My 2011 Denali HD 2500

[GTSpartan]

Well, my old man gave me the ok to get a new work truck to replace my '06 Cummins, which was and still is a good truck that gave me no problems.

Anyway, I decided to try one of the Ford or GM HD's this time around. I also wanted a 2500 instead of a 3500. I spent the last 2 weeks testing and comparing the Ford and GM twins. The Chevy was quickly eliminated, mostly due to it was the most bland and boring of the three, which left the Denali HD 2500 vs the Ford F250 King Ranch.

Compared to my 2006, these things are space ships and are not even comparable. Each has their + and -, and IMO it basically comes down to personal preference. Each will definitely 100% meet your needs.

For me, it came down to the wire, but once I saw the jet black Denali, my mind was made up, so here she is. Loaded, with every bell and whistle. Sorry about the crappy iphone pics.

Never really been in the whole wheel and tire thing. Any suggestions? It can't be anything really extreme since it is my work truck.

I'm scheduled to have the gooseneck installed this week, so I get to look forward to seeing some guy cut a hole in my brand new bed

Why not get a fifth wheel hitch, instead?

I've always loved the Denalis, my only complaint is the amount of space in the rear seating area vs the ford crew cab.

ehh doesn't even look like a HD truck.

Agreed, but this would rip my Cummins into pieces capability wise.

That urea crap kind of sucks too.

I just like the g-neck setup better, as I can just flip it around and have a normal bed. I also pull horse/cattle trailers, which have that setup. We've got a few F550 shop truck with fifth wheel hitches if I ever really need one.

Sharp looking truck! I do agree it could use some more aggressive looking wheels.

I had some Toyo open countries on my last truck, so maybe I'll look into those for this one.

The Denali is a sweet looking truck, what do you do for work btw?

 

[JD03Cobra]

Beautiful truck!!

 

[Snagged]

I always thought work trucks were somewhat plain and not that flashy.....this truck certainly proves that wrong (ha). That thing must have been pricey.

Have any interior shots of it?

That tailpipe has got to go!

 

[WireEater]

Something is wrong with your bumper, I'd take it back.

Exhaust looks like a musket. Designer of that particular part needs to be circumcised with a rusty fork.
