    I loved that grill when I got my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali. I used to drive Hondas and Acuras. I’m now a GMC gal. I’ve wanted a Denali since 2016, I test drove one but couldn’t justify the price. 40th gift to myself is a Denali Ultimate. 🖤

    One thing that I always look at when looking for a new vehicle is what the spare wheel is, for me if it's not a full size wheel/tire it's unlikely I'm going to buy it. I feel it's something worth looking at since most temporary tires don't have the same load rating as the normal tires, and it's not recommended to carry/tow heavy weight with compromised run-flats or tires with puncture sealant.
    Another thing that I like to see is sunshades for the rear side windows, privacy glass alone doesn't protect the rear occupants from the sun. I recently purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander and specifically ordered it with both a full size spare wheel, it's a 2 row model, and the built in sunshades in the rear doors. It's also fitted with electric trailer brake controller, Redarc Tow-Pro, with the control knob in a similar position to that on the Yukon. One thing the Outlander has that I wish other cars had are the small pockets across the top of the front seats, ideal for putting phones and similar while still having proper seat back pockets lower down like normal.

    They are one of the best looking full size SUVs. We had a 2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali with the 6.0 liter engine. It was a great SUV while we owned it. I would opt for the 3.0 Duramax rather than the 6.2 gas. Can't beat a full size SUV that gets 30mpg on the highway and 25mpg in the city. Enjoy the ride for the next week.

Your provided a great review, they are really nice. I prefer the GMC over the Chevrolet. The GMC really stands out.

    Just a beautiful vehicle that commands attention. Just one thing. With 7 passengers, luggage, and a full tank will put you very close to the 1400 pounds. So your towing tongue or ball weight will drop. Add the weight of the 4x4 that also drops towing capacity. Always look up your exact vehicle configuration and your "wet weight " to know if you have room to breathe or if you're over. Tons of apps will help with this.
    Still a wonderful suv with lots of power, design,and comfort.

    Great review! Packed with pertinent info and towing details, but If you are serious about pulling a travel trailer and this is your budget, wait a few years and get the Denali ultimate 2500 HD with super cruise. The Yukon xl payload of 1450#s is not enough once you put 1000#+ tongue weight. …Coming from a Yukon xl owner with a 25’ travel trailer and a family of 5. Keep up the great content!

      If you really want one of these now you cannot be too choosy. We shopped across 5 states for ours. GMC w the top of the line Denali pkg and Duramax diesel are stickering around 85k. At the current time you should not expect too much of a discount at all. A few dealers (thankfully not many) are charging (and getting) more than MSRP. You will be lucky if the dealer with one in stock discounts it any more than 3-4%. Most dealerships have none on their lots and the ordering backlog is “several months”. Some dealerships may offer a great deal on an order but you should not do it. Dealers have been losing their allocations so they cannot deliver the ordered vehicle on time - but they have your money. Find a good dealer with one in stock and pay close to MSRP for it - or just wait a few years for things to (hopefully) improve

      A 2500 is probably not going to happen unless the body and interior are totally redesigned at the rear to accommodate the solid axle that would be required. The load floor would have to be raised and rear seat would be significantly more uncomfortable for larger passengers. Plus they would have to be built on a different assembly line than the 1500. The demand for a 2500 likely wouldn’t justify the cost to do all that.

    It looks like they did a great job Overall,,While I like the look of the grill the GMC letters are too far up on the grille , and the bumper is too far down , It looks like it offers little to no protection from a simple deer hit will take out your entire front end and radiator .My only other issue is the shifter ,I’m sorry it looks like it’s right out of of a school bus.The Push pull push thing is ridiculous,I don’t understand why we have to reinvent the wheel a simple shifter on the column or the console has worked forever, Even though I don’t like the ram rotary dial shifter it is worlds better than this thing And it’s lower on the dashboard you can use it with your armrested or on the console.The interior overall is a huge improvement over what they have been trying to sell the last version of it was so far behind on Lincoln navigator it was laughable this revision is a lot better I really like it a lot.

    I have a 2016 Tahoe LTZ that I need to trade for business tax reasons, wanted to go back to another Escalade or try a Denali. But until GM gets the valve issue straightened out, I am not buying one. Too many stories about GM trucks and SUV's with the 5.3 and 6.2 engines having problems and having to rebuild/replace the heads, many in less than 2,000 miles. Yes, warranty covers it but who wants a new $80k - $100k SUV with partially rebuilt engine? In the class-action lawsuit against GM, it appears that GM has know about the valve problem for some time and neglected to address the issue, which makes me question buying another GM at all.
