Have you towed your boat with your Denali? How’d it do?
I haven’t towed the new one with the Denali. We towed the magic from Havasu to eastvale it did it no problem. We will take the Denali this season I’m sure.

We have a 2015 ESV escalade, 6.2 8 speed Platinum. I was leery when we bought it due to all of the horror stories. We had an 08 ESV/6 speed before, sold it with 215K miles and zero issues other than it started burning oil about 210K). This new one has the massaging seats and what not, which are super nice. I thought it was a gimmick but love them.

The 15 is a much nicer vehicle. The 8 speed wasnt the smoothest when I got it (had 80K miles), so I flushed the trans with the correct M1 fluid, did the transgo trans cooler tstat bypass (trans runs MUCH cooler, used to run in the 180*+ range just empty driving around...now never gets over like 175 towing). It shifts great now.

I tow my Carrera 257 with it a lot. Towed it all the way to LOTO, it runs great. gets ~12-13mpg towing the boat at 75. Gets 19-22 the rest of the time. I left the AFM/DOD stuff active on this one and just keep my fingers crossed.

Good to know! Love the way yours looks, want to convince my wife to switch it up.
