Best truck I have ever owned

I love the options in the SLT model, very comfortable and quiet. It has great backseat leg room and quiet enough on the highway to have conversations with passengers in back seat without needing to raise my voice.

Dump it before 75k miles

5th truck in 24 years All have had transmission failures around 100k -125k miles ( I don’t tow anything) Current 3 year old 1500 Denali has 95k miles and required a new ac condenser ($1700) and radiator ($1100) Transmission failed at 60k but was under warranty Either have enough $$$ to buy extended warranty or a new truck every three years

Nicest truck I've ever owned

Great truck purchased with 35k miles, went with the 6.2l denali ultimate edition. I did however plug in a range technology obd2 controller though to eliminate v4 mode as its know to cause major valve train/ possibly transmission problems. I didn't buy a truck for fuel economy anyways. Still get around 20-38mpg on instant fuel economy, averaging 14-17 city depending on driving. Haven't really been on any long trips with it yet so don't have any highway mpg numbers. Overall great truck love everything about it.

Only have owned it for a week

Very thoughtful interior design & layout. Very comfortable so I do not mind my boyfriend always driving! When I have driven the vehicle it doesn’t drive like a large vehicle. Very easy to drive and a nice braking system on the vehicle (the last truck we had, had an undersized braking system). Garage door system was easy to program. Easy to use owners manual. System setup is not overly complicated

Great Truck!

I bought the Elevation Edition with the V6. The truck is great. Runs well and is very quiet on the highway. Gas mileage is fantastic, and it tows with no problem. Exterior styling looks great.

Nice Truck

We have been buying automobiles from the Marhofer dealerships since 1983. It has always been a no hassle, lowest, or very competitive price. Our trade-ins have been consistent with Kelly blue book, and in a few cases even higher. As a result we have recommended the Marhofer family of dealerships to our friends and family. To date our family has purchased approximately 13 vehicles. We started to become interested in the GMC line in 2011 and have used the Marhofer GMC dealership in North Canton to purchase our last 5 vehicles. When in North Canton we always ask for Steve Richards. He not only guides us through the purchasing process, but is very knowledgeable and takes the time to calculate the best price based on what current offers are available for our particular needs. I have also used the service department for my oil changes/tire rotations and have been happy with the results. At this point, I am confident that our next purchase will be at this dealership.

Great Truck

Love this Truck. Was looking for something reliable and hardworking but still looked great and had all the bells and whistles. Super comfy seats for long or short drives and loaded with tech, although it can be a bit difficult to figure out in the beginning, it works how its supposed to.
