I have an 04 Denali and it has spent way too much time in the shop. Under 35,000 miles and replaced muffler, broken front seat, CD player, headlights had to be adjusted for visibility on mountain roads, defroster doesn't clear well, suspension had to be fixed and I suspect the muffler is going again. Currently the odometer is sticking and other gauges look like they're going. On the upside it handles amazingly well in tough ice and snow, had best ride and room in class at the time. I wouldn't consider another except that the GMC trucks have such a great rep that I may have just had a lemon. I just looked at the 07 Tahoe and loved it after considering Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Cad...anything but GMC. Has anyone else had t rouble with GMC or tried out the 07 yet?

I have a 2003 Denali, and have had lots of silly problems, feel better after reading your post. I hate the AWD, and being out of warranty scares me.
 
I was also thinking abou the Yukon or Tahoe, would like to hear some 07 owners thoughts.

I can see where AWD might concern someone. But I don't think I've heard that AWD vehicles (Denali, Volvo XC, Audi Quattro, etc.) had had any technical/maintenance problems related to AWD.

Reductions in Towing Capacity for 07 models by brjohnson

Just took our new 06' Denali in for first oil change today. While there, read through the new 07' brochure.
 
Towing capacity for 07' Denali version with new 6 spd tranny and 6.2L engine on non XL version is 7400lbs vs. 8100lbs for our 06'.
 
Non Denali versions of the 07' have tow ratings that are approx. 700lbs less than previous year.
 
Not sure why they would reduce these. I would have really thought the new 6 spd and 6.2L combo would have had a higher rating. Glad we scooped up our 06' when we did. Constantly getting comments on what a great looking truck it is.

Most folks who tow more than 5000 lbs prefer to go with desiel. Much better experience and much better milage. GM knows that, so their not as concerned about tow rating. Where they've yet to do the right thing is to put that nice Isuzu designed desiel V8 in the Suburban. If they did that, then they'd be hard to beat.
 
I've towed 8500 lbs in my Silverado 5.3 which is rated at 10,000 lbs. It worked, but just isn't worth it. But my towing is extremely rare, as is 90% of all Tahoe owners.
