Traded 15 Tahoe LS for 16 Yukon SLE with goodies. Pics

[BobDobalina]

My 15 Tahoe was great. Had about 25k miles. Took the 50 mile drive to Laura GMC and got a great deal. 16 SLE with 20s Denali Grille and perforated leather. Love it!!!! Some pics...

Congrats! Can't imagine you didn't take a total bath on trading in the '15 though. Ouch!

Bought 15 as demo over 1.5 yrs ago for 41. Got 36 on trade. Yukon has Max Trailering Pkg, 2 speed transfer case, heated leather, power liftgate, homelink, 20s, denali grille, auto dim mirror etc for 50. I came out good on it.

Congrats, is the heated leather factory or did Laura install it? I didn't know SLE's has heated leather.

I drove my 15 Denali for exactly 2 years and a few days and traded in for only a 6k loss to Laura as well.

Laura adds the Denali grilles, 20s and heated seats. They use the Dorman kits.

Wow, didn't know that! Are the heated seat buttons in the factory locations?

The seats are katzkin leather. Extremely nice stuff. Had katzkin on my ls Tahoe but not perforated. I took some more pics to show the seats and heater buttons. Not as nice as factory buttons but practical and right at your fingertips where your arm lays.

I got the Katzkin on our '16 SLE as well....we love it. I don't need the heated here in South Florida...but I'm sure you'll appreciate the add come winter !! LOL

I had the dealer remove the Katzkin tags from all my seats...now when anyone looks at them they don't know they're aftermarket.

FYI...down here guys are buying the Denali, swapping the grilles for SLE/SLT style and removing the Denali door badges. Why ?...down low and off the radar...fewer break-ins. Escalades and Denali models are more of a target at the Malls and Grocery stores for theft and auto burglary. Plus...it let's the unsuspecting drivers at the stop light think your running a 5.3 vs. the 6.2 LOL !!

That Max tow for $450 is a STEAL...as your's breaks in you will feel a big difference in the 3.42 vs the 3.08...Air Ride Auto Leveling is a bonus also. I wish we had TOW mirrors though...the back half of my 26' Formula is not visible when I'm towing it...considering swapping on '16 Escalade Mirrors...they are an exact match.

You made a great deal. I paid $49,500 for the same truck with 2 WD in December...I did get a $700 Costco Gift Card by using their Auto Buyers Club which was nice.

Good looking truck...enjoy!!!

I think Max Tow in mine was like $780 but included 2 speed transfer case. Also the convenience pkg with power liftgate, dimming mirror, homelink was like $700. I have already noticed a difference in the gearing. Seems you barely touch throttle and it jumps. I removed the SLE badges already. Mine was built May of 16 so just a month ago and that adhesive was still a bish to get off!
