Just remember though you were ready to trade the Yukon on an LX because the battery was dead

The Denali had an $82,000 sticker. This LX was I think $112,000. Why anyone would pay a cent more than that for an LX is beyond me. If they kept V8s alive it would be a tougher decision. Even with the Denali, the Escalade is a better comparison.... but I think the Caddy is also a waste of money above a Denali.

TWO DAYS in a row I've been stranded. The battery was bad in the Yukon, these damn complicated cars, and it made everything go haywire. Running boards stopped working and everything. I realllllllly missed my key and column shifter you just feel helpless with nothing analog to use to help/diagnose/fix. They couldn't get it into neutral so they had to drag it up onto the flatbed. So it's good it was just a crappy battery but today has been interesting let's just say!

More info if so. The Yukon stranding me was fine, but I wouldn’t want it to be another family member and they sure as hell don’t want it to happen either.

It possible it could be more than the battery.

Like I said when it was delivered, if it’s junk it’ll be traded right in on an LX. The problem is size. But I could always buy them a roof rack luggage thing.

I’ve had to put some money into the Mercedes (fine) then the GMC breaks down (not fine). I sure hope it’s a small fluke. It’s under warranty. I took it back to the dealer on Friday and they’re running more tests once they get it back in there to the shop tomorrow I’ll know for sure.

LX570s don’t strand people, or sure aren’t known for it.

I don't get bad deals on cars, never have never will. It'll take me 2 seconds to sell that Yukon and then pay less for an LX. I don't want a phone call from someone older in my family that's broken down and scared to death on the interstate in an $80,000 pretty much new SUV.

I sure could have used a shifter that wasn't on the dash that other day to get it into neutral and push it further off the road, LX wouldn't have been a problem. It has a real shifter and gauges.

Of course I hope it's just a silly fluke, I love that thing and GMCs. I still think it's the battery...

My GM engineer cousin would take a Denali over all of them including Escalade, just as someone who works for the company for example. Some people think the Denali is just the right mix between a Yukon SLT and Escalade. I am telling you that LX is not any better inside, would be curious to hear your opinion. Two huge (Lexus quality) wood panels adjust and cover storage and cupholders in the Denali, I definitely feel you there on exposed cupholders.
