After 1 month - 2 Nitpicks on 2015 Denali

[hosseface]

11/10 overall. Love the appearance in & out and the entire driving experience. VERY comfortable.

2 things that are a nuisance to me:

#1 - The black plastic part on the top of the running boards is made from a terrible material = it is getting scratched all to pieces from shoes getting in and out. (non-power running boards) I only have 800 miles and take better care of my vehicles than 99/100 people. I'm the kind that cleans it everyday and hates driving in the rain. Zero abuse involved.

I really hope GM sees this is an issue and redesigns the material that is used on the top of the running boards (and offers it to early 2015 owners at no charge.) I saw a Tahoe that wasn't even off the dealers lot that the trim was all scratched and scuffed up just from tire kickers and test drivers.

#2 - The cloth fender well liners act like a huge sponge and if you park it in your garage after driving it in the rain, prepare to have a squeegee handy. They can hold probably close to 1 gallon of water each and leave a HUGE mess after sitting/draining all night.

Other than that, the only thing I can really say that bothers me is that the HUD setting needs to be able to be programmed to the driver 1 and 2 function just like the seat, mirror, etc.

I also love my New 15 Denali. its a 11/10 for me as well. I have powered running boards which are amazing and one of my favorite options. Also don't park in garage so both of your gripes are not mine. I do however has some that are def not deal breakers My only gripes are:

Infomat system touchscreen lag/delay - not a big deal
More apps and app store - hopefully soon
text message going in and out as it was advertised - obv
All interior and exterior lights should be matching led bright white, ex like fog, reverse, license plate. - Fixable
bigger side view mirrors to match big truck - guy said to me the one day, "love the truck but it is a big truck, little d***, no? lol"
hdmi inputs - 2014
recycled air should be option with ac on auto!!! dud - living in nyc in traffic using fresh air for ac air is not fresh.....dud
traffic usually takes 5-10 min to update which is annoying for me because by then i have usually already ventured the wrong way (road more traveled) should be more like 30-60 seconds..
my gas milage not as good as i thought but i am usually in traffic so might just be my issue.
front clearnce is less than my old nissan murano and similiar to sedans!!! hello oversized suv should not scrape a drive way when going in or out....
that extra piece at bottom should by an option if you want to save 5 dollars a year on gas or not.. areo dynamics??
Updated - the antenna gets terrible reception needs to be fixed asap. I lose a station if I driver under a little tree???

Amazing Additions wish list

drink warmer/cooler
console fridge
massaging vibration seats
sideview and front cameras

I too agree on the black plastic lower front valence. Ours was scuffed up when I took delivery at 4 miles. They need to redesign that black plastic lower part where it is maybe an inch or so higher.

So if the truck is dropped 2/3........ Scraaapeee

does the throttle lag get any better?

that is my only complaint about the 2015 Tahoe I bought last night. the throttle is very...stiff/laggy

the 355 HP doesn't feel as "peppy" as the 2005 Esky I traded with 345 HP...but then again she is brand new

 

[hosseface]

I've never owned a Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade prior to but IMO this thing has plenty of power. My truck is a Raptor and it is just as fast, if not faster.

I drove a Yukon at the dealership and the throttle had a huge lag before pickup. It also wouldn't roll forward in drive when I took my foot off the brake. I thought it came down to an adjustment of some kind. I confirmed this when I double checked another one on the lot and it didn't have that problem. Quality control?

 

[hosseface]

The roll forward may have been the new feature for hooking up to trailers, etc. That's supposed to happen.

All y'all are bitxhes.

Instead of being happy to have a new truck you all complaining.

There are people in Africa with no push carts starving.

The lower the valance, the better the aero and mileage.
