as much as I love the escalade round here I would get pulled over every day cause cops would wanna make sure I was not a drug dealer.

I hate when people ask me why didn't I just get an escalade. I hate the way escalades look, plus a denali is everything an escalade is minus some extra fake wood and a random 20 odd horses. For that they want an extra 8k.

Having said that the mileage is about the same as the 5.3 tahoe, despite the bigger engine and awd.

It really boils down to what you're gonna do with it. If you're gonna life it up and go offroad get a tahoe/yukon for the low range alone. Otherwise I'd say spring for the denali.

+1 same reason the only mods my cars get are to increase comfort and utility...no flashy wheels and whatnot.

I cant wait to sell my escalade wheels. they came with the truck and are way to flashy for me. Also they dont flow with the truck.

This is going to be my wife's ride. She has had enough of the mini van, and I got the last pick when I got my truck.

The Yukon or Denali will be used for running around town, trips to Oregon from WA, (about 150 miles one way), grocery store etc. We have three kids, 7,9 and 11, and we would like to have the room. The chances of me tricking this thing out is slim to none, but we both like slight mods, (hey, we are both 40, and there is a Shelby in the garage next to a tricked out Fairlane, so thats where we get crazy).

Two reasons on the GMC, one, due to a family history, I have always said I would never own a Chev, (more of a pride thing in high school with muscle cars in the eighties), so I gotta have a GMC. Besides, as a friend of mine who was part owner of a GMC dealership said, "GMCs are better than Chevs, because we use lock washers!" Most of all, I want a vehicle from an American company.
