Awesome SUV

This truck has been up the rocky mountains down some back country trails and in some crazy winter storms and yet it looks and feels brand new. Truck has lots of power considering the it weighs the same as a super duty. Comfort is amazing. Truck is over ten years old and 150K in it and it runs like a beauty. Changed the plugs and wires, normal maintenance and no major issues. Truck has loads of room and even with it packed to the rim it feels empty when loaded. Excellent truck recommend one to anyone.

Denali

Good power, great handling for a vehicle of this size, AWD helps in this regard in all weather. Power adjustable seat with heat quite the pleasure, along with reclining second row seating for longer trips. Gas milage suffers due to large engine, but much better than previous owned 4x4 Durango. Great ride!

Heaven on Wheels

It's heaven on wheels. The Vortec 6000 engine, luxurious leather captain seat, and bucket seats are remarkable. The exterior is so well finished and it is just so fun to drive. Its acceleration is out of this world considering it is a full sized SUV. My opinion, if you dont have get one!

Very Poor Denali

This is for a 2004 Denali with nothing but problems. Dealers cannot find and fix the shaking and the wandering on these vehicles and are denying a problem even exists. It appears the frames or the design of these vehicles are in question and appear to drive very unstable down the road. Not all Denali's have this problem but there are a lot that do. I feels like you are driving down a bumpy road when the road is not. read the forums at http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com I can deal with the paint problems on the console and the Speedometer issues and all the cosmetic stuff, but I cannot deal with the real problems like bad welds in the frames and the wobbling down the road. I will never buy GM

Family vehicle

Comfortable with lots of room for passengers as well as storage. Great for families especially for vacation trips. Our family vacation to the beach allowed plenty of room for luggage and for the children's bikes. The four wheel drive performs very well in snowy conditions. We have a steep driveway and it handles it even when it was covered in ice.

I have always liked my Chevy truck and I wanted the same power and comfort in a family vehicle. My wife and I test drove severel SUV's. None felt near as solid or sturdy as this one. We love everything about this SUV. Hopefully we can get a newer one in a few years. Until then we will just enjoy this one.

Best vehicle I ever owned

I bought this truck primarily for its looks. It has a rare Silvermist finish. It is comfortable and reliable. I'm a big person and it fits me well. Great power when needed. Cruises very well on the highway. Bose system exceeds expectations. I've never had a problem of consequence. Even after 73K miles, I plan to keep this puppy for quite a while yet.

I have driven my 2000 GMC Yukon Denali in rough offroad conditions throughout the northern Rockies. At ~28k miles the transmission failed and was replaced (~$1500), at ~38k miles the fuel system failed and 4 main components were replaced (~$900), at 52k miles the front alignment pin & boots had to be replaced, uneven tire wear forced replacement of 4 new tires within 20k miles (~$500), a cracked plastic front grill was replaced (~$700) and several body parts have fallen off. In summary, this vehicle has been a very expensive lemmon and we can't wait to replace it with a more reliable and better built vehicle (e.g. Toyota 4Runner or Nissan Pathfinder).

There have been a few major problems that need to be replaced or worked on, like the Fire wall bolts were lose, the rear fan had to be replace as well as the front driver side heated seat quick working and had to be replaced. I have worked through a dealership and they have taken care of everything with no hassle. On another note, the ride is great. It is a Cadillac ride without the car appearance. It keeps you warm in the winters and cool in the summers and allows you to see all around you with little effort, which allows for easy driving.

Bought new, drive 20K+ yearly. I have filled both the inside and top with lumber and other heavy items and it didn't miss a beat. No major problems after driven 83,000 miles. Will buy another one when I have to, without hesitation, and recommend it to anyone.

Can't beat an American Truck

I bought this truck with 80k miles on it knowing that the old 350 had a lot more time left. We make trips to Michigan several times a year from the East coast and you can hardly feel the ride in this truck. All passengers are comfortible and have plenty of room to strech out. This truck also stands out in a crowd b/c of it's trim pkg from the factory. However the truck could use larger sway bars to prevent roll and something to prevent pitching when braking.

This car has hauled our family, towed campers, and overall had reasonable maintenance costs. I gave it an 8 for fuel economy, although I only get 12-15 mpg, because I think it performed well in this regard considering its weight and engine power. A Denali really does ride much better than a regular Yukon. To me there is no comparison.

It stops like a dump truck, and the inadequate 255/330 BHP/TQ 5.7 liter engine moves this 3 ton SUV slowly (10+ seconds 0-60) and inefficiently (14 miles per gallon - mostly highway). However, it's a very comfortable vehicle with good ergonomics and comfortable seats.

My 2000 Denali now has 147k on it and I still love it! This is the most comfortable truck I've ever owned, not sure what I'll do when the time comes that it has to be retired. I've only had to do minor repairs to my vehicle, very reliable. I am having an issue with the headlights, does anybody know if there is a way I can put bi-xenon in, and if so where would I get them? Thanks.

I was apprehensive about the size of the truck when I purchased it. The feeling of being so high up was new to me. I looked at Cadillac Escalade the high price tag. Will the real truck maker please stand up.The Denali was the better buy unless your hung up on the wreath and crest. It is like traveling on your favorite couch. So the gas mileage isn't the greatest but its worth every mile of what it cost.

Great ride, but.........Heated seat went out on driver's side about 1.5 years after purchase and to fix, seat has to be pulled apart, a part replaced, and the seat restitched. The process has to be performed at a reupholsterer's shop. Time,time, time. Brakes a problem,too. Master cylinder had to be replaced within 6 months. Brakes need to be replaced or serviced about every other time, "because the vehicle is so heavy." Now, appears to be problem with coolant system. Vehicle is about 3.5 years old.( I'm looking at a Toyota Sequoia.) Also, the "barn door" configuration in the back takes getting used to. It splits and hinders your vision.

This is my second and last GMC. Quality and reliability were very poor. I ran into several FACTORY defects. Do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota.

Best truck I've ever owned. Had Jeep Grand Cherokee prior to buying this one and there is no comparison. Love the way it looks where it stands out in the crowds. Always get compliments on how good the truck looks. Very comfy ride even with full load. Handles very well in the snow and mud and even towing.
