Keep the 12. They ride and drive so much better and have a lot less stuff to break.

Interesting ......You are the first person that has said anything like this??? Everyone else, on here and others I know personally, were all glad they upgraded.

Search around, there are plenty of complaints about the ride quality of these trucks. I’m far from the only person to think the GMT-900’s are better trucks.

I'll definitely have to check into the transmission tune. I know the 18 with the 10 speed may be better but after talking to a GM service manager friend of mine, I think it will be fine. I looked at the Eski's and the Denali's and there both great but came down to the right price this time.

We went from an 08 Denali to a 12 Eski and now a 17 Denali........

Congrats on the purchase. The 8 speed will be fine. I believe that have most of the issues resolved now. Good luck and post some pics when you get a chance!

I can live with the 8 speed. Drove a 18 with a ten speed and it was smoother in around town but on the road no difference. maybe a 2021 in a couple of years. 100K for a new suv is beyond any kind of sense. Get all the recall warranty stuff behind you asap and you will love that thing. I do like the ESC you have for sale. If I could I would definitely have as a second.
I'm in Canada tho so too much hassle. Uhhh your garage floor shines? must be nice. Mine is covered with winter road grime!

Ha ha, yes the floor shines now but every few days in the winter here, it gets cleaned in order to stay my favorite color .......”shiny”
