Urea no big deal put in every 5 k miles, my 2011 3500 dually has 3500 miles urea light still has not come on. BTW chevy 2011 is motor trend tuck of the year that usually says something. Google truck review 2011, Ram is not even same leage as Chevy or Ford as far as towing. Those Rams sure do look nice.

Urea is required for cleaner exhaust. Not a big deal but the GM goes into limp mode and then shuts off if you run out (way inconvienent).

Dodge has to do it with their 2012 models.......

Denali and the SLT/LTZ are identical with the exception of some tacky plastic (faux wood) trim on the center console and steering wheel. The Denali missed the mark for sure. At least Ford goes over the top with their King Ranch editions.

Don't get me wrong, I currently own 4 GMC's right now. 03 Duramax w/ 165K, 04, 05 and 09 Yukon SLT. All bought new and have been great. I just think GM needs to up their game a bit on the Denali, Escalade trim levels for the premium prices they ask.

Can you tell me what's so special about the king ranch? The cowboy seats were all I noticed but I haven't had one in quite some time. Have you seen the denial and slt next to each other. Dash is completely different. As far as the escalade. Well if it ain't broke don't fix it. At least I hope they don't.

I have never owned a Ford but the King Ranch looks nice. The dash/cupholders and even the steering wheel feels nicer in the Ford.

I saw the Denali at the Miami Auto Show in November. Honestly I was disappointed especially after seeing the Dodge/Ford displays. The Dodge has great looking fenders on the duallys (something Ford and GM need to copy/imitate). The Fords just had a better look/feel. The GM's have a rubber basketball feel to their dash/doorpanels/center consoles. I like the exteriors but the new 20's look stolen directly from the Ford parts bin!

The last Duramax I drove was an 08 and it impressed the he11 out of me so I know the new one would be awesome but buying (rather PAYING for)a 50-60K pickup right now doesn't excite me at all!
