SUT to Yukon Denali
Well finally decided to let go of one of the Hummers. Sold my H2 SUT and bought the Denali. I do like the towing capacity and the 6.2, but need to see how it holds up on daily use. I will have to see how my thoughts are after a few months of driving.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
The real question should be hows the "FUEL ECONOMY"? I havn't noticed any body roll but then again I havn't really tried to see how fast it takes corners either. But it is a softer ride than was the SUT. It has good power though. Its still not my favorite but there just doesn't seem much on the market that interests me at this time. I just wanted to have something to pull the boat with.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
You will love the power, the 6.2 is wonderful. But you're not gonna get great mileage..you might if you really keep your foot out of it. But the Denali is a very nice ride.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
i love the denalis. great trucks. my grandpa had an escalade and it held up great. he is very rough on his cars. my mom had a yukon with the 5.3 but as far as cosmetically and interior, they hold up great.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
You will likely see another 1-2 mpg's city and 3-4 highway. The Denali is on a 1/2 ton chassis vs. 3/4 ton, is more aerodynamic and lower to the ground. I have a couple of friends with the late model (6.2L 6speed) Denalis and Escalades and this is based off the mileage they are getting.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
All in all I really missed selling the SUT and it was "almost" like loosing a kid but I still have my other one so that made it easier. Just hope that over time I don't regret the decision. The H2's are getting harder to find.. '"Wife's" you can't live with them and you can't live without them! now you know the rest of the story...

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
My shop keeps a 2012 Tahoe with the 6.2 in it for rental when cars are getting repaired. Great vehicle but damn, it only gets 12 mpg.
The ironic part is I have been flipped off for driving an H2 because of the crappy gas mileage but I've never seen anyone flip off an Excursion, Tahoe or Escalade...lol.
Enjoy your new ride, it may not be your H2 but that's still a cool ride.

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
I have a Denali as my daily driver and save the Hummer for the weekends. I have had no problems with my Denali in the 3 years I have owned it. Holds up great, drives great in all conditions even off road, and is a smoother and quieter ride. I don't regret buying it and have no plans to get rid of it.

Opps, am I mistaken? I thought all the new Tahoes had the 6.2 now instead of the 6.0?s? No?
It?s one we keep for a rental but in either case, it?s only getting like 12 mpg on the highway.
Out of curiosity, I?ll check it now. Sorry if I assumed....

Re: SUT to Yukon Denali
This had caught my attention from what I had read, but after some rechecking there is only the 5.3 ltr even in LTZ trim, wow!

Dude, when it comes to HUMMER's, and my wife understands this clearly, I could live without the wife! I might miss her, sure, but there are some compromises that have to be made!
I still don't understand why she thinks I'm a dick... |
