capo,

i'm a huge fan of the older tahoe look, as well... i'm talkin like, the 98ish body style. but if you're looking at newer tahoe vs yukon denali, here goes:

dont buy a denali, unless you can get a bomb ass deal on one. they're not worth the extra tens of thousands that chevy wants for the "denali" name. and, from what i know of these vehicles, that's absolutely what you're paying for. the nameplates and the grille.

if i were to go this route - and trust me, i'd love to, once i find some money [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] - i'd buy a 2003ish tahoe w/leather and as many options as you want/can find used, and then spend the $10k i saved from not buying a denali to get my rims, my sound, etc. oh, and there's a very good chance that i'd buy the yukon denali nameplates and put them on the ride... either that, or just shave all the decals.

my thoughts.
