Good morning all.The one Troy found is the one we looked at. The Denali is nice and has lots of bells and whistles but that just means there is more to break too. They came down $1K without me even trying. I'm not saying that is the exact one we are getting. The full time AWD is one of my concerns. I wish it was 2WD/4WD switchable. Won't the full time AWD go through tires faster?

I don't have good luck in general with vehicles so I'm looking for something with as low mileage as I can afford.

Dude, an Excursion is ten times the truck and won't be the problem like a Suburban. Adding Denali after it just makes it worse. A Yukon Denali is the BIGGEST POS on the road. No joke. DON'T BUY ONE. Buying GM's has more to do with your vehicle luck then anything. All the GM trucks will give you trans, fuel pump, suspension, steering, rear axle, and other problems. Especially when you do like you say and get a GM full of extras. Whatever you look at, bring it to me FIRST before you buy it. That will be the best choice you make regardless of what you buy. Low mileage doesn't have anything to do with a better vehicle...

Not only will it go through tires a little faster, it will drink gas too. We had a very similar truck in here on Tuesday and the owner stated he gets 12-13 all day. That was a Tahoe, so smaller than the Yukon too. A V10 Excursion will get that and maybe a little more.

How about this? 2000 excursion limited

Much more (and better) truck for MUCH less $$$

Well, they got the Dodge trucks with the purchase of the business, so that really doesn't count.

Good morning Michael! Yes AWD will go thru tires faster plus the Denali as far as I know comes with the 6.0 gas hog in it so with the AWD your milage will suck. Now look at that EX that Mike posted with only 10k more miles then the one you are looking at. Yes it has the v10 but mileage will be about the same I bet. It doesn't have AWD and it is much cheaper so the extra money can be used other places or stuck in a safe spot in case you do have a break down.
