What are you thinking?

Here are my options..

 

1. Same exact truck with gm 22s, crew w/ standard box, mine had every option

-sun roof

-3.42s

-8" touch w/ nav

-trailer brake controller

-heated/cooled seats

-SLT preffered package

-heated steering wheel

-power rear slide w/ defrost

-Bose

-Driver alert package

-Iridium

 

OR

 

2. Same options as above in a Denali w/ a 5.3, Iridium crew standard box.

 

But if I went Denali it would only be with 20s..

 

 

Thoughts??

I really like the 22" wheels but think the standard 20" ones on the Denali look almost as good. I just ordered a Denali last week & those wheels are on constraint...hope it won't be a long delay. I ordered everthing on mine except the 22" wheels. As pretty as they are, I just can't see paying that much of an upgrade for wheels. I put it on the 6.2 instead.

I hate the Denali wheels. I'm sorry to those that have them they just aren't too liking.

 

I personally would choose the SLT with the 22's. The 22's look insane on this truck.

 

The sliding rear window is not available at the present time from what I've read.

 

I've heard weird stories about the lane departure system being hinky especially with dirty windshields.

 

Cooled seats aren't my thing but if you like them more power to ya. Only thing here is that there have been others that have mentioned they blow hot air the passengers the rear (the vents on the rear the seat).

Option #3

 

Same exact truck (with 20s) and a 6.2L

 

I know it will probably be a long wait, but like I said.. I have the SLT All Terrain loaner in the mean time with the possibility of getting mine back to drive when its repaired.. All free miles!

[BringTheRain403]

I personally say 5.3 with the 22's unless you need to tie 12000 pounds...

3.42 gears are a joke

Curious how you come up with this opinion?

That's the lowest axle ratio a available on the 1500s unless you do NHT package. 3.42s aren't as sluggish as they were on the 800-series trucks because the six speed has a way lower first gear.

Agreed. The 6 speed has a 1st gear ratio of 4.027 while the 4 speed has a 1st gear ratio of 3.059. So with a 3.42 rear end, the 6 speed still has a shorter first gear than the 4 speed trucks ever did.

I just drove a Denali and that instrament panel is pretty cool.

Paired with the 6 speed....I beg to differ. Yea 3.73s are probably a lot different. But for my 90% around town traffic, they work quite well.
