Im in the market for a new ride. Currently have an 05 Tahoe. Ive narrowed it down to two, an 08 Yukon Denali with 99,000 on it - OR a 2013 Tahoe with 120,000 (all road miles, i know the owners). Both are loaded to the gills and right around $20,000. Is there a better / smarter choice between the two? Both were well taken care of and in great shape. Thanks

Denali has more options and is an awd, tahoe is newer, it all depends on what you like

The 6.2L is a FANTASTIC engine, that reason alone would almost be enough for me to choose the Denali. Truthfully, I am biased toward the Denali because I just bought an '07, but I will try to objective in my recommendation.

To me, it would come down to what condition each vehicle is in (mechanically and cosmetically), the exterior/interior colors, and what you're going to use it for.

If you want a luxurious, comfortable, fast SUV that can get you through the snow and do VERY light offroading, I'd go Denali. If you're willing to sacrifice some luxury and speed for better fuel economy and better snow/offroad performance, go with the Tahoe.

...and if you're in SoCal and it's never going to see snow or mountain trails, go Denali because 6.2L.

What trim is the Tahoe? Id probably go with the lower mileage Denali, as long as its been taken care of.

Traded a 07 LTZ for my 07 Denali. I would go Denali and not even think about the Tahoe.

It's all up to you what you like best. It's your money. I'm a Tahoe fan. I love them. I've had a Yukon and a tahoe.

Need more info, as stated whats the trim level of the Tahoe? If its LTZ 4x4 then maybe the Tahoe... is fuel economy an issue? Insurance/tags will be more on a newer vehicle... Condition and color combo would play a big role.

Tough decision here. I'm fan of Hoes and Eskys. As much as it pains me to say this, I'd go with the Yukon.
