Great vehicle! We went camping in the mountains and the 4x4 worked great. All the camping gear for six people and the dog fit in the back. All three rows were used for passengers/dog. Gas mileage on the freeway is 17.5mpg and 16mpg in the city. All around perfect family vehicle for larger families.

This vehicle rides amazing well for it's size. Gets better gas mileage than some of the smaller competing models. More cargo space than you can use and wonderful ride. Did I mention how smooth the ride is? The Denali is an awesome vehcile.

This is a great SUV. I bought it brand new, and have never regretted it. It holds the road. I can drive country roads at 60, but Iknow the roads. The fuel mileage is going to be 14 city, and 20, highway. Just had a little over $5,000, worth of work on it. Normal maintenance on it. All hoses front and back replaced. Calipers, brakes on the front , drums turned, CRV joints replaced with some other work under it. I have never had any problems with this. It sounds like a desiel, but all big GM's usually sound like this. Power drivers, and passenger seats, heated front, aand 2nd row captains seats. We have gone everywhere to California, Arizona, Wyoming, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida/ It has been wonderful, but at our age 74, and 72 out daughter thinks we should get a smaller SUV,, and we did.

GMC Denali XL

If you have never actually spent any time in one of these vehicles, you owe it to yourself to drive one. This is a "Drivers SUV." We use this one in our business and that means there have been several long trips logged this past year, and that is really where the Denali shines. Long trips just don't "wear you out" like they would in a lesser vehicle. It's handling is awesome (for a vehicle of it's size), and it's power is strong - the thing will RUN! We love the styling and we feel very safe in it on the road. The kids love the DVD but we all love the comfort it provides. I fully intend to buy another one!
