Lose a $1,000 deposit to gain 2 mpg? $1,000 still buys a lot of gas, even at $3 a gallon. If you think your 2004 with the 4-speed is sufficient for your towing needs, then the 2007 with 4-speed will probably also suit you just fine.
Having said that, I doubt you will lose your deposit. They can sell your LTZ to someone else if you do change your mind.

I saw a new Escalade with the 22s and I think it looks pretty sharp. I think I am good with the look of the 285 tires, so now my problem is trying to find an affordable wheel that is preferrably 22x9 with a large offset. I really dont want any tire sticking out because with a black exterior everything shows. I will settle for a little overhang if I need to. I also like the style of the wheels on the Escalade. I checked out Discounttire but couldnt find anything to my liking. Any other recs of good wheel sites besides the usual ones from google searches?
Thanks
Collins

junglegeorge, i think it's not legal for the dealer to keep your deposit: if you don't take delivery of the vehicle, you get your deposit back, end of story.

Agreed on the deposit. I've backed out of 2 deals in the last 10 yrs on ordered vehicles. With the internet, I've managed to find the same configuration in dealer inventory, and because I'm very impatient, have cut and run. In each case, the dealer where the order was made never made a fuss. They "hoped" that some day, I may still do business with them.

Navigation and Rear Camera

I live in the SF Bay Area and it seems that all the dealers have in inventory is Denalis without the Navigation system and rear camera (which I want). They have MANY Denalis without this. Any reason? They seem to have more Yukons with this option, but no Denalis!

I understand that the nav systems went on constraint after the Yukon's came available and just after the first round of Denali's hit the ground. I hear it could be quite some time before you can get a nav system from the factory. I am researching aftermarket navs now but so far I haven't been able to find anyone who's got the adaptors for the bose/onstar/wheel controls/ or correct wiring harness as well as a mounting kit. I happen to have ONE factory nav to be installed on a yukon WITH dvd. Don't think there is any others available in the country!

I ordered a Tahoe back in the early part of March with the Nav. system and rear camera. These two items were on constrain back then. This is the second GM product I ran into problems with not getting the ordered options I wanted. I was not going to settle for a vehicle which was not going to be configured just the way I wanted it.
I cancelled my Tahoe order after about a month and ordered a 2006 Explorer with the NAV system from the same dealer. Received my Explorer in about five weeks with the NAV system. Ford does not seem to have a problem building vehicles with this option.

Is there a break in period required prior to towing?

Hi Dave
We are investigating an '07 yukon XL or suburban. We tow a 4800 pd RV trailer in the summer(only) we are interested in the DOD but are worried about reliability of new technology. You indicate that you have heard numerous comments on the DOD. Is there a forum out there. We are trying to do some research. Thank you in advance for your help.
Steve
