At the time when I bought my CC it had the biggest back seat which was a huge plus for me. How big's your back seats?

Well so far I have to to say this is pretty much a luxury truck and in a different catagory than the Titan which was a SE model (the in between model). Sticker price on my Titan was right at 30k this one was 42k. My Titan ran 15.7 bone stock (no tow gears) this one probably does 14.6. My Titan got 15mpg@80mph this one gets a hair over 17mpg@80mph, but maybe a little worst gas milage in town.... the computer is still learning (only 900miles). This 6 speed has a mean 2nd overdrive....I'm only turning 1,900 rpm @ 80mph. If I back off to 65mph I get the advertised 20mpg on the sticker. The Titan actually had the bigger back seats, not so much wide just deeper back with more leg room. The Titan back seats are actualy deeper back than my buddies F-250 CC...lol! However the GMC back seats are fine, but i'm only 200lbs and a hair under 6'. The interior and leather are 2nd to none, i'm still drooling. If there was no Denali package or 6.2L w/6-spd available I may have bought another Titan, although It would have been close I like the GMC front end alot. I have always been a Chevy/GM guy just wanted something diff and GM wasn't about to update the body style back in 04' when I bought my Titan.

Beautiful truck....

I love my white chariot....when it's running. We have so much going on at the house, that my fiance is strapped for time. I've been driving the Scion Xb. The noise from the exhaust is giving me a head ache....

A good way to look at it....The AWD Escalade (more drivetrain loss) weighs 400lbs more than my 2wd truck and was trapping at 95mph in the 1/4 with those heavy a$$ wheels/tires... according to some of the reviews anyway...

trying to be optimistic, sounds good right?...lol!

Thanks dude...


I hope mid 13's can be had off of intake, exhaust, and tune...my goal anyway. 2 diff reviews show 14.8 on the AWD flavor and denalitrucks.com has a guy ran 14.66 on a bone stock AWD. I figure less weight/drivetrain loss and 14.5's should be within reason on a 2wd with a graceful launch. Nelson tune, intake, and exhaust has gotta be worth around a full sec right?

Wishful thinking.....i'm gonna check it out though...

I'm fixing to dump the break in oil and do some g-tech runs so I can get familiar with launching her....

Are you going to de-badge it, or do like running with the Denali tags? Classy ride.
