The Devil made me do it...

I know it's heresy here but, if anyone is interested, this is what I traded my beloved Denali for. I had to have a Hemi before I die (not the butt type).
Hey my wife's DD is a Nox.

Looks like a nice ride. At least it's not a F... I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

And we'll be here when you come back

 

[littleblazer]

You can check out anytime you like. But you can't ever leave.

 

[Reprise]

Partial to maroon / saddle, eh? LOL

Congrats - GCs are nice whips. While I hope it provides a lifetime of good service...if it doesn't, you know we're gonna bust your...er...balloons about it...

I have to ask... 'butt hemi' ? (maybe it's my middle age showing...I did google it!)

 

[mrrsm]

HEMI + (...Rhymes with 'DROID'...)

Tell us all about the fuel mileage

My Denali was getting 16.2 combined, the Hemi is getting 15.9 combined which seems acceptable considering I'm now at 360 hp, 5,000 lbs. and 8-spd. trans.

?? now I'm showing my age.

LOL...That color ironically ended up making this look like I was trying to replicate my Denali, I actually almost bought a white one but, this was newer and had more stuff so the color wasn't my first choice but, the saddle was.

comparison in cargo space, length, etc to your old Denali?

Just got it.......needed a cup of Joe to get the brain working

Very similar dimensions which is why I went this way. (Denali length 191" Jeep 190") (Denali wb 113" Jeep 114.8) ( Denali weight 4500# Jeep 5000#).
The cargo space( 36.3sqf) seems noticeably larger(deeper) for some reason and I haven't figured out why, maybe the A pillar is more forward on the body or maybe I have that perception because my dog looks smaller back there lol.

That 4500lb weight on the Denali surprises me a bit actually. My truck is about 4800 with me in it and low gas. But that seems to be on the high end of the spectrum no matter what. 5.3 was heavier too. Idk if its impressive or sad that almost 20 years have passed since the platform was introduced and economy is still hanging with the new stuff. Actually the new tahoe gets around 15 combined the way I drive. Last highway trip I got 25 mpg in the thing. Really can't beat the new stuff lol. Especially considering the Tahoe has to weigh north of 6k.

 

[northcreek]

Yeah, I was ball parking the 4500 lbs because I couldn't remember the weight. Your number seems right.

 

[TollKeeper]

Lightweights.... My truck is 6000 with me in it, low on gas.

 

[littleblazer]

Well mine is entirely stock so... work truck is 8200 dry.

My question would be...how much does it weigh without you in it?...

 

[TollKeeper]

My question would be...how much does it weigh without you in it?...

I actually know the answer to that. 5780.

 

[littleblazer]

*steps on scale* my weight may be a little on the light side now...
