Pros

Amazing vehicle, loaded with options, excellent power.

Cons

Electrical issues.

Purchased As Used

This was my first Denali, wished I'd bought one years ago. Bought used for great price and mileage, but now at 50,000 miles the speedometer quit working, the radio won't cut off when you get out, and the tire pressure system quit working. Truck cost way to much for me to have to put in shop with only that many miles on it....read morehide

Pros

Beautiful car, lots of options for a GM

Cons

Bad service department, lots of rattles and noises for a $55K vehicle

I traded it after 6 months, due to several issues with interior and engine noises that the dealer could not figure out...ugh! I regreat selling my Tahoe Z71 for the Denali...Chevy definitely makes a better truck, even though it should be the same. I think GM is just not prepared for all the high end things they are putting in this vehicle.
Got a Toyota Sequoia now!!...read morehide

Pros

Rides great.

Cons

not enough miles to the gallon.

Everything is perfect. i love it more than anything i have ever driven before in my life.

Pros

Use much fuel

Cons

Rides nice

Its built beautifully and the front end is sharp. This car is an excellent truck for family and friends.

Pros

XM Radio, On-Star, status symbol, appearance (esp. w/22s), DVD a must w/kids, reliable, dependable

Cons

fuel economy, 2nd row seat could be bit larger, but OK, 3rd row should be floor level

I own an '03 Nali that I purchased new. I love my Nali!! Escalade owners look at my truck and wished they'd bought one. Even the dealership compliments me. I turn heads when I'm cruisin'. Very comfortable interior, smooth car-like ride, safety features abound, ample conveniences, seperate radio for 2nd row seated passengers (used w/headphones), DVD player a must for kids. I had to take back to dealer for a few minor problems (new radio knob, errant light on in display, sensor)over the past 2 yrs. GM Bumper-to-Bumper svc is REALLY BUMPER-to-BUMPER!! They covered everything, even gave me a rental for over-night repair. Last vehicle was Ford...trust me, they don't give a shyt about you after you drive off their lot, no matter what state you buy! That's for real! Swear by GM products! Get one and you'll see! Even the wife likes my Nali!! Hated Expedition, too big, bulky, too many problems. Likes feel and handle of Nali. Even with 22s, driving comfort not compromised. Personally wouldn't take 4-wheeling (too expensive), but I'm sure it's capable. Escalade was nice too, but far too common in my neighborhood. Get yours today!...read morehide

Pros

Fast and looks great, Smooth ride, feel safe at all times

Cons

Gas Mileage

I bought my 2005 Denali in Oct. 04. It's a great truck that truly rides like a luxury car. I would recommend this truck to anyone. I bought this truck over a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc because I wanted to buy American again. Plus it's larger than all of the others I mentioned.
The only complaint so far with my truck is that the heated front seats do not stay on. I have almost 6 thousand miles on it and that is the only complaint. It's actually at the dealership today getting that issue fixed. The dealership I bought it from in Dallas Texas has been the best as far as follow up and service. They brought me to work today and are picking me up this afternoon in a new caddy....read morehide

Pros

Too many to count for far less than Escalade

Cons

None

This truck has far exceeded my expectations. I traded in my Expedition and the difference between the two is like night and day.
