We got a Black Yukon SLT. I wish I had gotten a Denali only for the 6.2 option. Don't care about the other options.
Our next one will be white. I don't have the time like I used to....
I still don't think the price is warranted on these things. They are nice but not 60+k nice. They still have the usual GM assembly issues. Bathtub curve anyone.

If you think you would like the 6.2l, trust me you would like the 8 speed even more. Thing tows like a champ!

That's why I want the 6.2 but they rate the 5.3 with a higher tow capacity.
When I was looking there were allot of acceleration complaints from 6.2 owners. Of course that was before the 8 speed.

I know I am comparing apples to oranges, but my Expedition EL was rated at a higher tow rating with a 5.4l 320hp 6 speed. I believe it was over 9000#.
But it can't hold a candle to the towing in the Denali. It just feels more solid and capable.
The suspension is much better too. No bouncing and tail wagging. Although the Denali does have the rear air suspension and anti-sway features.
But still the Expedition stickered at $58K back in 2009.

Yeah, I am just under the tow rating limit. The 5.3 does really well. Better than I thought.

That pic makes the boat look small. Here's another pic at a different angle behind the old truck.
