16 Denali - new owner

brendon444 · November 15, 2016

Hey guys just bought a 2016 August build Yukon Denali. Nervous about the troubles I've read but so far it's perfect (500km) Little firm but it has 22's. 500kms. Also have 14 Sierra Denali which has been great so hoping for the same with the Yukon. White/ shale interior full optioned.

One question. Can I shut off the adaptive cruise and use normal cruise when I choose. If not seems very silly not to allow that. Haven't been able to figure if I'm able too.

Picture. White frost tricoat.

The new body style is a step up from the 07-14 however I still don't feel the Msrp's are worth it. This truck's Msrp was $87,340 canadian. I paid no where close to that but I'm sure some did and will again. Full optioned and still no 360 camera, massage seats (f150 have them) small sunroof and very tight back seat. (Realize this is due to rear axle but still) Also feel the seats should be stepped up over base slt.

Escalade does offer this but price tags are crazy. This is already close to 6 figures.

Reason I did purchase is I love my 14 sierra, body style, engine / trans combo, great fuel mileage and had been reliable knock on wood. Fords expedition is dated, don't like the Durango and needed dealer support close by so those were the options. Wanted something able to tow. Love gm's powertrain.

Anyways so far happy with the purchase and crossing my fingers I don't have any issues I'm reading. Taking a chance I felt after reading the forums.

Congrats. Love the new White Frost option.

Where abouts are you in Canada? I'm in Mississauga Ontario.

I love my '16 Yukon Denali as well. The MSRP's are crazy high but as long as the deal is fair, it doesn't matter. In fall 2015, local Cadillac dealer had a new Escalade (think it was AWD) they would have let go for $75k, I wanted that one but the Yukon was more my style. Good friend has an expedition, it feels so 2005, and he's had some warranty problems.

Congrats. Just enjoy it, remember most post on forums about problems. Many have no issues. Try to get used to the adaptive cruise. I wanted options also but there are none. its all or nothing. I actually like it now, and when there is more traffic i just interrupt it till traffic clears. Once you get comfortable with it its awesome.
