I think this really depends on your use case. We have a 2022 XL SLT and were also on the fence between a new SLE vs CPO SLT. I wanted the front bench seat of the SLE, but there were just too many missing features on the SLE. Things that stuck out to me (not sure of 22 vs 24 SLE standard options so be sure to check) were no memory seats, no power retractable mirrors, and no power rear liftgate. Also, a feature that I did not think was necessary and I am finding to be quite useful is the front facing camera (not available on SLE). With how tall the front end is on these trucks, that front camera makes city parallel parking in "tight" spaces a breeze. Other features to consider would be power folding seats. Having the ability to fold these from the overhead console is quite useful. The other goodies on the SLT like the ventilated seats or wireless charging were, for me at least, nice-to-haves, but definitely not necessary.

The front bench from the SLE can be added to the higher trims if you order some parts - this forum member @yukon-xl did ----> https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/front-bucket-to-bench-swap.144190/post-1842962
TY! This does have cameras and driver package, also wireless charger
Missing vent seats but I don’t mind that at all, for me it’s mirrors, litigate and memory seats also though they are power
I’ve heard that! Although, it’s why I’m looking at cloth! More cushion for sure
The leather on the SLT is nothing to write home about for sure. Just the center of the seat and backrest is leather for the front and 2nd row. The rest of the seat along with the entire 3rd row is a pretty cheap feeling pleather. Very disappointing materials for something with a 75k+ MSRP.
Nice find. Thank you!
It is the foam they have to use. My coworker's girlfriend (been together for 10 years mind you) works for a major interior supplier in Michigan. The reason why new seats are so uncomfortable is the government has mandated they meet biodegradable requirements, therefore the foam they used 10 or 20 years ago is much softer and plush than what they have today.

I’ll second the 07-10 couch type seats prior to GM installing airbags inside the seats.
