We are planning on getting a 2015 denali XL in 3 years. We have been very happy with our current one. Had a few minor issues, but not bad for putting 80k miles on it. Only major thing was a tranny rebuild at 110k because Chevy put cheap plastic actuator pistons in instead of the aluminum ones.

Problem i had with the denali xl i had, is that its freakin huge, and gas hog.
The 2011+ Durangos have gotten awesome reviews. And the big thing is that it fits out needs as far as features, hideaway third row, and can tow. Kind of the sweet spot for us size wise, but still gets good gas mileage. Would be nice to get the hemi 8 cyl, but will likely end up with the 6 in the Crew trim.
Like anything its all about what your situation is and the needs/wants.

I don't know about you, but usually reliability and longevity are on every car buyer's list.

Toyota Sequoia?

My asking about a canyon 2015 model was in regards to the "smaller" pickups that are now the size of 2000 era 1/2 tons and still rated to 6k towing capacity, but even better they come with diesel motors too, with all motors having impressive MPG ratings for their capabilities.

Looking at a truck/suv DD to tow a car/trailer if needed.

The older canyons and colorados in I5 form can tow 5500k too, not just the 2015. The new ones are pimp though. Ive been looking at used crew cabs, but for the price of a low mile one, many other SUVs join in the crowd.

If I decide to go suv for a daily, ill be looking for something too, probably used Acadia, or something similar. Dont need tahoe hualing/towing power coupled with shitty mpg.

The 2.8L Turbo Diesel won't be out until the 2016 model year :-\ And they're basically going to cost what a 1500 would cost you.

The 3.6L V6 is supposed to have a max towing capacity of 7000lb with the Z82 towing package.l

And yes, Chevy Colorado = GMC Canyon.

Ford Explorers are really nice these days for SUV's but like everything Ford for the last few years costs an arm and a leg.

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought I read somewhere they were out, but obviously wrong.

yeah the V6 Durangos get decent milage, have a great tow rating, and are unibody so would still be somewhat comfy of a ride, and a 3rd row however not sure how usable it really is.

The Yukon hybrid actually get decent milage for their size, city mpg is better than Durango. Which is why im curious about them too. But theyll be bigger and on a truck frame so not sure if i really need that.

The 2015 have cylinder deactivation so they get OK mpg for their size, but still not that great in my opinion.

pffft. I daily drove DSMs for 14 years. Put on 180,000 miles between my two GSXs. Only time they left me stranded was because of a dead battery and that is hardly the car's fault. DSMs make great daily drivers if they aren't modded to hell and been ripped apart a dozen times.

Of course none of those circumstances exist anymore for DSMs.

^Agreed. Put a good amount of miles on mine when it was making 410/440 with a pulled wastegate line.
