Mine is flex fuel and did not come with any badges to indicate so.

I think they started to play w/ that in some options. Mine has a flexfuel pump, but is not labeled as flexfuel. I dunno, as that is what my mechanic told me.

Its up to you but i think the bells and whistles of the denali will get ya hooked. I wish i would have spent the few extra bucks and got it and the 6.2 vs. my 5.3 tahoe.

Best of luck and post up pics of what you get!

Well I'm test driving all three tomorrow and going to save the Denali for my last test drive. I've been trying to research as much as possible and one drawback with the straight Yukon is excessive oil consumption but that doesn't apply to the 6.2L on the Denali, does it?

Fwiw, we decided on the Tahoe because we were able to buy brand new with a major discount including the rebates. The wife still got the backup camera she wanted in the rear view mirror (we didnt need the screens Bc we use our phones for nav and figured we had iPads for kids entertainment) power everything including lift gate, sunroof, tow package, Bluetooth,--all for a few thousand more that what similarly equipped full loadeds with 60k+ on them were going for. Also we didnt need major towing capabilities and I liked having shift on the fly 4x4 and option to run 2wd, though as members have said, it's not a major fuel economy difference. At times I do wish we had some of the 6.2 guts and I think I'd actually use the nav if I had it. Don't know if it just me, but although the leather in the GMC's is better quality, the bolstering in the Tahoe leather seats felt more comfortable to me.

Welcome Joe. Honestly go with the Denali. You won't regret it! The 6.2L and nuance leather alone make it worth while :imo:. I used to have a 5.3L white Tahoe LTZ and it was awesome but once I traded it in for my escalade and got a 6.2L and sat in the nuance leather seats, my mind was made up on which one I liked more. The one upper hand the Tahoe's have is the front end... it by far has the best front end but the interior upgrades and engine of the Denali outweigh that! Anyways keep us posted on what you get, and post LOTS of pictures when you do get it. GL on the search!

Test drove the 07' Denali today, definitely going with the Denali! The specific vehicle is in great shape with the exception of some of the chrome trim having "chemical" spots from the solution they use on the roads in Colorado. They are asking $29,995, $1500 below NADA, and said they won't budge much on price. This is actually a brokerage company that keeps their vehicles in spectacular shape. The exterior is Silver metallic and interior is light tan, although I really want black leather interior, they are hard to find. Should I wait to find the black leather interior version (silver exterior)? I may have to ship from across the country. Anyone regret black leather interior?
