. just because im a lazy ass and i slide across the side of it every time. id go with the denali. idk what id do without mine.

Hey, where did you get your license plate LEDs and how did you replace them? thanks

 

[seagravedriver]

Suspension will stay stock. I just DO NOT want a white Expedition, and life will be fine. (It would look like a work staff vehicle.)

I am guessing cloth is not an option in these?

Got them off ebay...just do a search for "194 white led". I think mine have 7 led's in them. Here's an Item number: 220426482318

They are super easy to install. Just reach up behind the bumper and twist them out just like a corner marker bulb.

Denali AWD
Yukon 2WD or 4x4

Denali More Luxurious
Yukon Better looking Tahoe

Denali differences in the exterior trim
Denali Bigger engine

I should have got a Nali.

Damn, you guys are killing me, I need to decide between an Suburban Z71 2wd or a yukon XL...

Not sure what to do!!!

 

[black on black 07 yukon]

Go with the YUKON!!

 

[tast101]

Same thing really, just a matter of which grille and headlights you like better.

Everybody knows that chevy is the cheap version of gmc, and gmc is the cheaper version of the escalade. Thats hows the chain goes.

Yea, I was trying to be nice, to my fellow tahoe owners.

Either Drive a Decipti-Kon or a HOE.

only thing that blows is the full time AWD.. worse gas mileage. but not a wholleee lot. still, denali is better
