SUT to Yukon Denali

[2010_5thgen]

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.

With all that engine you have to know it needs exercised!

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.

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...

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.

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....

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.

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...

As someone that traded my SUT off exactly one year ago this week for a Tahoe LTZ, I am still in super regret mode... Why didn't anyone me!

Part of my job requires lots of driving (35k/yr.), and the LTZ is nice enough to drive, but comparing it to the H2, - the seats suck, visibility sucks, I only get 2-3 more mpg, the 5.3 feels like it has less power than the 6.0 regardless of vehicle weight, chicks don't dig it, and it looks like every other damn "soccer mom" ride. The only things I like better about the Tahoe are the radio/navigation/back-up camera, it doesn't stand out on the highway from the state troopers and the interior doesn't squeek to high heaven. I won't even comment on snow/ice/mud and rain.

I'm really considering selling the LTZ for a low mileage '07 Yellow... Not that I have been looking or anything...

I have an 09 H2 and my plans are to keep it for as long as it will run.
