6.2 is an option now, 5.3 is standard starting with the new body styles. I was in the market 8 months ago, and looked at them since I had an older one.
That is apparently a truck only thing.

Since were kinda of track and talking about the Denali anyone have any experience with 2011-2014 2500 Denali with the gas motor. I don't really need the 3/4 ton but I love the way it looks. Trying to avoid going with a diesel, but I'm worried about the lack of power.

Plenty of people use gas powered 3/4 ton trucks to do actual work, I'm sure it'd be fine.

That was my thought. The 6.0 motor is pretty bulletproof and I know a lot of fleets prefer it over the diesel.

And I both believe, and it is factual, that I can buy a turn key classic car/truck/suv of my choosing with all of the features of new for half the price.
I'm so close to dumping 25k on a wagoneer with a hemi conversion I can taste it.

What $50k new SUV are you comparing it to?
Posted on 6/23/15 at 1:41 pm to NYCAuburn
Rarely towing over 10k, maybe twice a year. All trucks I've looked at have 3.73 gears

These trucks will hold up at least as long as their 1999 counterparts.

I guess we should all just ride around in carts and buggy with horses still. All this new fangled mumbo jumbo. Get off my lawn.

That was called Quadrasteer, and you generally had to order them. Did not come standard. IIRC, it was like $5k extra

Standard on Sierra Denali from 2002-2004.

My 04 6.0 has 4.10s, and tows very well. Very reliable, and it is cheap and easy to fix. That's what you should be looking at
Gas and all maintenance is also cheaper

Any of them capable of going more than 50ft offroad.
Excuse me if I don't need a vibrator for my vag to let me know I crossed the center line.
Things that are important:
Fuel injected.
Leather interior
Seats with lower back support
Real transfer case
Overdrive auto trans
AC
Heat
Bed lined or rubber floor
Axles that can handle 35s
Over 10 inches of travel at every corner
Power windows and locks
Obd2
Better than 18mpg hwy
As for navigation and entertainment, in dash tab with back up cam and front cam for safety under 5mph.
Do some pricing, it is SHOCKING what you can get classic vehicles with modern tech for.

So you can't get everything. That's great you can get what's important to you, but your statement was wrong.

Who's financing and insuring these mutants? And who is fixing them when they break? Stocking replacement parts? Do they drive anything like a modern vehicle should? At least you don't have to worry about a warranty.

I wouldn't mind having an old Bronco/Jeep as a second or third vehicle but it's nothing I'm driving every day
Posted on 6/23/15 at 2:03 pm to LNCHBOX
Doesn't need a vibrator but "leather" is on his important list
Posted on 6/23/15 at 2:03 pm to Croacka
don't forget the lower back support
Posted on 6/23/15 at 2:03 pm to LNCHBOX
I knew 2 people with Denali trucks, and neither of them had it. It was an option

You knew two people that either had a 2001 C3, or you knew 2 people with the crew cab 2005-2007 classic Denali. You're absolutely wrong on this. I had a 2003 Sierra Denali back in the day.
