Bad transmission.

This track only has a 142xxx miles I still owe $14,000... Transmission Went out no warning signs doing highway speed track shut off. Started up, no drive reverse. Just a loud rattling sound coming from transmission.

206 SMITH ST NE po box 166

overall i like the truck alot, its a very dependable vehicle. it has its little quirks for a used truck. there's little things like the drivers door switch for the mirrors and the door locks that are not working as of now but i haven't taken the time to look into it as of yet. minor to me and i'm sure i can fix for a few bucks. nice riding and driving truck i would buy again.

Very Good Truck

I bought my 4x4, 5.3L ext cab at 2 years old. The records show that it had some serious factory defects (transfer case, oil pump) before I got it. Its been a great truck for me as its never been in the shop for repair. The only work I've had to do to it has been oil & filter changes, new battery and new tires. I've put 100,000 miles on it and it has 141,000 on it now. I has a few nuisance failures like high beams won't come on (the lights have been bench tested to work) and the window/mirror switches on the driver's door are failing. mechanically though, its bullet-proof.

This was the best GM truck I've ever owned

I bought this truck used in 2016. I would still own it to day (January 2021) if not for the rust in the rear wheel wells. That seems to be a problem with many GM pick up trucks. It was the SE version and I really enjoyed owning and driving it. It never let me down and was trouble free for the 65K miles that I owned it. It was the most comfortable pick up truck I've owned. The 5.3L engine had all the acceleration a sane person needed and if you drove it sensibly on the highway, you could expect to get 21-23 mpg. Not bad for a 6K pound + truck. If GM ever addresses the rear wheel rust issue on these trucks, I might own another one some day.

Seems like a good truck

Nice truck so far, drove it home 150 miles. Seemed to run just fine, I’ll have to give it a few more days to find out how good it is

Great Truck!

This truck works great and is comfortable doing it even at 150,000 miles. Our GM trucks have always preformed well and this one is no different.

Best truck I have ever owned.

This truck was perfect for me. It drove great, the interior was nice, there was plenty of travel room for my family, and it pulled any type of trailer needed. I would highly recommend this truck!

Great Vehicle

This truck meets all of my needs and more. Great ride and made to last. The truck has a sturdy suspension yet comfortable on the road. The features are focused on driver convenience and safety.

best truck I ever had

when i retired, i wanted a vehicle that was reliable and comfortable. this Denali came loaded and has met or exceed all my expectations. the engine management system lets it get up to 21 mpg on the highway and functions without flaws. it is appointed nicely on the interior and has an eye catching exterior. all my vehicles are gm because of the quality in this vehicle!

This truck has been a pleasure to drive

This truck is clean, comfortable, reliable easy to maintain. I drive a city vehicle now and no longer need a truck to drive to work.
