The 2007 GMC Yukon Denali is one of those vehicles that you don't need to add any options to, which seems fair considering it carries a sticker of $65,990.But you can take this "highly competitive" price and get it to $70,000 if you really want to, and my bet it that a lot of you will really want to because there are one or two compelling options available.

First off, however, it's worth noting what you get for the entry-level price of the brand new sport-brute from General Motors. The heart of the equipment has to be the 6.2-litre V-8 that sends 380 hp to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission and delivers better fuel economy than the previous model.But the standard equipment also includes a bigger, better and quieter interior, a more refined and professional-looking exterior shape, and improved driving dynamics. These are the types of things a Yukon Denali owner will also appreciate every day.If the occupants of the 2007 Denali are lucky, they will never have to appreciate the safety benefits of a stability control system, head curtain side airbags, and the crash-notification aspect of GM's exclusive OnStar safety-security system.Other standard equipment on the 2007 Yukon Denali version includes 18-inch wheels and tires, a segment-exclusive power fold-and-tumble second row seat, heated first and second row seats, a power liftgate, and remote start.
