This truck rides great. About the only negative is that it is big and the fuel economy is poor, but if you want power to tow with a ride second none, this is your vehicle. I have taken this on some long trips over 2,000 miles and still enjoy getting behind the wheel of this one.

awesome vehicle, although they took out some nice features from my 2000 denali, the suit hangers are a joke, unless you want to smash your suit in the door. xm radio & gps is fantastic. quiet, better ride and control than its predecessors. overall a joy to own.

Our kids are grown,and I am usually the only one in the car,but it is the best thing I did for myself. You can get in and out of the tightest mall spaces,turn on a dime;while sitting heads and shoulders above everybody else. I love that I could go to Homegoods and decide to take advantage of that beautiful 3'x6' double glass curio case, and fit it in without having to leave the extra seats home,to fit it in.Not to mention,to load and unload the cargo area is the lightest,easiest thing ever.The Denali is the most omfortable"Big Boy". I will get one again.Love GM products,and this baby is exactly like The Caddie Escalade..

We bought this new GMC Denali on January 22, 2004. We have to homes to travel to being 400 miles apart from each other. When driving on the highway I believe the Denali's ride is 2nd to none as far as smoothness and comfort go. The more we drive it the more we love it.Three times back and forth from Mass. to Northern Maine in style, and it just keeps getting better.

Wow this car is comfy. Gas mileage is something to be desired. I don't know why you need AWD for highway driving - maybe they should offer a 2WD Denali.

Great car but is now made of or out off composite and not metal like it used to be. Ths makes for much better gas milage and the chasis is the same but not quite as safe as the 99's . The car looks great and has a great sound system (Bose) but the ride is not quite as good as the older suburbans. I did choose this over my 2002 Caddy (DeVille) i just got rid of.

Overall I am very pleased with this vehicle. The comfort, ride, and features are all way above average. I am 6'4" and this is one of the few SUVs that gives me the room I need. The stock stereo is excellent. I use the nav all the time. It's not a touch screen, but it works almost flawlessly in my experience. XM radio is well worth the money if you drive far away from big cities. it has a huge engine, tows great, will give you great acceleration for the size, and you'll have no trouble merging into traffic. Now for the negative. Poor gas mileage . At 11000 miles, I had a transmission issue. It shifted jack rabbit style into 2nd gear, the engine light came on, and I am still waiting for the warranty repairs from the dealer.

This was my first GMC vehicle and certainly not my last. The quality which was put in to the design and building of the vehicle is extraordinary. Everything fits, nothing rattles or wobbles, or makes noise, unless it's supposed to and you can just tell that the quality is there. My only complaint was that I couldn't get 17" wheels and tires...only on the Denalli which was not worth the difference in price (about $10,000). All in all, I am very happy with this one.

I really love my Denali but very disappointed with the material used in and around the vehicle is coming apart. the molding on the inside and outside is constantly falling off, the headrest seats where they connect are coming apart. The guide for the seats to move forward and backwards is coming off. You will have to be an installer to keep the unit together. I was totally surprised at the manufacturing and material use in a General Motors car and a luxury car at that.I still feel that the tranny is loose but am told at the dealers otherwise. Other than those things it is a great vehicle.

We love this auto. We have taken several trips and enjoy the roomey interior. The fold in mirror make it easy to park, not only in the garage but in tight parking lots.This would have been the best auto I have ever own except for its handeling. It is loose at high speeds. We just finished a trip to Florida pulling a trailer and had a very hard time with the handeling at speed above 70. It feels like the front end wants to pull one way or the other. we also find this at low speed at intersecting streets.

We have taken our Yukon camping, long trips and just every day run around. The two rear seats hold 6 car seats. I carry two sets of triplets on a daily basis. We are very pleased with everything about this SUV except with soaring gas prices feul ecenomy is obviously not the feature we were looking for. Coming from an Astro Van this SUV is pure luxury.

My husband and I have gone through NUMEROUS cars in the last 10 years, and this is by far my favorite. The few things I had to get used to were, the turning, parking, & fuel consumption ($49.00 fill up; 31 gal.). Those are the "negatives". For the positives, I could go on and on...but most importantly, you get a lot of respect on the road. The kids love it and we can haul all of their stuff, and all of us (5), VERY comfortably. It's a beautiful vehicle that is a pleasure to drive. The feeling of being safe, with the size and build of the car along with having Onstar, gives me incredible peace of mind.

I AM HAVING A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2004 DENALI. I HAVE A REALLY BAD POPING NOISE UNDER THE CAR IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BUT THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT THEY DONT KNOW HOW TOO. SO I TRY NOT TO DRIVE UNLESS I HAVE TO , I PARK AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT, SO KNOW ONE WILL KNOW ITS MINE. ITS SOUND LIKE SOMEONE IS UNDER IT HITTING IT WITH A HAMMER. YOU PAY 50000 FOR A VEHICLE AND ASHAMED TO DRIVE IT. I WOULDN'T RECOMMENT ANYONE TO BUY ONE NOW. IT NOT WORTH THE EMBARRASEMENT.

What a pleasure to drive! Traded a 2000 Expedition for my Denali and do not miss it one bit! Interior is cushy, personalized settings are superior. Solid, smooth ride, without the beastly, top-heavy feel of the Expedition. Huge improvement in acceleration with the 325 hp motor.

My previous vehicle was a 1998 Ford Explorer. I was considering three vehicles: the FX 45, the Audi Allroad and the GMC Denali. I test drove them all and settled on the Denali. The engine is excelent along with the interior finish. I never used to listen to music, however the XM radio on the Nav screen thrills me beyond end. My only disappointment is that the factory wheels on the Denali are a pedestrian 17 inches, and for a vehicle this large there should be an option to upgrade to a larger rims and wheels.

I've had 1998 and 2001 Linc Navigators and the 2001 had all sorts of problems and has a ride that compares to a 3/4 ton truck. The GMC Yukon XL has more room and good towing capacity, but drives with car comfort. Very consistant purformer with good quality to value ratio in the GMC Yukon.

I LOVE this vehicle. The only downside is the city gas mileage, particularly since the gas prices are up right now. Other than that, we chose this vehicle over the FORD expecition and the Lincoln Navigator because of its exceptional power and clean interior styling. It is also a bit pricey, but we plan to keep it until the wheels fall off!

I love my new GMC Yukon, Denali 2004. The word Denali, means "GREAT ONE" and that is what I have. I traded in my 1999, Toyota, Landcruiser, (my second) and was very hesitant about purchasing anything else. I made the right choice! My gas mileage is better than my toyota and is better than the sticker mileage and any review that I read. I am now sold on GMC. This is a GREAT suv in every way!

I love this car. My family is constantly arguing over who gets to drive it(our other car is a Mercedes). This car is definately more comfortable and drives better(smoother) than my E320. As for the gas mileage--it gets better MPG than my brother-in-law's BMW M3. For such a large powerful vehicle the gas mileage is pretty good.
