GMC Denali Review - is it King of the GM Trio?

[@mikeeaton9822]

I love my 08 Denali even 275000 miles she's starting to show some age but I'll keep it and fix her when she needs some love.

[@markmarley7489]

Love these trucks......got the 97yukon had the 06....now i have a 08........all of them black!!!

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Any major problems with them over the years???

[@DocksideAdventures]

Just picked up an 08 Denali with the 6.2L, 126k miles, for $4800. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. I've had Silverados, Sierras, F150's, F250's, and I'll never own another vehicle. This tank does everything those trucks did and I can fit the whole fam! Just going to buy up all the 07-08 Denalis I can find hahaha. These trucks rock!

​​@DocksideAdventures nice! Does it have DOD? And 6 spd correct?

[@claytonportwood2953]

I just bought a 2008 yukon XL Denali and I absolutely love it. Mine has the black interior and I another fetcher that I like is the upgraded touchscreen radios wich is way better than the stock radios in that Era. And the backup cam screen is on that radio/navigation screen wich is sooo much better then in the rear view mirror.

[@mujjuman]

Nice! I’m looking to buy a 2007 or 2008 model too. It’s what I can afford right now. How many miles does your Yukon XL Denali have?

[@dennisquintanilla6999]

@@mujjuman you should get one because I just bought one 2 weeks ago but a 2011 with 103k miles got it for a heck of a deal price

[@mujjuman]

@@dennisquintanilla6999 That’s awesome man! I’m glad you got a good deal on one! That’s LOW miles esp for a 2011 from what I’ve been seeing in my area. I did end up getting a 2010 model and I’m loving it! I love the space it offers, seating capacity, ground clearance, toughness, dependability, and V8 sound. It runs and drives great, very comfortable and roomy. Took my whole family on a cross country trip (Don’t worry - we tested negative for covid before and after the trip. We kept to ourselves) im looking to upgrade the headunit to something more modern with Bluetooth but I hope it’s compatible with the backup camera. I put so many miles on it - over 8000 miles in just a short time! Lol!

Hows the ride quality over rough roadways???

[@joalgose24]

The best of gmc denali! Long life motors! Transmission may not last as the motor but just replace it! Well 300k miles No problem of course with maintenance like should be that’s very important if you want to have a last long denali 👍🏻

[@glogang2288]

When I bought this truck 3 years ago I had bought it with 80k miles for $8k, after a few weeks it started having problems with the engine. We had to get a whole new $5k 6.2 engine

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Now that seems really strange for the engine to go at only 80,000 miles...

[@dennisquintanilla6999]

I think that they rolled back the miles cus it’s wierd for these to ever have problems on the motor....plus it was so cheap and you didn’t even notice that?

[@Mobile.recording]

Thats why it was 8k

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

@@Mobile.recording Makes sense...

[@TheOriginalFrankMatthews]

@@dennisquintanilla6999 I think I bought a car with rolled back miles. What are additional ways to know the miles been tampered with.

[@dennishassler605]

I have a 2001 Chevy Suburban with over 320,000 miles on it and the engine runs PERFECT. It doesn't use a drop of oil on long trips and the only drawback is the mpg which is 16 mpg; however, it's a very safe car to drive. I'm a bit shy about trusting the newer GM vehicles, because the AFM systems are not reliable - being reliable is very important for me given I drive long distances in Mexico during tours.

[@nicholasmoser1918]

Now they do make tunes to rid of the AFM and these 3rd generation yukons and burbans are tanks come in AWD or 4x4 and flex fuel as well as a 5.3 6.0 and 6.2 crazy options love these trucks !

[@dennishassler605]

@@nicholasmoser1918 Yes, I am aware, but today they build the trucks different - it's like they put the engine on the frame and build the vehicle around all that, but placement of the cabin further to the front is nice, BUT they are putting part of the A/C system inside the cabin, so it's hard to access - you have to pull out the dash just to service it when there's a problem. My old Suburban is still running fine, so why buy a new one? I drive a lot in Mexico and it's best to have a more modest vehicle - best not to be too flashy and, then, if there's an accident you may never see your car again - so don't drive an expensive, new SUV in Mexico.

[@Texas_Cruiser]

​@@dennishassler605 I'm tempted to get a 6.0 or 8.1 GMT 800 over a 900 as shown in the vid. You stated good reasons.

[@dennishassler605]

@@Texas_Cruiser The 6.0 seems to get the same mileage as the 5.3 engine; however, it requires PREMIUM gas. It's a very similar engine. Somehow, the earlier models seem to have harder metal in their parts. I have hubs that were squeeking on an 06 GMC Envoy Denali with the 5.3 engine - I replaced the hubs, but I think they are made from softer metal. The hubs remain fine on the "01 Suburban and it doesn't need as much maintenance, too. I think the suburbans use TRUCK parts and it's designed to last longer, because the frame is the same as the trucks - fleet managers look for durability and lower maintenance costs so best to buy TRUCK frames.

[@Cityoftrees1911]

the 99/2000 escalade is basically just a rebadged Yukon. That may still hold true today.

[@hakeemsd70m]

At least today's Escalade has it's own styling.

[@Cityoftrees1911]

@@hakeemsd70m I'm not a fan of the new escalade. Especially for nearly 100k price tag that's insane especially for a GM product. Once you start to peel back the layers it's still essentially a Tahoe/Suburban at its core.

[@hakeemsd70m]

@@Cityoftrees1911 I see what you're saying. A Yukon Denali is without a doubt a much better value proposition, as it too can be had with real wood accents and brushed aluminum, but more importantly, a standard 6.2L V8.

[@BullyCanadian]

I bought a 2007 Yukon XL Denali for $1200 USD ($1500 CAD) full service records from the second owner. Only 119k miles (191k km). Was a great price. Engine, transmission, brakes, suspension all in excellent condition. I’m in southern Ontario so there was surface rust I had to take care of plus some dents. I put in another $1200 USD ($1500 CAD) into it (had some of the rust professionally addressed and the remainder myself) and it looks GREAT. Cannot complain. $2400 for a fully sorted out Yukon XL Denali with 119k miles? I can sell it for $10-$12k right now if I wanted but I’m keeping it!
