my brother has one, he likes it. The only thing he complains about is the gas mileage.

They are gorgeous.... However save yourslf some loot and look at the new tahoes. They have sooooo much potential!
Either way, full size GM suvs RULE!!!!

They can't be any worse than the TB SS I had was.

i have a 04 yukon with the dvd/tv loaded to the max but i believe the denali's come with the 6.0 and i have the 5.3..i love it,,very comfy and plenty of power so im sure you'd enjoy that 6.0,,the gas milage isnt terible considering what your driving and the power it has,ive hit 21-22 highway on trips..besides who buys a 3 ton suv with 3 rows of leather and a healthy v8 for good milage?

Those are sick trucks. The only bad thing I've heard is that they suck on gas.

well i have an 06 denali p/u awd with the 6.0 loaded with the dvd roof ect ect. Its an awesome truck, the mpg kinda suck. I got 15.5 going out to kentucky from delaware through the hills of WV running 75-80. I uploaded a superchip program to it while i was out there and got 17.5 on the way back. On the flat lands i could probably get another mpg or so. It comfortable for a truck but the suv should ride a little better. the 6.0 is a hoss. iv run saleen pickup(380hp?) from 20ish to 90ish running neck and neck and i have the 410 gears and i believe that was an option. i think the 373 was standard.

Becuase it will be the famliy hauler also. Last year I alomst killed my wifes TB towing the SS to the shootout.
I would love the duramax otheriwse.

Yeah, I've been hearing that they aren't the best on gas but I had a TB SS and neither was it. I believe this one has the 3.73 gears. I will probably do a couple small things like CAI/tune and e fans to help with the MPG.
I keep hearing these trucks will run to 200K + without any real issues.

Well, I need to dump the V sooner than I though with the current clutch in the car and some other items its needs soon...so it looks like I might be in another TB SS I saw the other day. The wife will love that...TB SS No. 2

I'd rather have a full size, fuel economy will be on par with the TBSS and having the extra room is really nice.
