If you like chrome or feel the urge to do a lot of custom paint and or body work go with the yukon!
If you aren't a big chrome fan and/or don't want to do to many modifications go with a denali!
Either way your gonna enjoy yourself and have a great vehicle!
I love mine and I've had it since '04!

Denali Only!

Please don't compare GM to ford...not even close.

Denali 6.0 to 2006 or 6.2L 2007+, great torque.
AWD- very stable platform
Dependable
No Self leveling problems.
My 2004 is ready to trip 100K, has the Original Pads & Rotors.
The only issue is a fuel gauge that acts up occasionally near empty.
Interior looks very good.
My first 2000 Yukon XL was sold to a friend who just sold it with 195K on it and had some wear on the drivers seat.
Put Mobil 1 in it and enjoy.

Enjoy

My wife and I love my "02 Yukon XL Denali, great power, lots of room, AWD, I love the air suspension, great winter time rig that handles great in snow even without chaining up or studded tires, and all the bells and whistles you could want!!
The only negatives for me about this truck is the AWD not selectable 4 wheel drive and the lack of ground clearance, but then again I didn't buy this truck for off roading so I can't complain or else I would have bought a truck!! This is really for my wife to drive anyways (took her a bit to get use to such a big rig but now she loves it!) and to do the occasional towing of our boat and 23' toyhauler and whatever else we need, which is does great with all of those things!! Heck, it even loves rallying up sand dunes as well!!:)

Get the Denali, your wife and kids would love it!!

Man, how can you compare a ******' Ford Expedition to a Denali?

*caresses his Denali* It's okay, he didn't mean it. He just doesn't know any better.

Anyway, I guess it all depends on how much you want to spend and what you REALLY want. I just bought a 2003 Denali and I am sooooo satisfied it's insane. Just how much luxury you want? Denali is leather everything, heated seats, bose sound system, the list goes on and on. The mileage difference between the 5.3 and the 6.0 is very marginal, and I honestly would not consider it as a deciding factor. If you plan on using all 3 rows of seats, then get the XL, because the 3rd row seat in the GMT800 platform SUV are not the most comfy; there is very little headroom.

Yeah I just picked up a 2006 Denali XL. I absolutely love it. Scored a really bitchin deal with only 75k miles. I did a ton of research when I decided on what I wanted. Test drove several of the different GM SUVs and have detailed many for clients. I settled for a Denali. It's so much more comfortable. The 6.0l V8 has so much more power than the 5.3L V8 in any of the other SUVs. Very comfortable. The body looks a lot nicer. My drivers seat lower cushion is oddly worn after only 75k miles. But I ordered a new seat cushion on eBay for super cheap. Go for a Denali! It's a sick ride!
