HORRIBLE stereo for an oringinally $40K vehicle or bad for any price. Really sux.
Armrest to low.
No one touch power close for sunroof
No one touch up windows except drivers
one climate control nob. Every other LT I have seen has two or a digital one. I have the same blue to red one nob that my base 95 V-6 5 spd Reg cab pick up had.

I have an 02 so....

Turn signals on inside and outside of side mirrors.
Better fog light assemblies.
Heated passenger side mirror.
Better rear window wiper blade.
Tranny temp gauge.
And many of the already metioned.

when you dim the dash lights, they all dim except for the bright ass blue "bright's" indicator light, when you have your brights on at night and it blinds the shit out of you.

The brake and gas pedals are not even close to being even! The fact that you have to move your entire leg to go from gas to brake!!!!!! So annoying, and dangerous!

surprised no one has mentioned this, but why wait so long to put in electric fans! mechanical fan sucks the big one! better built tranny and foglight covers that don't auto eject! my bottle jack will never see the light of day. I'm not even sure where it is in the truck.

Let's see.........

I'm on board for most of what was said already. I wish the seat belts in the front were height adjustable. And I wish the back glass went down versus pop open.

How about a transfer case that isn't made out of magnesium? Also, proper mounting for the oil pump in the transfer case so that it doesn't wear a hole in the case.

NP246 pump rub forced me to replace the transfer case in mine. Fortunately, it was under warranty.

I'm onboard with everything mentioned...

...I opted for the '05 versus the '06 for one stupid reason: the visor extenders were deleted in '06, along with carpet on the bottoms of the doors.

That insanely easy to scratch gray paint on the Denali console and IP bezels cost me about $500 to fix...with new parts!

i have to jump in on this.

1. weak window motors
2. a jack that isnt worth the metal it was made with.
3. dimmer switch unlit.
4. not enough interior lighting (imo)

Better insulated interior. I know they are large but could it have killed them to quiet up the interior a little? Easy fix but time consuming.

auto dim pass mirror
my damn temp gauge is so dark i cant read it EVER
that dumb gray stuff on all the interior parts of the denali, instrument cluster include, had to paint it all
no BLACK INTERIOR
better interior lighting, my map lights dont light up?
all the lights in my switches are dying...
the 02 didn't have double din...
AWD that i cant turn off...
that jack is effing useless
my underhood lamp is dead and shows no sign of coming back
one touch close sunroof
the location of the trans cooler... idk where else they could put it, but if you rear end anyone it gets destroyed and you gotta get a tow.
e-fans not standard
weak second shift
the accelerator jerk when your accelerating slowly
the location of the DIC in my '02
the onstar system that has a mic above me, a speaker above me and tons of other parts that i can't remove, including the damn antennae on the roof.

does it bother anyone else that the license plate holder on the front bumper wasn't factory color-matched? looks like dog shit if you ask me.

the d-pillars not being colormatched... why not use the esky ones? they look much better.

rear windows dont go all the way down, i get why, but its obnoxious.

factory 16" rims on a denali?!!?!? come on now.
