So much plastic in there it'll make an environmentalist mad.

The Sierra Denali is a better truck.

Love the 6.2, but GM interiors are still a concern.

I have the Platinum Edition only because you can't find the Limited Editions anywhere around here. Apparently, they are limited.

The only thing that I know of that the Limited Editions have that mine does not are the 22" wheels. Everything else, I have.

Can you get a 4x4 in the Limited? I haven't seen that option but I do have that on my Platinum.

But, if you can get a Limited...get it. It's really nice on the inside and it drives better than my wife's Acura SUV.

Worth it in the end. I drive one of the higher model Fords and I swear it's like driving a luxury car with a bed to move and haul stuff.

I highly doubt you got a steal on a low mileage late model Tacoma, kinda goes against their ridiculous resale. What'd you pay, and what options does it have?

I bought one the last day of the year, 2015. Got a 2015 with 19K miles. Sports package. As loaded as I found anywhere, HD radio, back up cameras, towing package. The only thing it didn't have was the navigation package. Also had upgraded 17" rims and the all terrain tires. (not 4X4). Honestly, looks and smells brand new. Spotless.

Got it for $27,500. Don't think it was a steal, but better deal than I could find anywhere else. I shopped for at least 6 months. Is that considered a good deal? I've never owned a truck in my life.

That's about as good a deal as you're gonna get on that truck, IMO.

New, I think that truck would be around $34-35K

The Denali interiors have always been pretty good. The new ones are a huge improvement, and I like it better than my buddy's Tundra.

I was comparing and searching new. And that's exactly what the new ones were listing at with the same options. Originally, the 2015 was at $30K, and I was thinking about just going new for that price difference. I have no idea how much they come off of the new prices. But at $27500, I felt like it was worth going with it. It's Certified, and I got the same warranty as new.

I liked my 2008 EXT, but 2-3 years in, lots of crap starts breaking, peeling, and fading.

Just put 1400 miles on a 2015 Tahoe and wasn't impressed with the seats. It had 31K on it and the interior seemed to be holding together so maybe they have improved.

They don't come off sticker much at all. Tacomas are just strong, new and used.

Never driven the new Tahoes, but the seats in my Denali are some of the most comfortable I've had.

Not sure I like the trend with the black wheels on the off road trucks.

Supposedly this will make it into production this year as a Trail package without the strange lights and graphics:

They are kind of ugly and the interior is meh.

My brother has one and it blows my mind what he paid for it.


Totally worth it hauling that one piece of furniture 2 to 3 times a year.

To be fair, it was a rental so the seats never have chance to reflate.

Not sure if I like the front end on the new ones. Headlights seem weird to me. Interior does look nice though.

I thought it steered real twitchy at first.

Then I realized I had about 300# of stuff behind the rear axle.

Interior was real plain-Jane, but it was a base model rental.

I have an 04 Yukon and still love it to death. It has every option that was available besides navigation and I always felt like it was still utilitarian. I feel like the new Tahoes and yukons are too fancy to get dirty inside
