Stitches040 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Denali's didnt come with a 5.3 the option is a 6.2 or the older styles had the 6.0 so its either a knock off or somebody swapped motors. Yeah, the cheap versions now come with a 5.3 ... GM is just now trying to sell the name and "Image" to a greater mass of people. No 6.2L, no AWD, no Navi ... But hey!!! It's a Denali for $46k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 It comes with a 5.3 and I think 1950$ for the 6.2. I was planning on spending about 50k. Trying to put 20k down to keep payments reasonable. Looks like there a lot cheaper here tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Price out the Diesel version If only I had the need for it. If you are buying a Denali, why would you buy one that's not loaded to the hilt?

If you are buying a Denali, why would you buy one that's not loaded to the hilt? Like we've talked ... I'm looking into a Denali Crew Cab 3/4 ton ... But the more I talk about getting the Diesel, the more sense it makes me to get a gas version. I'd pull a camper only a few times a year, so that will never offset the cost of buying and maintaining a diesel ... The diesels are meant to run & run & run ...

onebadmax Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The new Duramaxs are so sweet, way more truck and motor than their 1/2 ton counterparts. But dang have they gotten exspensive!!! Not sure whether I keep the 2009 or re up in November myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 After owning a 2500HD 6.0 gasser I'll never buy another 6.0 gasser HD worst gasser milage I have ever gotten. My leveled 05 HD with 4.10 gears only got 9.6MPG and 10.MPG on the high way. I could never get any better. all the was done to it was 33" tire and a leveling kit. My buddy on the other hand just bought a 07 LBZ Duramax 6.6 its lifted 6 inchs and has 35"s on it and it gets 14MPG all day long in town and he not easy on it. its chipped and has exhaust and a intake on it. But the Diesel option isn't cheap. but will last you forever if taken care of. the 6.2 Denali are a great looking truck and would be hard to pass up if I was looking for a crewcab truck. one thing I wished they would have made a SS in Crewcab. Would be a great family rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess I will stick with my gasser. It only has 60k miles on it and its 11 years old, all the used diesels I looked at had a ton of miles and were a lot more expensive. The main thing that keeps me from wanting a newer Diesel is GM and ther idiotic placement of the DEF tank. Come on GM, the other HD companies were able to find a place for the DEF tanks that could not be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my 2500HD down the road because of fuel milage. I'll either get a 6.2 denali or a duramax next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebadmax Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Same here, 6.2 or Duramax next. I have a 40ft , 19,000 lb boat that needs trailering every now and then. So my Duramax has to stay around if I end up with a 6.2 denali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
