There was a topic on it during SEMA. . .well it wasn't really a topic per se, it was just a picture, but :D after that I heard absolutely NOTHING about it. I'd even forgotten its existence.

I'm Iffy on this one. You could always put the Diesel in the 1500 and make a powerful Diesel Rig, but what they are trying to do is build a luxury work truck. It doesn't make much sense, The whole point of buying a dirty diesel is to haul large mud caked on equipment like bobcats, and hay/staw bails. Hate to say it but im not walking in mud/cow pies to load something up on a trailer and then getting in my "cadillac" quality trimmed truck sorry.....no.

 

Thats like all these Ford guys buying a King Ranch Dually knowing good well they aren't going to use it for it's rated purpose and if they do they were raised not to take care of things.

 

But...For Power Drivers, the thought of an HD Denali will appeal very high. Lots of people love to know they have the most powerful Diesel Engine in the sharpest looking truck on the planet.

 

just my .02cents

Nope, its for Doctors, lawyers, drug slingers. The people who have too much money or the ones who have to buy stuff like this to make up for the lack of "other things" :cheers:

If I was pulling a 5th wheel, this is something that I'd like to use. There's no reason that a diesel truck has to be a stripper or have just be a work vehicle. There's plenty of retirees and snowbirds who drive Cadillacs, Mercedes and Lexi (plural for Lexus) who would love to pull their 5th wheel with something just as nice as their everyday car. The tool boxes are just a bonus.

UPDATE: While the writer seems to think that hiding the grill area implies that the HD line is getting a face lift for 2010, I believe this is actually the Denali HD in testing. Notice the chrome door handles and the chrome capped door guards. I believe they slapped the Z71 stickers on the back to throw people off. It looks like a Denali HD may happen yet.

Who is the target market? Mexicali pimps?

 

Rich guys that have to tow heavy expensive toys...? It's to compete with the King Ranch SD.

 

We all know you think a truck should only be for work, but why can't it look good too? :lol:

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
