A Denali is not an offroad vehicle, the H3 is. Two completely different vehicles and trying to draw some comparision between the two is asinine. Besides, about the only reason one wouldn't like a Denali is if they owned one prior to 2001.

Of course I know what I want, and I stated my inteded purposes of the car. I want a truck that handles better than the Denali which was mush, but I don't want a terribly harsh ride. What about that makes you think I don't know what I want?

Don't mind paragon. He has a lot of time on his hands and is just trying to get a rise out of you. He really does have a lot of good knowledge on Hummers and wheeling, but it mostly stays in the H2 forum. He gets his kicks trolling our forum, passing out criticism and hazing the newbs. But what do you expect from a guy who thinks "dreams are for losers"?

All well and good. Trolls are a part of life on the internet. I'm very active on the M5 forum and other boards, I know how it works.

the fact that you even remotely think a H3 will handle better than a Denali
and the fact that you don't

it does everything better than an H3 on the Highway, as far as handling is concerned.
But the same can be said for the Denali and the H2, the regular Yukon, a pickup, the Expedition, Excursion, and most other truck based vehicles.

paragon, I'd like to understand what you mean. Could you give some examples of your expectations of good handling on the highway? Or maybe a few situations where the driving characteristics of the other trucks is superior to the H3? Personal experience or objective reports would be great.

I didn't say the other trucks were superior to the H3. I said that the Denali was superior to most truck based vehicles in the handling department.
That's from vast experience. I've owned one since 2001 and have driven nearly all of the other vehicles. Get your heads out of your collective asses. The Denali is made for the road, period. It's Ok for it to drive better.

Re: Salutations - suggestions sought
I owned a pre-2001 Denali and still think it's a better vehicle for the road, but that's also where it needs to stay. It's not an offroad vehicle.

Re: Salutations - suggestions sought
My Yukon Denali drove like mush. The worst driving experience I've ever had in a truck. My ex's Envoy Denali, however, was much better.

Yes you did, "it does everything better than an H3 on the Highway, as far as handling is concerned. But the same can be said for the Denali and the H2, the regular Yukon, a pickup, the Expedition, Excursion, and most other truck based vehicles"
... Unless you meant that the Denali is superior to itself on the highway, which is meaningless.

I appreciate that you have personal experience with driving a Yukon Denali. Could you elaborate on the specific aspects of its highway handling which are better than the H3? This is an honest question. I've never driven a Denali and I am curious about your opinion.
