E-Mail Questions at: alishiaahholderness@ft6.com .
Features: There are too many to list. Cadillac has nothing on this truck! Honestly, I probably only understand about 1/2 of the features this truck has to offer. It is full of tech. I have all the manuals to assist the new owner with exposing all of the options on the truck. Most of the options, except the rear video, wheels, and 6.2L engine, are standard on a Denali, but as for a few I find cool/useful, or otherwise worth mentioning:
(a) Seating: the rear seats are extremely comfortable and there’s plenty of room for adults to ride. I would gladly take a long trip in the back seat of this truck and I’m a big guy. The truck has more room in the back than my wife’s minivan and most passenger cars I’ve ridden in. The front seats are electric in every way imaginable. Both front seats are heated and air conditioned! Climate Control: With dual zone climate control, you and your front passenger can have it just the way you want it. Not only can you set two different temps, but with the heating and cooled seating, you can actually stay warmer or cooler than your passenger with no problem. For rear passengers, no worries about being comfortable because heat and air come to the back via floor vents as well as vents in the back of both front seats. It also has a heated steering wheel!
(b) The tech: One of the most amazing tech options for me is the wifi in the truck. It’s satellite based (Onstar) and is very inexpensive (around $20/month) and is very fast. I need wifi for my job wherever I am. The truck enables me to have it for all of my devices anywhere in the country even if I have no cell service. The truck can also have its own phone number. Yes, you don’t even have to own a phone… this truck will call and text for you (without a separate phone) for a fee to Onstar. Of course, you can make calls from your smart phone, answer calls and talk via the vehicles intercom/audio system at the push of a button (no problems with the truck hearing you while driving b/c there are multiple microphones & truck is whisper quiet). The truck accepts verbal commands for all tech functions from navigation to phone usage, to finding a gas station, to adjusting the media/radio, etc.. And, the truck almost always actually understands my commands (something not true for my previous vehicle). The truck has several USB connections throughout, multiple traditional cigarette jacks, 2 SD card jacks, 1/8 jacks in front and back, RCA connections for media in the back, volume control for the wireless headphones as well as for one set of wired headphones for the rear passenger. And, of course, bluetooth is available for connection to phones or any other blue tooth device (including hearing aids) for talking, playing music, etc.. I.e., if you wish to be connected, this is your truck! There is also a power-inverted 110 outlet as seen in the pics. This can power your laptop and other such small amperage items.
(c) 4 wheel drive: With the twist of a knob, you can be in 2WD, 4-low, 4-high, or the “auto” setting. In my opinion, this is a must for any truck.
(d) Towing: The truck has the full tow package with hook up for both types of often-used trailer connections. The cargo light is not just in the usual position above the bed, but there are LED’s in the inside rails of the bed as well so you can see well inside the bed in the dark. Transmission has tow/haul mode for saving the tranny under heavy loads. Pressing this button also changes the dash display to include a transmission temp reading.
(e) 8-Speed Auto transmission w/manual-paddle shifter: Shifts more smoothly than any truck I’ve ever driven. Unless you get into the throttle, you never notice the truck shifting. Similar to the Camaro (and other vehicles), if you put the transmission in “manual”, you can use the “+/-“ button on the automatic shifter to change gears and give the truck the feel of a manual. This also helps with pulling large loads.
(f) Remote vehicle start/control: Just download the “onstar app” and you can lock/unlock your doors, start or shut down the truck, and set off the truck’s alarm from anywhere in the world!
(g) It has a television, and you can watch in the front!!! This is a big bonus for parents. The HD TV in the back is controlled up front or via the wireless remote. The rear passengers have 2 sets of wireless headphones already connected with the media system in the truck. Just pop in a movie, turn on the headphones, and that’s it! As shown in the pics, the movie also displays on the front display whenever the truck is in park position. Kinda cool if you’re on the road and stop for a while or stop to eat, etc..
(e) Other useful options: The door mirrors withdraw (for pulling into a garage etc) with the touch of a button on the door. The mirrors are, of course, all electric. The gas and brake pedals can be brought closer to and farther from the driver to accommodate for short/tall drivers. The mirrors, driver’s seat, and pedal positions can be saved (two separate settings) for one touch readjustment of this items. Handy for husband/wife to have their own settings. The truck is tall so the parking assist front and back is very helpful (and it shows you where you are, it doesn’t just beep when you get close to something). It has a backup camera, of course with direction guidance when backing up. Also, the center console is the most functional I’ve ever seen. As shown in the pics, you can move parts around to satisfy your needs. It even allows for a hidden access compartment (for hiding things like concealed weapons, wallets, etc). The main compartment is very large and thus allows for plenty of storage. There are additional storage compartments on both sides of the console. You won’t run out of places to put things. Sun roof and rear window: These are handy options for brightening your day. The sunroof works great and doesn’t create a lot of noise. The electric back window opens with a push of a button by the rear view mirror.

2015 GMC Yukon Denali
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Automotive enthusiasts often wonder aloud - ourselves included - why General Motors would choose to keep GMC while sending Pontiac (and Saturn, and even Oldsmobile before it) into the great automotive graveyard in the sky. The answer, as is so often the case, is profit. It's much easier for GM to rake in money hand over fist by rejiggering the trucks, crossovers and SUVs that it would already be developing for Chevrolet and making them a bit more luxurious and *ahem* "Professional Grade" with new grilles, badges and unique packaging for GMC.
While it may sound like we're being cynical, we totally approve of GM's fullsize SUV strategy. The least-expensive way to get into the fold is with the Chevrolet Tahoe, which starts at $45,595 with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a cloth interior. Bumping that same Chevy to LTZ trim and its $59,995 sticker price lands a much nicer leather-clad interior and more techno-bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. But it still looks like a Tahoe, and it still comes with the smaller 5.3-liter engine. Or, you could do what we'd do: Walk into your GMC dealer and take a look at the Yukon Denali. Here's why.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
GM confirms 2015 Silverado, Sierra to get 8-speed automatic
Fri, 18 Jul 2014When viewed alongside the next Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500, there is one thing that seems to be missing from the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Where the F-150 will rely on turbocharging and aluminum architecture and the Ram sports an eight-speed automatic and an air suspension, the General Motors twins lack a big, calling-card feature. They're very good, very refined trucks, but one could argue that they're not terribly innovative.
And while it might not be as flashy a feature as air suspension or a lightweight skin, the Silverado and Sierra will get their own eight-speed automatic for 2015, a transmission that will be paired with the company's Ecotec3 6.2-liter V8. The new cogswapper will also find its way into the GMC Yukon Denali, but for now, there's no indication why the Cadillac Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe and standard Yukon are being left out.
According to GM, the new gearbox is about the same size and weight as the current Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed. By the time the new powertrain combination enters production late this year, the EPA will almost certainly have gotten around to certifying the vehicles' fuel efficiency. Until then, feel free to speculate. The current Silverado with the 6.2 and six-speed auto returns 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway. How much do you think the eight-speed will improve those figures? Scroll down for the official press blast from General Motors, and then head into Comments.
