The GMC has released their latest version of the 2005 GMC Denali, a GMC’s version of the General Motors SUVs along with Chevrolet and Cardillac nameplates! The 2009 GMC Denali, this model gives you an aura of confidence on the road because of its looks. It has a muscular form and wide firmly planted stance. It also gives an aggressive and performance-oriented appearance because of its minimal overhangs, large wheels, sleek headlamps and low roof profile.

The 2005 GMC Denali sports a V8 engine capable of 325 horsepower and a torque of 370 lb/ft. The downside to this power is that you only get around at 12 mpg around the city and a lousy 16 mpg on the highway.

Unlike the 2005 GMC Denali, the 2009 GMC Denali is capable of 326 horsepower. The 2009 GMC Denali has a two-mode hybrid system that is combined with an E-85 ethanol capable engine. Its fuel content consists of 85% ethanol and just 15% gas. It has a 4.9L SIDI engine, with Active Fuel Management powers, making it more fuel-efficient.

The GM’s Quadrasteer 4-wheel steering of the 2005 GMC Denali can decrease the turning circle at low speeds. It is also manufactured to enhance its stability at higher speeds and when towing. While the 4-link suspension design of the 2009 GMC Denali can reduce body roll and optimize longitudinal compliance. It uses a coil over shocks and a decoupled stabilizer that enhances the cowering control. This gives the 2009 GMC Denali the capability of hauling a cargo on twisted roads.

2009 Denali not only has a good payload capacity of 1,100 pounds but also a good towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. And unlike most conventional-body on frame trucks, it has a greater stiffness. It can support a very capable truck platform because of its concept of unibody structure makes it possible for a mounting point for a 4-wheel independent suspension giving the vehicle its performance feel anywhere on the road.

The 2005 Denali has 3-rows of seats that can accommodate up to nine persons. But the third row can be easily folded, flipped, slides or removed to suits your needs. It even has an adjustable second row bucket seat that offers an excellent support. Whereas the 2009 Denali only has two rows of seats but the midgate can be opened. So the second row seats can be folded to accommodate in the bed something longer like skis or surfboards.

It is up to you to choose, a 2005 Denali that looks like a Tahoe or the latest 2009 GMC Denali, a hybrid between a suburban and a pick-up at the back!
