I have a red one these in the regular size not the XL. I say the column shift stays to keep all of the room in the console. A dial on the dash would be okay with me though. I agree the storage space over the spare tire could be more useful with a better cover and handle. The hi-beams are a pet peeve of mine too with the other cheap old school bulbs. Even my Hyundia Tucson Limited has a panoramic roof and HID's and LED"S all around I think. Hello GMC, are you listening to your professional grades now? Mine does not have a gearbox whine. It did take it a while to loosen up when new, maybe a few thousand miles before it rode even better and shifted easier. It was a stiff tight vehicle new. If I could add a number six to your list it would be the crappy nav system. The video system, forget it. Even if you can figure out how to use it still has short comings. I just put a DVD in and push buttons until it plays on the right screen. My major irritation is the nav map screen, it has a large black directional arrow that covers up local detail around you. It uses the same black arrow on the weather map from the satellite XM/Sirius radio and again you can't see what is going on around you for many miles. Ford/Lincoln large SUV's have a much better and clearer nav screen with even more weather detail and includes information on the weather screen like hail and windstorms (tornado). I didn't buy another Ford Expedition because of the motor differences; GM was the winner here, love that 6.2L. It replaced my 5.4L Ford Expy the was nothing short of anemic at best, even going downhill with a hurricane force tail wind. I really like my Denali with only the 8 speed now but will look elsewhere for its replacement, but wait there are no other large SUV's left on the market. I like the size and road height of a large SUV but who else has a competitor for them? If you do change out all your bulbs for LED's please post the swap out with the part numbers on here.

My 2016 Yukon SLT has cost me more in repairs than I spent on my 2002 Chevy Tahoe LS in 25 years. Yukon tail lights $800.00, the paint is dead on the hood and the roof from the windshield to behind the sunroof, Stabilitrack is out and the driver assist doesn’t work. The console lid phone charger doesn’t work, and the latch is broken. The engine has an annoying loud tick which I gave read is usually cylinder 4 messed up which will cost a huge amount for a lifter job. The Yukon and Tahoe read door gaskets are a definite design flaw. $68,000 and it does not have a light under the hood. I am not pleased at all. I loved my old Tahoe and wish I had never bought this GMC defect.

The column shifter gives you more space in your column shifter. I drink my coffee on the way to work every day and a console shifter would get in the way constantly. Also I agree it is certainly reliable. As far as the floor cover that bows, I agree whole heartedly. But GM has finally come a long way from interior rattles, and a non fold flat 3rd row. I have an 06 Yukon Denali Xl and an 18 Sierra SLT. They have made significant improvements over time.

I'm still trying to figure out why people don't like a column shifter. Is there an issue with it? No. The only reason people complain is because Ram and Ford have them so they automatically think GM should do the same thing. I'll take a column shifter over a button that IS GOING to go bad eventually. Possibly sooner rather than later. Plus it just takes up more room on the center console. The center console on the Yukon/Tahoe is perfectly designed and looks amazing. Last thing I want is a big knob in the middle of it taking up storage space. LED bulbs have nothing to do with the price of the vehicle BTW. Most of the time you don't need to use high beams when your vehicle is equipped with HID's anyway. I know it bothers the hell out of me when I see these "hey bo" trucks riding around with HID's in every possible light locatoin on the front of the vehicle. Projector HID's were designed to NOT BLIND other people. The panoramic sunroof is also just a "cool" factor. If you've ever owned a vehicle with a sunroof then you know they will eventually leak. Who wants a massive leak to deal with 10-15 years from now?

I hate the new gearshift in the Cadillac XT line. It is horrible. Push forward for reverse and pull back to drive forward? The awkward placement of the shift unlock button doesnt help either. I do wish the column shift was more rigid in my Escalade, and wouldn't mind it being replaced with a push button shift system. I hope they save the massaging seats for the Escalade Platinum line, as there needs to be more differentiation between the product lines. The LED backup lights on the Escalade are horrible as well. They don't put out enough light for the backup camera. I'm considering adding a led light bar under the rear bumper to activate when I put it in reverse.

The Denali Handel's better and has MORE room inside.

Day 3 with my Denali and noticed the trans whine 'on the drive home. GM has been having some serious issues with their truck transmissions (minus Allison on HD models). I am coming from a 2015 Sierra 1500 that I had lifted with 35" tires on it. That set up all but made the trans go get PTSD. It would miss shifts, hold shifts, etc. My opinion on the Denali ...scratch that...on the entire GM lines of trucks and SUVs, replace the transmission with something as reliable as the Allison. I am ok with the column shift and would replace that gripe with the rake of the vehicle. I have already ordered a leveling kit to raise that front in. It is an SUV. We who buy large SUVs are not worried about arrow-dynamics or gas mileage. See Toyota or Ford on how SUVs ride height should look from the factory.

It is noise from the AC system. When you are driving and the noise is obvious, turn the AC button OFF. It will go away

It’s not only the transmission it could also be the vortec on the motor because the motor is a 6.2 liter vortec V8
@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA6 жыл бұрын
Thomas BMX I dint believe they are Vortech engines anymore the Vortech was because of the intake design and port injection these are direct injected like the new lt1 which can have a noise from injectors and the DOD but that’s not the type of noise I am hearing I do have a suspicion it is the Kose canceling in the passenger speaker that may be bad

I love the complainer videos. There are plenty of dealer vids that will talk about all the awesomeness. We are thinking of going from sienna AWD to an SUV with 4x4. I want to know all the nitty gritty of spending $80,000 on a dang car!! So far, this is my favorite, and nothing is turning me off. But that trunk thingie and the whine are annoying.

The Denali does have real wood venear on the trim .....and they should add a handle for the rear lift window , at highway speeds what is with the wind noise from the sunroof I have to slide the cover close if i want it to be quiet , I also have the famous rattle in the dash at times but overall still love my truck ......

All legitimate complaints to me as I was considering to buy one. Moving from a Porsche Cayenne is rather difficult to find a good reliable large SUV. Good stuff

Thank you for the video - question as I see your extra storage in the back - do you not have a 3 rd seating?

I agree with the led lights and if it has a trans noise I’d say that’s not good but as to the sun roof after replacing the front one on our Buick at 1500$ after catching a rock off a large truck I would get it with no sun roof at all. It’s a bad day when your headed to a meeting and that thing brakes and cover you in glass. Not at all a far of the nob shifters. I’ll stay with my pull down shifter but I want it in the steering stem not in the consul.

The Ford Pickup isnt considered a family travel vehicle for the highway though most will use it like that. Thats why the panoramic is there and not a fold down Tv. But i do agree with the reverse lights and plate lights not being LED. It's just another way automakers will nickle and dime you because most consumers dont even pay attention nor care for those tid bits you mention. Good Eye tho! The same with the high beams.....

Looks like GMC hears your whine. The 2021 Denali is here. No more column shifter, Sunroom is bigger, DVD is behind the headrest. etc... I still like my 2015 Denali.

I just got a 2015 Yukon about 3 months ago and I have a question do you ac seats suck in the hot weather by this I mean you butt is cooled but your lower back stays super warm?

Yeah the cooled seats do what they can and aren't super effective but with my black leather tinting the front windows helped a lot on hot days

How bout number 6 the blurry rear camera resolution. Or number 7 the front driver seat bolster going flat on the left side causing you to lean left. Or 8 the thin sheet metal that dents if you look at it. Or the flubby roiugh idle on the 5.3...other than that is is BOSS!
