Not much snow here yet. But we had a 2" coating of snow, slush, ice mix over the weekend. Drove in AWD with new Michelin Premier's without any problems. I love the long wheel base in snow and the AWD works pretty flawlessly. But yes, I always allow enough room for stopping.

Had lake effect snow yesterday and this morning, even on the stock tires I was flooring it and having a blast whenever traffic thinned out enough...trying to get the rear end to kick out and then it would catch/correct itself. Great snow vehicle imo....

I haven't decided what shoes to wear yet in the snow, size 16 or 02

Ha! All else constant, I'd take out the '02. Wouldn't you hate it if some moron slid into your brand new Denali and you had nothing to do with it.

I've been using awd a little the last couple weeks and it seems to me that the drive train is way too loud. it reminds of a 4wd system from 20-30yrs ago.

Do you hear much from the drive system when running in awd mode?

You mean 4wd auto? That's different from the AWD models. I though AWD wasn't selectable, but could be wrong.

But yeah these trucks pretty much do use a 4wd system that's been around for 30 years. Mine doesn't make much noise though. Some occasional whine.

Any moisture on the road and I put the truck in AWD. Had a bad spin out years ago in a Honda Passport and the rear wheel drive freaks me out. I don't feel any difference. Have yet to put the truck in 4 wheel drive though

Yes, I meant 4wd auto...may ask dealer to check it out as it seems way too noisy when active.
