Hi, new to the site.
We picked up our 2016 Yukon Denali last week. This our third Denali (2005 and 2009), and we are thrilled with it.
I hadn't intended to get rid of the 2009, as it had exceptionally low miles (50K km), and was running perfectly, but the new styling, tons of features, and sheer luxury of the new model was impossible to resist.
In an amazing coincidence, this 2016 was sitting in the showroom of the local dealership, optioned exactly as if I had ordered it. It was a special order, but the original buyer had gotten impatient, and bought something else.
Its Summit White, short wheelbase, with HUD, security, rear bench, no rear DVD, sunroof, adaptive cruise, 22" wheels, all weather mats, cargo cover, rear cargo floor mat, console tray and chrome exhaust tip.
The rear bench was the deal sealer for us, as neither of us like the Captain's chairs in the second row.
We got a fair trade on the 2009 (they sold it within days), did the paperwork, and were out the door. Easy and painless.
Beautiful, beautiful truck. Hopefully it will be as reliable as its two predecessors.
The only minor complaint I have has to do with the rear seat. I wish GM offered the option to delete the third row altogether on these new models, so you would have a flat load floor (instead of one that slopes). I would prefer that, along with a small weight improvement, and perhaps a small credit on the MSRP. We never used the third rows in either of the previous Yukons, and will likely never use the third row in this one, either. But I have to carry it around everyday.
Anyway, I'm delighted with my new Denali, and am enjoying this forum.
