If you need lot's of room and still want the luxury without the gaudiness of an Escalade, then this is the right machine to buy. Great ride. Easy to drive. Well crafted and tight. Wish the interior could have some better appointments, a lot of plastic but OK. Overall, a fine vehicle. I just bought this one and couldn't bear the thought of trading in my 99 Denali. Their that good.
Great SUV...If you like large SUVs

I bought my Denali when it had 92,000 on it. It now has about 102,000 on it and I have had it for about 5 months. I haven't had to do anything to it except a fuel pump and have some interior plastic touched up. No complaints here!! The only downside is 13.4 mpg, but what do you expect when you have a SUV of this size. All in all I think it is a great truck and it can do everything i want it to do, I can take me and 6 people around, pull boats and trailers, go on long trips and not even feel like it was very long. Im very happy with my Denali!

I've owned this vehicle for about 5 yrs, putting all 96000 miles on it. Only repair items have been to reprogram the transmission (in warranty) and to replace a burned out seat motor. I tow a 7000 lb trailer with it about 10 times a year. When Katrina hit, my wife and I evacuated in only this vehicle with two grown boys, 3 cats, a dog, cat litter boxes, dog pillow, suitcases, computers, game boxes - everything they held dear and drove for 8 hrs on a single tank of gas. Yes, it gets 13mpg, but if you are shopping for a reliable SUV - you won't find any better. I haven't even had to change the brakes!
A manly vehicle.

Just loved all the space. One of only a few vehicles in which you can haul 4 X 8 sheets of drywall laying flat in the rear. Going on a vacation? Take along anything you might wear.

'05 Denali

The Denali XL has a very smooth ride. It has a great turning radius. Handles well in the snow. The engine is very quiet. Would like more gas mileage. The brakes are lasting a lot longer than my Toyota Sequioa brakes. Plenty of room for car pooling. Would recommend a change in where the CD player is (my purse is always changing the CDs) and a larger console compartment. Which should include a slot for pennies, not just other change. The covers for the cup holders are touch - very frustrating because everytime you touch them or set anything on them, they open. There are a couple of cubbies that have not use. Also, I'm disappoited that the finish on the console rubs off so easily
