I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct forum, but I'm looking at either a 2012/2013 or the newer 2014/2015 sierra 1500 Denali. The truck will be used primarily as a daily driver and only for occasional towing.
I'm curious as to what truck owners that have owned one or both of the denali models think about ride quality, handling, braking and power. I've read that long term reliability of the mag ride in the 2014 and newer models can be a problem in the Illinois salt climate and that the non-mag ride is much firmer. I'd also read that the older 2013 models tend to ride smoother. I also understand that the newer models have 4x4 vs the AWD system of the older models. Of course there is the power difference in the engines and the AFM issue in some of the newer engines. And the cab interior of the 2014 is an upgrade, but how comfortable are the seats?
If one had the choice of a lower (maybe 80k) mileage well cared for 2013 model vs a higher (maybe 120k) mileage well cared for 2014 model, which would you vote for and why? thanks for the comments
