I wanted to like it, but...

dont they have air suspension unlike the ford? They look better ( especially the denali )
Interior quality has really stepped up.
If the Denali Ultimate and the Platinum were the same price it would be a really difficult choice

im not sold on the tailgate. IM going to have to lift my dogs up there so they dont break their legs. they are large labs too.

furthermore the standard yukon has a larger trunk then the regular expedition. If you get a bench id miss the individual tilt and slide also

Yes they have air suspension, as well as all of its competitors. However, only the gms and jeeps actually ride better. Toyota doesn't, and its too soon for the armada, but the qx80 i drove didn't feel better than any expy or nav I've driven.

Looks are pretty subjective so no argument here. Personally, I think the 25 denali look has downgraded and prefer the new tahoe look. Interior quality has gone up, but still not really good as fords, especially tahoe.

For 25, regular denalis are 90k+ without the options, and the denali ultimate is 110k. All these trucks are expensive, but Thats pretty egregious if you ask me. All that does is prevent cadilac from actually selling their base escalade trim.

Sorry about the dogs. The tailgate isn't going to be for everyone. For me, my dads jump into the back will be no different. He had to jump into our current nav now, and if he couldn't make it, I'd have to lift him. I don't have a ramp for him, so either way he'd have to jump.

Lastly, our expy had a bench and the outboard seats did tilt and slide, so I don't know why you mentioned that they didn't. I think Only the old xl trims bench not tilt, but xlt and up the bench outbard seats do. My wife and I both prefer the tilt and slide over the tumble in the gms.

I just want a vehicle that stays out of the dealers service bay!

To play on the title, I was liking it... And then I looked at the two tone rear hatch. It will be hard pass unless there is an option to color match the middle panel on the rear hatch.

good points, good to know you've driven them all. and yes 110k at that price I'm going maybe navigator or escalade. But on another note, if you go denali, and not navi or escalade you can slide under the radar more and not draw as much attention to yourself. Part of me loves those vehicles but dont want the extra attention. Dont want the wife to get that attention or be a target.

I must have misspoken when i said the expi doesnt have a 3 way tilt. I was saying that the ford does and the GM does not so thats a W for the Ford. Its finally good to see that GM has upped its game on the interior.

I know that Ford often has deals on the Expeditions. Does GM have the same kind of thing on theirs? thats gotta be the way to go when buying as well. A leftover last year model ect to save the extra $$ if you dont have an "a" plan

Also, ive yet to see the 25 expedition in person so im definitely looking forward to it

I feel the same, but we've had a few navs and my dad has an Escalade so I guess we're used to it. I have actually always adored thw nav and after owning a couple, it solidified my love for them. I try not to take then to certain places.

My bad for misunderstanding. Gm has def made some strides with their Interiors, and the new ones are no different. They are really nice and show well.

I can't wait to see the expy and navi in person as well as to drive them. Since they started building them, I would expect to see the first drives in the next few weeks.
