I guess, to each his own... I bought my 21 Yukon Denali after driving my 07 Yukon SLT for 13 years. The Magnetic Ride Control alone was worth what I paid... This vehicle rides better than any other vehicle I've ever owned, cars included... I definitely have turned off most of the nag bells and auto assist features, but there's no way I'd go back to my 07, bumpy ride, solid back end, low tech beast. And I loved that truck. I love this one more... The 10 speed transmission does have some quirks. My issue there is the shift from first to second gear during acceleration, where it seems to die during that shift, unless I step down hard... I also don't like all the sequestering of the exhaust, with the flaps before and after the muffler, but I've already taken care of that. And for those talking about getting a tuner, the 21 and ups are LOCKED DOWN. I've been waiting / hoping for a Pulsar LT for it, but it doesn't look like one is coming. Last but certainly not least, having the 6.2 engine ties you to premium gas, which is because of the Russia situation over $4 / gal.
But, even with all the things I don't like about my 21, THERE'S NO WAY I'D GO BACK. The world moves forward. Time marches on. I am glad I got the 21 and not the 22, so I'm not tied to Google, but I have an android phone anyway, so it doesn't much matter... Yes, I have location services turned off, but I am aware that they still are "on".
I understand where you're coming from, not liking all the tech, but some tech is REALLY GOOD...
