That's awesome! Yeah pretty much EVERY Suburban Premier in my neck of the woods has 22's. There was one identical to mine at the same dealership but 20's rather than the 22's. I'd have preferred that one, but the one with 20's had just been sold. So far I've been pleasantly surprised at how "good" the ride quality is with the 22's, and while it definitely has a mild case of the vibration/resonance issues, it's not bad at all and more than tolerable, and nice to know that just swapping the Bridgestones out for Michelins will probably do the trick. Mine is Pepperdust. Not my first choice exterior color but it works for me, but needed to have a non-black interior first, so had to be a little flexible somewhere. Congrats on the new ride! :) 

Thanks! Glad I'm not the only one who prioritizes interior over exterior color! That being said, I really didn't want red because I knew there'd be no shortage of "Here comes the fire truck" jokes made at my expense. Pepperdust is pretty nice, definitely gives off a "Cowboy Cadillac" vibe. 

 

Here are some shots of the interior and exterior:

Somebody in my neighborhood actually has a new RED Burb, and that's exactly what I think whenever I see it! LOL! I'm not too big on Pepperdust TBH, but correct that the exterior color had to end up falling into a don't really care category, just as long as it's not black or silver/grey, so Pepperdust it was. I hate the black interiors. Really like Cocoa/Dune. 

 

I came very close to buying a closeout 2018 Burb Premier at another dealership in Blue/Mahogany. It had the stuff I didn't want (power running boards, dvd/moonroof junk) and not the stuff I did (3.42 gears and Adaptive Cruise), but good lord at $14k off MSRP I could live with it! They jacked the price up by $3k as soon as I asked about it and then wouldn't honor the lower price, so I walked. Happy that I did! I like the one I got better. :) 

Pepperdust is a pretty classic Chevy color I think. Would have preferred a blue or white, but I'm sure it'll grow on me. I'm already liking that it seems to hide dirt pretty well.

I've driven aobut 6 GM vehicles with adaptive cruise, as well as two Ford products.  GM's was the smoothest at maintaining speed amongst vehicles ahead, and the "close" distance was not so tailgating like the Ford system was.  The Ford system at close range kept me 1 maybe 1 and a half car lengths behind the car in front, where the GM system has a better distance buffer.  The Ford system seemed rather jerky with its speed maintaining.

Have you tried Toyota's? I was pretty impressed with the system in the Land Cruiser.

That is one awesome combo right there! Class ride. Not your ordinary white with tan interior! This cocoa/ dark atmosphere is one of their nicest colors of late. Best of luck!

 

I installed this for protection and love it:

The fit is perfect and the floor mats come in cocoa color look great and work better.

Dose anyone know if Adaptive cruse control can be added to an already purchased ( only 2 weeks ago) 2020 Denali XL? We found one of the few remaining 2020 XL Denali's here in the Houston area, and was offered a good deal. The sales guy told me it was in there ( no window sticker available at the time) and once we sealed the deal and started to go over all the set ups, we discovered it only has the automatic breaking, at settable distances. I'm supposed its not in there, has almost every other option available.

 

I'm hoping its just a software update, or a add in module/sensor in the grill. I saw other vehicles that had it ( showed on window sticker) in there and the buttons on the steering wheel look exactly the same.

 

Anyone, who may know something about this, I would greatly appreciate.

 

Thanks you in advance, if anyone has any feedback.

I am pretty sure you have it, A Yukon with the Denali trim level i would be surprised if you dont. Have you tried to drive it with cruise on? It is nearly invisible when its on, GM does not call it out when it engages, only a green light with an extra mark on it. Check with your RPO codes, if you have it it will be listed. The QR placard is located on the drivers door pillar way way down near the bottom along with other info.

This is what the symbol used to look like (2015+) but it may be different in 2020.  Anyway, the car is missing if you DON'T have ACC.  I thought my LTZ would have it but it does not, so just engage your cruise and see if the symbol is there.

Yes that is what I was trying to convey, thanks for the info.  The only issue i have with the adaptive is I would want to go back to regular cruise at my discretion. Sometimes when the front is blocked with snow, the system turns off but I would want regular to work depending on road conditions.

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
