the fact that you even remotely think a H3 will handle better than a Denali

and the fact that you don't

it does everything better than an H3 on the Highway, as far as handling is concerned.

But the same can be said for the Denali and the H2, the regular Yukon, a pickup, the Expedition, Excursion, and most other truck based vehicles.

paragon, I'd like to understand what you mean. Could you give some examples of your expectations of good handling on the highway? Or maybe a few situations where the driving characteristics of the other trucks is superior to the H3? Personal experience or objective reports would be great.

I didn't say the other trucks were superior to the H3. I said that the Denali was superior to most truck based vehicles in the handling department.

That's from vast experience. I've owned one since 2001 and have driven nearly all of the other vehicles. Get your heads out of your collective asses. The Denali is made for the road, period. It's Ok for it to drive better.

I owned a pre-2001 Denali and still think it's a better vehicle for the road, but that's also where it needs to stay. It's not an offroad vehicle.

My Yukon Denali drove like mush. The worst driving experience I've ever had in a truck. My ex's Envoy Denali, however, was much better.

Yes you did, "it does everything better than an H3 on the Highway, as far as handling is concerned. But the same can be said for the Denali and the H2, the regular Yukon, a pickup, the Expedition, Excursion, and most other truck based vehicles"

... Unless you meant that the Denali is superior to itself on the highway, which is meaningless.

Geezus

I appreciate that you have personal experience with driving a Yukon Denali. Could you elaborate on the specific aspects of its highway handling which are better than the H3? This is an honest question. I've never driven a Denali and I am curious about your opinion.

Are you just normally dumb are you simply trying to argue again?

I didn't mention the H3 in the second sentence. I compared the Denali to most other truck based vehicles. You can't even reach to come to any other conclusion.

No.

I have no desire now, nor ever to waste time in attempt to validate anything to, most especially you. My opinion is what it is. Should you not believe it, fine. I really don't give 2 sh!ts because the effect my opinion has on you raises about as much concern to me as an ant fart.
