Newb from NJ

[slimchachi]

hey everyone, new guy here from NJ. always wanted a yukon denali as a family vehicle. ended up selling my highly modified 2014 Ford Raptor and picked up a new left over 16 XL Denali. So far really enjoying it. will likely stay stock with the exception of tint, dechroming and maybe some 22s / 24s.

Welcome from Miami Danilo..Your 16 Denali XL sounds nice.

Used to live in Teaneck and Lodi New Jersey..Super high taxes drove me out but still visit up there several times a year.

Bergen county is high in everything!

thanks! i'm actually originally from lodi, parents still live there. morris county still has high taxes but bergen is ridiculous. i'll never move back to that county so long as i can avoid it.

here are a couple quick shots...coming form a long travel ford raptor, its a big ride difference. the raptor wasn't being used and i've alway wanted a yukon or tahoe...but with the amount we pack for trips, the xl made more sense. eventually i'll build another raptor, but i'll be keeping the yukon for a long time!

Looks awesome!!

I always liked the Raptor and thought about getting one..But for my runs to New Jersey from Miami [several times a year] it makes more sense for me to have my Tahoe like it makes more sense for you to have your XL Yukon..You definitely did the right thing..Excellent choice!!

I'm at the other end, keansburg, but I'm originally from Newark/Belleville.

thanks! yea, the raptor is great but would make for a hell of a lot of gas being used for those trips. over all, i'm glad i went the XL route. my wifes durango suffices for trips where less stuff is needed.

Right there with you.
I have the best of both worlds. A 2016 Yukon Denali for trips & a 2013 Ford Raptor.

Welcome. Nice choice with that XL.

Nice! That's next for me, pick up another raptor but a supercab this time around!

Yes the SuperCab works great for me. Mine only has 17K miles too. The prices are starting to come down now that the 2017 Raptors are out.

Slimchachi's 2014 SCREW Raptor looked sweet too with lots of mods. Someone got a good one when he traded that one.

yea, they're coming down, hopefully i can grab another. i sold that black supercrew i posted to a young guy in maryland. it's heavily modded and i couldn't justify trading in a long travel truck for pretty much stock price. i was happy what i got privately though and hopefully see some pics of it getting some air. i'm over on FRF as well, same name as here.

i ordered some 22s for the denali, was thinking 24s but figured 22s would be the best bet for now, then maybe make that leap to 24s in the future. not the best roads up here so i'd be banging those big wheels around.
