I have a question, and I honestly don't mean it offensively. I am genuinely curious. What do you guys do for a living that you can afford these new Denalis? Those prices are literally almost what I paid for my house 20 years ago.

Sales, finamce. With rates at 2-3% level and 72-84 months financing its a lot lower payment now than say... 4 to 8 years ago. Living outside Detroit and getting a family discount at all 3 of the Big 3 opens up a few options.

Hi guys,

What makes you decide about your engine?

My concern about the 6.2 is the lifters and with the diesel is the belt and overheating issues(seen on videos)

Not sure about the diesel, but I believe the 6.2 is rock solid. A bit concerned with the AFM on my wife’s 2015 and will be figuring out shortly how to disable that to preserve the lifters. My ‘07 has 160k on it without any problems (except I believe valley cover gasket may be leaking). Very happy with both.

I was going back and forth, and back and forth... and, well you get the idea, on waiting GMC out to where they allow a second row bench to be ordered without a sunroof. I finally caved and put in an order yesterday with the damn sunroof. The timing is such that I need to have this vehicle delivered before my current vehicle needs new tabs.

Optioned as follows:

Yukon Denali standard wheelbase
6.2L
Summit White
Black/Black interior
Second Row Bench
Premium Package
Max Trailering Package
Premium Capability Package with Active Response 4WD
Standard 22" rims

I drove a number of configurations of both the Denali and the AT4 (also an SLT before the AT4 was out to get a feel for the 5.3 vs. 6.2). The Denali won hands-down with power, interior fit and finish and ride quality.

Regarding the Adaptive air ride suspension, I test drove one with and one without back to back. A few findings:

When I first drove the Denali without adaptive air suspension I was concerned that it rode every bit as I figured a large SUV would: a bit soft, prone to diving in the curves and overall unrefined compared to my experience driving German SUV’s over the past decade. I just figured that’s what I had to come to grips with in order to have the size and space of the Yukon. Then I drove the adaptive air ride-equipped model and it was literally night and day to me. It rode so much more composed and had a brawny athletic feel to it while braking and taking turns. It literally rode like a big, heavy, solid German SUV and I was blown away by the ride quality.

Regarding ride "feel," I would not say the ride is “softer” with the adaptive air suspension- rather more planted, responsive and athletic. Bumps and jarring pavement imperfections, as well as aggressive steering inputs and abrupt braking didn’t cause it to be unsettled in the least.

And now I sit here daily, building the vehicle over and over again on the configurator like some sort of mad car scientist, and reading this forum. Well at least I have that!

Were you able to negotiate any with the order?

I’ve got access to employee pricing so unless there are any other national incentives, I’ll qualify for that only (not complaining as it’s almost 10% off).

 

[Jason in DLH]

I’ll take 10% off! Wait...never mind...still stuck with the rusty ‘07.

What are the lead times y'all are seeing right now?

So you got the ultimate package then, not premium? Ultimate is the air ride.

Air ride and max tow are on constraint now, and I’ve only test driven the 5.3, 3.0, and 6.2 (w/out air ride), I was unable to find an air ride vehicle to test drive. But the magnetic ride control was so smooth, I loved it! I’m sure paired with the air suspension that adds additional cushion to bumps in the road is very nice as well.

I ordered:

Summit white
2WD
Premium Denali
Power slide console

It’s been sitting in preliminary for 5 weeks now.

have you received your order? I know someone ordered in Oct. , Jan. & March, and theirs has yet to get picked up as well.
