The XLT trim has Intellibeam Auto High Beams, see here or your owners manual for how to enable.

Thanks for sharing this. 2 quick taps forward on the turn signal/high beam indicator and it now shows auto high beams on my instrument cluster.

It’s weird though. If I turn on my fog lights, it disables the auto high beams altogether.

Such a weird light set up.

Also, unless I’m blind I also realized tonight there is no way to turn on all the interior lights from the driver seat? But, based on above, I’m probably blind lol.

Press and hold one of the reading lights in the overhead. Within about 2 seconds all of the interior lights will turn on. Press and hold to turn off.

Weak rant, OP. I give it a 2/10. Do you know what Ford stands for backwards?!?

I’ll never be able to compare to Ford. never owned one never will. the looks, the layout, the infotainment, all one big turnoff to me. But …agree on Denali door handle for passenger side. to remove it on high end trim makes no sense.

My SLT Duramax has been flawless but then again, just at 10K miles

You been in the new ones? 2021+ F150 interior/tech/infotainment seems leaps and bounds ahead, and same over the Sierra/Sikverado. Will be curious to see how the 2025 Yukon and Expedition’s stack up seeing as they’re both getting a refresh this year.

I have a 21 Denali. Radio has some dumb things and lots of missing things. My 19 X7, my 20 JGC, and my 14 and 23 Harleys all have settings to save favorite artists and songs. Not possible on my Denali. Fog lights that need to be turned on each trip. HUD is pretty useless to me.
I tested the 22 Expedition with the large tablet. Lots more configuration, but the Denali just drives better. i will keep this for a few years and see what the Escalades look like and maybe go up a level.

Glad I’m not the only one re: fog lights. It’s ridiculous lol. Even on the Denali too?!

GM's have been like as far back as I can remember. I have an idea it's because some states you are not suppose to use them unless weather requires it. I had an employee cited for it a few years ago in Montana out of all places. He was told unless the weather conditions required the lights, they are to remain off.

Heck, there are numb nuts in our areas that drive around with full light bars on, sometimes during the day! I really don't get the point with fog lights.. Turn them on when you need them. Otherwise Leave them off.

I worked for GM for over 30 years in the service department as a technician a foreman and a writer at the end of my career. I had customers that complained about their trucks suv's and cars and they said that they were going to buy a Ford or Ram so I said good luck. Guess what it didn't even take that long some of them just road tested other brands and they were back in a flash. To each their own' these vehicle are very expensive and expectations are high and rightly so. I'm at the point that I'm going to drive my 2011 Tahoe until one of us dies. LOL
