SUT to Yukon Denali

[Crush'em]

As someone that traded my SUT off exactly one year ago this week for a Tahoe LTZ, I am still in super regret mode... Why didn't anyone me!

Part of my job requires lots of driving (35k/yr.), and the LTZ is nice enough to drive, but comparing it to the H2, - the seats suck, visibility sucks, I only get 2-3 more mpg, the 5.3 feels like it has less power than the 6.0 regardless of vehicle weight, chicks don't dig it, and it looks like every other damn "soccer mom" ride. The only things I like better about the Tahoe are the radio/navigation/back-up camera, it doesn't stand out on the highway from the state troopers and the interior doesn't squeek to high heaven. I won't even comment on snow/ice/mud and rain.

I'm really considering selling the LTZ for a low mileage '07 Yellow... Not that I have been looking or anything...

I have an 09 H2 and my plans are to keep it for as long as it will run.

I did the same thing last year this time and sold my 07 SUT for a LTZ Avalanche.....................by april I had enough and the Ave' was gone and a 08 SUV with 10,xxx miles was back in my driveway. There isn't anything left that compares with the H2. I almost got caught again by the "YearEnd" dealers trying to grab my H2 but came to my senses. The Denali drives beautifully, but the way you sit in it and the size of the seats just don't do it any justice. I worry about the parts for the H2 sometimes...............

Merry Christmas

I'm driving an '07 now, but have been looking at '08-'09's anytime I can find them. From what I hear, the interior door panel squeeking has been taken care of with a much better quality interior redo in the newer 2's. Nav & backup cam can be had in another one.
I never understood why my H3 had a MUCH more refined interior that the deuce--I really liked the Moroccan trim and it didn't squeek! The deuce has a nicer overall interior with super nice leather, but leaves some to be desired. One of my dealer literature books states they were looking forward to an Alpha H2, I think the interior would have been really nice if that would have happened.

My local service manager advised me a couple years ago to actually stay away from the newer models. He said the new transmissions weren't as great as they had hoped, and certain things on the interior, like the air vents, broke if you just looked at them wrong. He basically said they weren't worth trading up for.

I agree 100% that the seats suck in the 07+ Tahoe, Yukon, escalades. I love my 07 hummer seats. The 6.2 sounds great though. As far as getting rid of a hummer for and other gm suv..... I can't do it. Ive had tahoes and escalades. Drove all models. We and old. Pickup is great on the escalades and denalis. But you can't beat a hummer I the snow.
