Default Benefit of Sierra Denali over the other 6.2/6L80e

What are the benefits of buying a Sierra Denali over the other 6.2/6L80e trucks?

I am looking at the new Sierra Denali cause it seems like I will have to do less customizing (albeit, the price is more) or should i just get a non denali and change what I want. Are there any other differences?

Denali interior is different than a SLE, Have heated/cooled seats and other Lux
features.

I bought a SLE 6.2 removed the badges and added the grill (still need lower grill)
if you plan on adding other wheels you'd be hard pressed to figure out the difference from the outside.

I'd prefer to spend less initially and spend the money where you want to instead of being stuck with a package.

I like that denali style dash - can you get that in any other GMC with out it being a denali? Like you can the LTZ in a chevy?

The GMC All Terrian has that style dash as well, with a lower price tag than the SLT or LTZ.

I like the package. The entertainment system, the heated cooled seats, the wheels. I think it is a great package, but it depends on what you really want...

If you want AWD the Denali is the only solution. For real 4x4, you have to get a lower trim level. Mine is an an LT 6.2 4x4. Also, if you get the lower trim level, the NHT package is available, which changes the gear from a 3.42 to a 3.73. If you absolutely must have all the features of the Denali that's the only way to go, but fwiw, I was at a dealer yesterday and they had an 07 or 08 Denali 6.2 awd with 38k on the odometer for about the same price as my truck was new. Both crew cabs. I also have a buddy who wishes he had stepped down a trim level and gotten a 4x4, but didn't know he could get the 6.2.
