Deletions from the 2003 Denali

[pharden]

In comparing my 2001 Denali to the 2003, I saw some interesting deletions or changes. Of course some are more significant than others.

 

1. Goodyear Tires

2. No more underhood light

3. Power points at rear of center console eliminated

4. Denali lettering removed from int. door trim panels

5. Locking rear axle differential (replaced with Traction control)

6.Power lock switch in cargo area

7. Speed sensitive power steering

 

Any other deletions that people have noticed?

why did they take the under the hood light out?

 

???

 

are they implying something? (their owners dont do their own maintenance VERY SUBTLE GM!!!)

That is a good point, it probably saved them $1 billion on underhood lights too.  I wonder how many Denali owners at $45K to $55K per truck ever open their own hoods?  Probably not many.
