What is there not to love?
This is absolutely one of the best SUV's GM has ever built. I have owned a '96, '99, '00, '02, and now a '05. They keep getting better each year. These trucks offer so much room and drive just like a car. The truck is very versatile and will continue to buy these trucks. I put 70,000 miles on it and I swear to God that nothing ever went wrong with it. I treated the truck well and vice versa. I own a mint '86 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, which floats down the road, but this Yukon's ride is pretty hard to beat. Turning radius is sharp and the handling is great. I took a 500 mile trip a couple weekends ago and got 19.8 mpg, cruising at 60 mph. If you are considering an SUV, buy a Yukon.
Wife Chose this over LR3
We test drove 3 vehicles, the Denali, the SRX V6 Cadillac, and the LR3. I kind of preferred the LR3, but the wife likes how "cushy" the Denali is. In truth, the Denali is much more comfortable for driver and passanger. I just like the fact that the LR3 is so tough. Well, it was for her so we got the Denali instead. We love it. 5 days into it and It is awesome. By the way the Cadillac is a piece of junk, to small and no power. also the v6 SRX was going to cost more than my Denali. Our Denali has Sunroof, Nav, and Rear Seat Entertainment. I recommend this package for anyone. The SRX had only a sunroof.

Better Than Expected
Nice vehicle. Better than I expected. Gas mileage is poor, but I knew this going into purchase. Roomy interior for passengers, but not a lot of cargo space behind third row. Gaps between body panels could be improved upon. Strong engine performance. Only problems to date have been excessive moisture in a front corner lamp and a squeaky driver's door. The dealer replaced the corner lamp and a check linkage on the driver's door.
RETIRED

What a change!
I suffered through 2.5 yrs with a Land Rover Discovery that my wife finally agreed to trade in, and there's no looking back. The Denali is the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven. The motor is awesome. Even if it wasn't fast, it would be worth it just for the SOUND. For anyone that does a lot of family driving, it's hard to imagine a nicer truck. In addition, it's a real heavy-hauler when it's time for hauling big stuff. It also doesn't hurt that it's the best-looking truck out there. Nice job, GMC.
