I am looking at replacing my truck w/ and 3rd row SUV serve as the kid, inlaw, and race car hauler. My budget is around $25,000 (or less if possible) and after driving a Suburban, a Yukon XL, a Denali and an Expedition, I was most impressed with the Ford. I am looking in the 2007-09 range. Anyone have any real world experience with these?
We've had an expedition(when they first came out) and 2 successive denali's "in the family."
I don't remember the expedition other than it had an electric suspension, the Denali's have been great, I love them.
Your budget is huge unless you want very new. The last Denali that was sold was an '04 or 05 (not sure) with the 6.0 or 6.3 and the towing package. Wonderful truck, sold with about 120,000 miles with no problems other than regular maintenance. Lots of luxo items.(middle row leather seats were heated too) Sold for about 10k with nothing wrong. Used it to tow a car OH to NEPA, couldn't tell it was there.
Its replacement was an 08, no probs yet but not as fancy. the giant michelin tires are expensive. Ride great, tow great, good power. These things do not hold their resale value.
